You go to the zoo "one time" and all the chimps start copying you.
Chimps are sticking grass in their butts, seemingly as a fashion trend.

In 1972, a cat commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit. These kittens promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government they survive as soldiers of fortune.

Got my proof copy of "Into the GigaVerse" today. Cover looks great, back cover text got a bit wonky.

Cover of The Art of Myth-Direction by M. L. Tilford Prologue “And lo, they gathered at the appointed hour, bearing torches, dread, and absolutely no sense of self preservation.” — Summoning for Fun and Profit, Sixth Edition Amid the shadows of a moonless night, four hooded figures converged atop a jagged, windswept mountaintop, fueled by the kind of optimism that only denial and selective memory could provide. The cold was so biting it felt downright vindictive, as if the weather held a grudge against anyone foolish enough to venture this high. The tallest among them carried a tattered and charred tome bound in leather of dubious origin (certainly not human . . . probably). He cleared his throat with the gravitas of someone who hadn’t just tripped over a tree root on the way in. “Thanks for coming out tonight,” the Grand Harbinger of Doom began, his voice confident, like he had practiced talking in a mirror far too many times. “I hope everyone’s ready for some good old-fashioned summoning . . . and by ‘good,’ I mean better than last time.”

My daughter made me watch a movie called "Halloweentown" last night. Despite it being one of the dumbest movies I've ever seen, I have to give props to actor Robin Thomas who played the hell out of his role. Almost like he was expecting an Academy Award for it.
Campy Disney movie called Halloweentown features an old lady riding a broom and three kids standing together with their arms draped over each others shoulders.

I read this a while ago, but I never talked about it. This has to be the most screwed up book (in a good way) I've ever read. Dark Academia at its best.

Phoned it in this year. I raided my decorations for a trunk or treat. Only spent money on the candy.

Haha, wtf is this? Serious, no offense to Jesus or Kirk (neither of whom had any input on this). I feel like this may be misrepresenting the relationship the right wing believe the two had.
