I named my fists Don't Tuck Your Thumb and Knee to the Groin Is a Better Option because I didn't take those self-defense classes for nothin'.

Saw it at midnight movies at least 10x in my impressionable teen years; 1st time was at the Strand in San Francisco. Water spraying everywhere, hot dogs flying.
Deepened (& tested) friendships. Vastly expanded my definition of acceptable adult dress/ behavior. Made me a lifelong fan of Tim Curry.

So you could work with your kid to come up with stocking stuffers for your adult partner and just WATCH their surprise when there's something unexpected in their stocking. It's a hoot!

When my folks grew up and moved away, my siblings and I visited Christmas Eve. We sneaked stockings under their pillows. Canned oysters, pate, caviar, mustard, candies, an airline bottle of whiskey, a wind-up ET toy, nail polish, lip balm, a quarter, a tangerine, and a small bundle of sticks

I was honest with my 6yo kid. We were in Target passing toy section. "Olivia says Santa Claus isn't real."
I said, "Dad & I get to play Santa Claus. Now that you know, you get to be Santa Claus too, and not tell anyone, because it's a fun secret."
(trembling voice) "So he'll still come?"
"Yes!" 🎅

Honestly this looks too friendly and youthful, and I see a lot of room for a more accurate portrayal. Please give skin the texture of a half-dried tangerine, dull the eyes, remove shine from hair, slump the shoulders, and show more tensile strain at collar.

Accuracy matters.

I love the Blob(s)!

Slither (James Gunn director, starring Nathan Fillion, Elizabeth Banks, and Michael Rooker), is a wonderful gross-out horror comedy. Definitely Blob-adjacent and highly recommended!

It always goes back to the source. President Trump is unfit for office.
