1.) The top food critic in Houston should get the title “The Houston Gastronome”.

2.) Decency is not a static trait, even to call it a virtue is to oddly diminish it. Decency is a muscle, a muscle you build up over time and maintain through constant use, lest it atrophy away. If there’s a such thing as a soul, it’s probably like that too.

3.) Did anyone else sing along to the “Flintstones Vitamins” jingle “We are fission kids, ten million strong… and glowing”? Was this just me? It’s slightly possible I was a weird child.

4.) I like to sing Seth Rogen’s name like the theme to the old He-Man cartoon. “Ro-GEN… dun-dun-duh-DUN-d-d-dun… Ro-GEN!”

5.) You can’t “earn” someone else’s love. That’s how how this works. The only person whose love you can earn is your own. But definitely do that, earn your own love of self.

6.) Not everyone would consider writing an entire story about the doomed Magneto-Rogue-Gambit love triangle to get around to a “Magnus and Steal” pun but, y’know, I’d consider it.

7.) Not everyone would try to pitch a movie about Paul Rudd hunting a rabbit around a shopping centre so that you could give it the title “Paul Rudd: Mall Fudd” but I mean, it’s just a lack of vision to not.

8.) “Trumpery” was clearly coined by a time-traveler as a joke to go off a couple of centuries later.
