Enjoyed rewatching Stalker, although the bit during the opening scene when Stalks & his Mrs are lying awake in bed as a passing train makes that bloody glass rattle around the table will always be really annoying- just stick a bit of paper towel under it or something for God’s sake people!

Just remembered the Bears scored 25 points in the fourth quarter of a playoff game against the Packers. Still unbelievable.

Just realized I haven't done this since I moved here from the birdsite, so since you're home for the Holidays right now, I'm gonna share one of the pivotal moments in the making of the #Dirtbombs. This is a thing I used to do once a year, so if you've seen it, sorry
