Despite good representation, the list needs yet more Adam Sandler.

Ah the good Dr. Ruth. "When it comes to sex, the most important six inches are the ones between the ears." Or, "Eating an ice cream cone 'provocatively' in public can send out a message, if you dare." Go figure.

Happy Friday Miss C!

Minnesota, and every state, should have a distinct, easily identified flag, for when the US breaks up.

Cybertruck is not a truck, it’s a joke. Strictly for people wanting to be seen driving the latest “in thing”.

I see a danger in the temptation to use those butterfly designs in wallpaper that would drive you crazy.

“...would have made television a far less appealing medium long-term.” They say that like it’s a bad thing.

Dr Ruth got away with it because neither her appearance nor voice are sexy.
