Crossed paths with a young lady on her mobile. As she walked past all I caught was: "Oh I know! So many people in my department have been bitten."
Appears the Zombie Apocalypse has commenced.
Do What Ya Need To Do.

TV is infinitely better when I watch with my hand down my pants. Honestly.
The same way you instinctively grip the car door when your driver takes a sharp turn, when suspense heats up like Jiffy Pop...good gravy, the hand goes down.

Eating #TacoBell is like swallowing a ticking time bomb...you’re not sure how much time you have left; if you can start something significant at work or just wait for the inevitable.
This time no hero is cutting the red wire at 0:01. Boom!

Back to the laborious land of people, passwords and ugh...pants. #DownWithPants
Though...my Poop Schedule is still on Vacation Time.
I may struggle silently but deadly but I doubt I struggle alone.

People will put stock in psychic predictions but reject the crystal ball prophesy of the best #scifi.
Science fiction is the fuel your imagination needs to change the future: Hate The Fate.

Not bad for somebody who surprisingly didn't get visited by 3 ghosts last night.)

Considering how well The Sign Guy is doing during the Zombie Apocalypse of Walking Dead Keira Knightley was not wise in rejecting his love. Damn Girl.

The stress of holiday parties comes from trying to hold in all your farts until all the pretty girls have left the room.

A #FlashbackFriday to seeing the #ATeam Van on the 401.
I completely lost my cool.
I was so nervous...I wanted to inch closer to see who was driving. I hated the scenes where anybody other B.A. was driving The Van.
Also...does that mean somebody in Toronto has a problem where no one can help?

Happy Thanksgiving to you wacky Americans!!!
You're so weird for having it in November but whatever.
I don't even get the whole Columbus Day Mattress Sale thing...that connection makes no sense, how does Columbus discovering the Americas equate with mattresses?
Only curious, not judging! Well...

The day after JFK was assassinated at 5:16 p.m. on Saturday Nov 23, 1963; #DoctorWho's first episode was broadcast.
Mostly kids checked out this strange man & his odd TARDIS.
A children’s TV series kicked off with An Unearthly Child. Over 60 years later that’s all they’ve been gloriously producing

What are the qualifications to getting a sandwich named after you? I'm talking like a hearty sandwich at a classic NYC deli.
Do you have to perform miracles?
Anybody can get a star on the Hollywood walk of fame. Oh but not everybody is gonna get a sandwich named after them.
This I deeply believe.
