Florence Henderson did THE LOVE BOAT, THE MUPPET SHOW, and THE PAUL LYNDE HALLOWEEN SPECIAL in the same year. It's what we call the '70s Guest Star Triple Crown. #Heistoween

I once heard Paul Stanley say "Some people are Hams. I'm the whole pig," and I feel like he must have learned that joke from Paul Lynde. #Heistoween
THE PAUL LYNDE HALLOWEEN SPECIAL features KISS right on the brink of their peak. DESTROYER came out seven months earlier, ROCK AND ROLL OVER was due out the next month, and they'd follow it all up with the legendary LOVE GUN in 1977.
And Paul Lynde right in the middle of all of it. #Heistoween

i read “ANTIFA” as “AFTRA” and still found this image 100% believable
Trump says he’s designating “antifa” a terrorist group and launching a probe into finding of antifa activities. The FBI has long said antifa doesn’t really have a centralized structure or leadership.

my high school yearbook used to do a "spring supplement" of all of the stuff that happened after the regular yearbook went to press. like spring sports, prom, band concerts, etc.....that's the OG DLC. i still hated sticking it in my yearbook, though.
