The scene in the 1933 film classic King Kong had a notable scene cut from the final edit where the misunderstood beast took a huge shit in Time Square. The directorial decision has been debated by cinephiles for almost a century, but I get it.

Milan Kundera describes the “untranslatable” Czech word Litost as a state of torment and helplessness caused by the sudden realization of one's own misery, usually provoked by comparing one’s self to someone else's ease, success, or status.

At this point, I’m ok with him choosing either one.

Trump: "If I'm in an electric boat and I see I'm going down and the water is pouring in, so I know I'm going to be electrocuted, but 5 yards away there are sharks. Do I take the electrocution or do I go swimming with the sharks? I'll take the electrocution."

Last night customer at the bar was chatting with me about wrestling and said “Member that one guy Randy Man Nacho Savage” and I almost immediately shed my human shell and ascended from this mortal coil.

Saw an article about new genetically designed pets. We don’t need no new kinds of pets, we have dogs. And for people that don’t like pets we got cats. Done. Finished. Move on.

I think one of the biggest misconceptions about Hell is that the Devil will torture and rape you for all eternity but odds are he’s not gonna have time for you at all. He’s gonna be super busy, and you will (fingers crossed) get alone time with him 1-2 times a millennia. At best.

A friends aunt spent the last month of her life planning every detail of her funeral and wake, which is lively, but for me I will use the last few weeks to find the cure for the disease that I’m dying of.

Suffering from true, unmitigated love is blunt-force trauma. A concussion of the heart, rarely subtle. I have bent my head to the cudgel only twice and never as deeply and as happily as I have with Atsuko.

None of me or my brothers believed in the tooth fairy, because we lived near an old ass decrepit cemetery and we each tried to put human teeth under our pillow and didn’t get shit, except all these trauma scars from seeing all them human teeth.

Did you know you can close the doors on the wardrobe after putting in or taking out items? At least one person reading this doesn’t know this fact despite an almost daily reminder.

A scary movie scene would be a door that is swinging open and closed & there’s nothing there and the guy is walking toward it and can’t see anyone inside and then one time it swings back & there’s a person with a terrible grin and then it swings again & they are closer, boy that would scare me!!!!!

Saw this T-shirt on a baby talking about “if Mom says no, ask Grandma!” . Was so close to telling the baby, “Or you could ask Science.” but they walked off too fast and the moment was lost.

Customer left the bar last night and immediately proceeded to throw up on the street. Didn’t even bend at the waist or make a single sound. Just standing straight at attention with his hands at his side throwing up just a beautiful perfect cylinder of puke. Was mesmerizing.

If was a zombie I wouldn’t eat your brains, I’d only eat the ugly thoughts That make you sad or fearful I’d take away bad memories And things that made you cry, If I was a zombie I wouldn’t eat your brains I’d try to leave you whole.

As anyone in publishing will tell you, women do not resist reading books by men, but men will often dismiss books by women. This is not a publishing problem or a failure to target men. It's a misogyny problem.

They turned their faces away from the howls and gnashing of teeth that would have forced them to face the reality of his fall. Honesty forces accountability, so they created their own truths. They refused to see the blood and hair on the floor of the madhouse.

I wish I believed in a god that answered prayers because with the amount of people asking for the same thing to happen as soon as possible, it couldn’t be ignored, and we’d all be free of that dipshit right now.

It must be so unbelievably exhilarating if you are Jason Vorhees and you’re just waiting patiently for a teenage camper to turn around and realize you were standing behind them the whole time!!!
