Surely Jay Leno of all people wouldn't go to such lengths for self-promotion! 😂

It's hard to believe that Project Hail Mary started out as ALF fan fiction, but I guess that's Hollywood for you.

Supper Mario Broth:

Rising shipping costs have made mail-order brides unaffordable.

For what it's worth, E.T. might be the first video game I ever owned, so it will be kinda cool to have it in my collection.

Rockwell's standing up guy.

I don't think an eBay item that I purchased from a seller in Lexington, Kentucky, should be routed through Kansas on its way to West Virginia.

Hard to believe it's been a year.

Woke up, grabbed my phone from the nightstand, and immediately Googled "cheap sushi near me."

'net nomenclature: A list of internet slang terms including "spanking the 'net."
