google's not finding it but anyone else remember this 90s commercial where a little girl spills something and her dad just starts *screaming* at her and says something like "your mother, your TRUE mother, will be very displeased" and then it says Ruffles Light?

i made my signature garlic nutmeg glaze and now the fam is hurling, literally hurling, like absolutely *catapulting* their guts into next week and they're blaming ME like it's MY fault they can't appreciate a piquant beige gel that livens up hot dogs, omelets, bagels, you name it

PLEASE back my yakstarter so i can purchase 1 yak. ROI will be bonkers: a picture of me braiding the yak’s fur, a podcast of me talking to the yak about my problems, a coffee mug (not yak themed). gold tier donators will be visited by the yak late at night when the yak is hungry

Got the call I been dreading for 15 years: "We need your magic, man." It's funny how fast we can fall back into our bad old ways. Because we WANT to. And so tonight, Jenna's bachelorette party is gonna get a visit from the beefiest sex gandalf who ever waved a wand.

Brands are stealing and selling your data!! In fact just now a brand stole my last bit of data (my favorite kind of cereal: peat clusters) and sold it for $4 to a man named Jeff Luxury. Now I have no data and can finally die a peaceful empty shell.

since everyone's been asking, my nighttime routine is: rub gold bond into my gums, file my teeth, put in my moisturizing retainer, apply my syrup mask, carve a rune into my headboard to fend off sleep terrors, then play this phone game where you touch a lemur and watch an ad
