MAD DOCTOR’S LOVE SONG I shall be tied forever to the dead, Reanimated flesh, life born again. (Because I dreamed you up inside my head.) The stupid, pesky villagers see red, With pitchforks and with torches barging in: I shall be tied forever to the dead.

A slab, it’s true, is not a featherbed; They see my lab and think me quite insane. (Because I dreamed you up inside my head.) Our bond will never die, expire, or fade, Though you flee, hunted, through the world of men: I shall be tied forever to the dead.

I fancied you’d return to me and said, “In time they all will call you by my name.” (Because I dreamed you up inside my head.) I should have made a dracula instead; At least by sunup they return again. I shall be tied forever to the dead. (Because I dreamed you up inside my head.)

'Pumpkin Spice Time' dates to 1500s. 'Why are there Christmas Decorations on the shelves already? Season' came about in 1153. 'Oh God I love my kids but thank God they're not in the house all day anymore' popularized in 13 BCE

'Autumn' entered English in the 1300s. "The fall of the leaves" was shortened to 'fall' in the 1600s.

The IOC told me crocodiles keep eating its athletes so I asked how many athletes they have and they said they just go to the list of alternates and get new athletes afterwards so I said it sounds like they're just feeding Olympic athletes to crocodiles and then the color commentators started crying.

Now having a midlife existential crisis about not doing anything interesting with my midlife existential crisis.

Poker, a few years back. He went all-in with four of a kind. I can still picture that smug grin falling from his face when I revealed my straight flush. Biggest pot I ever won. I do kind of miss going outside in the daytime, though.

Name your fav game with a vampire.

A lot of great roles being mentioned today, but I also think he's underrated as the perfect evil scientist Dr. Anton Sevarius in Gargoyles. A memorable villain on a show filled with memorable villains.

every billionaire & tech mogul, they all want to be adored & celebrated without doing the things Dolly did with a fraction of the power & money. What she had, she gave away. I'm sure she was comfortable (& that's good!). But she just relentlessly helped. It's not that difficult. Love. Care. Help. 💚🌸

Because if there's one thing we know God really appreciates, it's building a tower as tall as possible.

A group of more than 130 people in Barcelona gave a unique welcome to Pope Leo XIV on Tuesday night by forming a human tower. So-called “castells” are a unique feat of equilibrium and teamwork that represent identity and culture to Catalonia. bit.ly/4ew4nzg #APPhoto by Alessandra Tarantino
