I'm guilty of this, as it's Week One, and we're adjusting to The New Normal. But I've got new rules for 2025. If you're just gonna politidunk or repost a stream of "Can you believe what they did NOW?" stuff, then we're not gonna work out. My Zoloft dose just ain't strong enough for you.

Maybe? I always get it confused with Sing. And I haven't finished either of them 'cause they both GET ME SO DAMN HORNY!

My wife just got into Doc on Fox, and she just said "How she doesn't get fired every episode I just don't know."

I was like "She's a white woman with amnesia. It's PERFECT! All she has to say is 'I'm sorry. I didn't know I couldn't do that'."

The saddest part is it didn't HAVE to go this way. The other folks tend to have a fraction of the fame and fan base he's squandering. And, then, to double down?

Yes, but not all 200 of them. I'll offend roughly 12. And I wouldn't use the week. That's just a recipe for disaster. I'd make up most of the shit on the spot, and not by resorting to crowdwork.

Just you on a stage with a microphone in front of 200 people for 30 minutes. Can you make them laugh?

(You get a week of prep time)

Jeremy Strong looks like the kind of guy who grows a mustache simply to twirl it.

The Walmart app tricked me. And it doesn't help that everybody is throwing around "Retro" all willy nilly!

This fool could have just stayed under the radar. Now he's gonna have to resign, "to spend more time with my family". He did it to himself.

My mom asked me to pick up a birthday card for her to give to my aunt. I was like "What do you want it to say?"

She goes "Something like 'You are like a sister to me'..."

I'm like "Um, she IS your sister."

This was the first year I did Marvel Unlimited, and I was kinda shocked how underwhelmed I was by the merch shipment. Lotta empty room in that box. For $100/year, they could give me the fucking HERBIE. Especially if I made the trip all the way to NYC. Sell it online.

I'm surprised Kash didn't pause to wipe his mouth with the back of his hand, 'cause that was some royal dick suckery.

Right?! Some absentminded boss glanced and said "Don't forget to add something like 'To Purchase'."

In case you weren't sad enough about the Challenger disaster, hang this in your hallway so that you think of it every time you need a nighttime pee.

Y'all, there are 128 episodes of Hot in Cleveland. For context, there are 62 episodes of Breaking Bad.
