Me: Don't fall in love with me doll face. I'm no good for you; I'm bad news.

When I finally get paid for this job, I’m gonna get a haircut, maybe a sweet Henry V fade – have my troops rain arrows down upon mine enemies, dabble in some dysentery, etc

If you're performing standup for ghosts and the audience starts shouting, "Boo! Boooo!" don't panic. You're killing.

Spent all day going from Halloween store to Halloween store. No one makes a plastic scimitar a man can fucking rely on.
