I made my favorite t-shirt because of this doc.

If you were a teenager in the mid 80's you definitely recognize this exact group of people, no matter what part of the country you’re from. Hell, I was a black kid in NYC at the time, but certainly knew folks like Zebraman and the chick that wanted to jump Rob Halford’s bones. I’m so happy that HMPL exists so I can…

and imagine being 20 and being publicly scrutinized. she may not be one of the biggest names in music right now, but she is big enough to get more hate from strangers than she deserves.

This bill would require full anesthesia for childbirth induction due to late-term labor or preeclampsia. I was induced for preeclampsia at 34 weeks. Ladies in a similar situation in Utah will be forced to have a C-section, because you can’t push when you’re unconscious. Insurance companies should be furious. This will…

He said he was trying to get into character for the…

You think that’s bad, watch Hook

You think that’s bad, he actually had Bob Hoskins keel-hauled for insubordination during Hook.
