Boys and girls of every age, would you like to read something strange?

Warning: this is a very freaky book. The kind you don't take home to mother (but it will never let your spirits down)

Loving this season of The Bear, both in content and format. And I'm coming to believe that Tina may be the real hero of The Bear. If Carmy is Hong Kong Phooey, then Tina is Spot the Cat.

When The Bear drops "Haunted When the Minutes Drag" I thought 'Oh shit, that's bold' for this literally haunting song, that deftly drags 8 minutes long, has been used in film in such an unforgettable manner. The Bear did just fine, but won't let me forget Kevin Bacon in She's Having A Baby

I think I found the shirt I want to be buried in. Also, with an open casket, my eyes pried open, and this same grin on my face (—anyone know a good mortician? )
