Oh hey I'm quoted in the History Channel talking about Stephen King! www.history.com/articles/ste...
"King writes about the world in which he is inhabiting in a very direct way, in a way that even though it's horror, even though it's fantastical, it's very specifically about the place that he's in,” says Daniel T. Kasper, English professor for the University of Texas at Arlington.

Here's a meal for 6 with what I would call the absolute basics. Have your guests bring either a dessert or a drink to share, and you're done!
Screenshot of a grocery list: canned gravy,instant mashed potatoes, cornbread stuffing, cranberry sauce. Screenshot of a grocery list. Two rotisserie chickens, Mac and cheese form the box, fried onions, cream of mushroom soup, green beans. A screenshot of the total, which is $32.30 with come coupons. Remember that even if you're hosting twice as many people, you won't have to spend twice as much money; economies of scale rapidly kick in.

Kevin is not a clown but this was my immediate thought.
Legs the gangster from the Simpsons looking at Krusty the Clown and Homer dressed as Krusty the Clown. He's about to say that he's seeing double--four Krustys!

Wikipedia is amazing.
In 2002 the mayor, Bertrand Delanoë, a socialist and the city's first openly gay leader, was stabbed during the first all-night, citywide Nuit Blanche (literally, White Night) festival when the doors of the long-inaccessible building were thrown open to the public. But Delanoë recovered and did not lose his zeal for access, later converting the mayor's sumptuous private apartments into a crèche (day nursery) for the children of municipal workers.[21][22]

sadiq @SadiqoJN Why do bash “dead-beat” dads for not being there for their kids but we never question if the child has bad vibes? Or if they’re just unpleasant to be around?
