I would just like to reiterate how weird it is that everyone is still referring to "Too Much" as Lena Dunham's return to television after "Girls". She did a whole other show!

I may just be a simple country hooftrimming video watcher, but I think it's time we raise America's hoof, pare away the separated horn until we reach the infected area, spray it with a powerful cleansing agent, and place a salicylic acid wrap on the foot so we can begin to heal

One of the joys of making television is having to do writers rooms on location in places like an abandoned Sunday school classroom in Yonkers.

This is great. Mike is doing something no one else is doing in comedy and it's pretty wonderful.
You’ve Never Heard of Alt-Comedy’s Favorite Writer (He Wants It That Way)
Mike Sacks’ bizarre books and podcasts have drawn a cult following among celebrities from Jon Hamm to Bob Odenkirk. And if you don’t know his name, well, that’s entirely his fault.

Caring for stationery in hot weather, a brief guide:
- pop pencils in a jar of cool water to prevent wilting
- lie erasers somewhere dark, under a damp cloth
- vintage stamps will curl, pop into an envelope & under a book
- paperclips warping? Refrigerate.
- bury wax crayons, note location
