1.) If you’re going to own a strap-on, at least name it “Greatness” so you can make jokes about having Greatness thrust upon you.

2.) It is very very easy to say “the heart wants what the heart wants”, it is much harder and much much more important to be able to tell your heart “heart, you are being a dumbass, I need to learn how to want something actually good for me”.

3.) On the one hand, I’m glad Drew Carey went from dangerously obese to very slightly chonk, that is probably wonderful for his health. On the other hand, he now looks like a weird Uncanny Valley CGI version of himself and it’s unnerving.

4.) You remember The Cinnamon Challenge, get ready for The Silmarillion Challenge where you have to try and read all of the supplemental materials the Tolkien Estate released to squeeze a little more money, without clawing your eyes out from boredom.

5.) In a world where the bastards have stacked the deck, good cannot be simply passive. Good doesn’t just happen in a world like this. It takes work, it takes thought, it takes rushing rivers of compromise and consensus building to beat the little Ragnaroks back another day.

6.) When the Queen pees, is that a Royal Wee?

7.) Without a doubt, the weirdness name possible for a porno spoof is “PADDLIN’ ALBRIGHT” and is for people with a Secretary of State fetish, a fetish that is probably very rare but must exist somewhere on the internet because that’s what the internet does.

8.) Schrodinger’s Paladin: smite? smite not? who knows.
