I had two, but the last time I did karaoke I discovered that as I’ve gotten older my singing voice is deeper and higher parts don’t quite come off the same way

I reckon you could have brought the house down with a rendition of Are We Human or Are We Dancer

It always blows my mind the certainty with which these people make their proclamations despite all evidence showing that they have never and will never get any of it right.

Once, when I worked in the bookshop, i was asked for a book with the “fancy writing that monks do” in it. When i pressed the woman for more information (such as a title) she informed me that she had seen the book in a dream, and woke up before she could find out the title.

Me when it happens

"When same-sex marriage was still years away, there was America’s Uncle, straight as can be, demanding a future in which LGBTQ families be given a full stake in the American Dream and hurry the fuck up on that, please and thank you."

1986 Stand by Me 1987 The Princess Bride 1989 When Harry Met Sally... 1990 Misery 1992 A Few Good Men

Look at this run of films. One of the best to ever do it.

So many, but the first one that popped into my head was:

I do not, for one, think that the problem was that the band was down. I think that the problem may have been, that there was a Stonehenge monument on the stage that was in danger of being crushed by a dwarf.
