Back in August, I had a procedure where they gave me anesthesia. And my hand looked like that (I mean, 40 years younger, but still...) after I had the IV. They couldn't connect in one hand so they tried in both. Both looked like that.

Everyone seems to have forgotten how Liam Neeson said out loud that he wanted to beat up random black men after a friend of his was raped. Like not the guy who did it, just any black man would do. I stopped watching his stuff after that. I don't care how funny the new Naked Gun is.
