TENNIS TWINS: THE FINE ART OF HEADBUTTING



Andre Agassi uses his bald head to lightly politely knock on the door of the Connorses.
Jimmy Connors: hello? is anyone out there?
Andre Agassi: I'M FUCKING COMING IN!!!
Andre RAMS his bald head into the door splitting it in two along the splinter.
Jimmy: damn, i thought that door was metal. what's going on, buddy?
Andre RAMS his bald head into Jimmy's face.
Jimmy: that hurt, buddy. use your words not your shiny head.
Andre: see? see? you shoulda got a bald head when it was still in vogue. it was COOL to have long hair like you did in your '70s heyday but no more. now you don't have the WEAPON i have along with Billy Corgan. 
Telly Savalas: and me when i wasn't playing with dolls...
Andre: you can't protect yourself anymore, old man!!! the tennis gods have FORSAKEN you, sir!!!
Jimmy: if i go to the barbershop and chop it up with the fellas, talk it out with Kobe, will you stop all this?

Andre starts to cry, the tears go UP onto the top of his bald head settling like a little bird's nest.
Andre: you stole Steffi from me, stole her out from under me, you stole my girl.
Jimmy: nah, how could i? i don't drive a Lambo. i don't have courtside Lakers seats in my wallet. it was just a fling with Steffi Graf, it was just sex, no feeling. no feeling in my extremities. it was German sex, completely passionless, you know how it is.
Andre: sorry, man. did i cause blood on your handsome face?
Jimmy: i don't bleed anymore. ever since they banned it at Wimbledon.
Andre: i feel so lost without Brooke. that's what this is really about, i couldn't care less about Steffi Graf, she was just the replacement for Brooke.
Jimmy: yeah i understand, i feel ya.
Andre: Brooke and i were supposed to last 30 years in marriage, have 9 kids in wedded bliss like Tom Green and Drew Barrymore in a Sonoma camper.
Jimmy: i don't know that you're man enough to handle a bodacious woman like Brooke Shields. for starters, she's taller than you. what is this really about? possessions, right? not love. if you hadn't been a numbnuts and kept Brooke's Friends trophies.
Andre: i didn't!!!.........well i did, sorta. i kept the COUCH, man, cuz PIVOT is the ONLY funny thing that has ever happened on Friends, it's the only funny Friends. and Schwimmer and i are tight, i promised i'd protect his sticky sofa and he'd grant me a shikibuton stay at his crashpad in the '90s.

Brooke Shields: you never broke me, Andre. we didn't grow together, Andre, i wanted to keep Mr. Pickles as our family dog and you wanted no pets. a family can't survive without the family pet!!!
Andre Agassi: no it's that Mr. Pickles is Satan. he's literally Satan.
Brooke: why didn't you keep your long hair, Andre? you used to look cool like Jimmy Connors...

YouTube channel: everybody's first production company...

Doryce: i like it when the sun spits in my face. when it's spitting rain and the sun is out, a spitting sunshower, sunshine spit.

Brad Pitt: well Dracula DID come to Transylvania aboard a ship...
Claudia: but we don't talk about Dracula...

Backroad Truckers on The Weather Channel: of course there's one midget, one blonde woman, and one woman with glasses because Velma really is actually a great show.

slow food, slow flowers: because Valentine's Day is on the short bus this year.

Boc: if you see an old man doing the electric stairs at the gym at 7:30AM in the morning, i guarantee you he's an army general. i never said WHICH army...

seagull: we have our own version of hydroplaning, we slide off the 45-degree-angled roofs at The Barnyard...

Mark Hapka: HAPKA!!! mark your yoda, i am Mark your Yoda, mark my words, mark my Yoda words...

Michael Weiss: so there's no normal person on Instagram...
Julia Ioffe: ...
Julia Ioffe: including yourself...

The Pirates of Dark Water.
Ren: we walk like the Scooby-Doo gang...
Tula: um, can we stall the noble adventure for one Saturday night? i wanna go to my senior prom...

Red Lobster: it's cool for a while. the lobsters tell you things. but you soon realize it's a dead-end job like everything else...
Tula: yes. the only cool thing you get to do there is that credit-card imprinter you push left to right, that big chunk plastic block...

GNC: you wanna make a GCP? a Game-Changing Play? drink an inordinate amount of GNC powder.
Kurt Warner: ...
Jim Harbaugh: multitudes of powder...

Burger King Million Dollar Topping: we had to do SOMETHING to compete with McDonald's Monopoly. we tried Burger King Uncle Wiggily in the '80s...
Pepsi Number Fever: ...

Ninja Kamui: the cause? lack of friendships...

Ninja Kamui: the dark side of organized crime? there's a light side?...

Persona 3 Reload commercial: not Timothee Chalamet...
Timothee Chalamet: it's pronounced Tim-o-TAY...

Bob Marley movie: Rated PG-13 for marijuana smoke THROUGHOUT...

When Calls the HeartSomewhere in Time in TV form...
Superman: what could have been. maybe if i spin the Earth a few times, like a top...

Teva Loft: yeah i'm the next Brad Pitt, mark my words.
Tom Cruise: a messy Brad Pitt.
Teva Loft: no i'm not gonna be a fire-eater when i grow up, that's not cool, mahalo, not funny. i'm a laid-back Hawaii surfer but my hang-loose has a Lestat claw on it... 
Zack Morris: even I went from serene to mean...

Vince Lombardi trophy: what is this? WWE?...

The Outer Limits: don't you love how we force a sex scene into every episode even when it's completely implausible and ridiculous? that's what makes the sex so HOT...

Jennifer Beals: what a feeling. it seems Flashdance is the ONLY universally accepted and beloved film that EVERYONE has to do a riff on in their expensive commercial...

Jimmy Connors wipes away the tears on Andre Agassi's bald head by rubbing that bald head so hard it starts to SQUEAK.
Chris Evert: i love how you calmed your friend just now. you soothed him down.
Jimmy: i smoothed him down.
Chris: you brought him back from the ledge. on the other side of the tennis net as the case may be.
Jimmy: Andre's a big teddy bear once you get to know him. don't let his scowly face fool you, that's tennis determination. i give him a few squeezes in his soft stomach and he begins to SQUEAK...
Chris: that's hot. how you handled Andre Agassi like that. an aggressive Andre Agassi, how you manhandled Andre's emotions like that. that's hot to me. you haven't been hot to me in 20 years. but i can't shake the feeling, is this a fluke? is this a one-time thing or have you really CHANGED?...

Cotard: i shall help you get wood, brother.
Codrus: that's disgusting.
the two monks fly to the monastery and back in one moment. Cotard builds the ship hull.
Minster: it's not floatable!!! will it float? hell no!!!
Codrus: what's going on? SPEAK, blind hermit with the stanky diaper.
Ben Gunn: you see, sea brethren, that wood was from a monastery that burned down in a fire in an act of anti-Catholic arson. there be bad juju in that wood. see The Pirates of Dark Water for model...
Minster: hey are there any minga melons onboard this yacht?
Tula: are you referring to my tits?

Tula: can you believe i'm 17 years old? yet they draw me like a 35-year-old woman. aren't you curious about my backstory?
Niddler: i'm curious about eating. apparently i don't need medical attention as long as my monkeybird wings can fly.
Tula: i was a tavern wench who was BORED AS FUCK. land SUCKS, water is where it's at. maple-syrup water. those Red Lobster waitress dresses were humiliating, exposed, short, and tight.
Niddler: hey you still got the Bloomin' Onion that's a minga melon?
Tula: seasonal. all our lobsters arrive dead in the boiling water by that Dune sea serpent. with Takol as a chaser. get it? tackle? as in it will tackle your cough.
Ben Gunn: when you look up Takol the cough syrup on the internet, there are no pictures of it, that's not a good sign...

Niddler: can you believe i was ever mean? turns out i was just hungry...

the monk yacht crosses the Antarctic Sea whilst taking on water and sinking.
Nima Sarikhani: yeah my photo of the polar bear, that's the polar bear from Lost. humans have gotten so complacent about global warming they need to vegetate in the dreamworld of a TV show to hibernate to avoid reality.
Spags's wife: my husband Spags will CRUSH the Niners offense with his wacky defense. it's preordained. by The Pope herself!!! we got married at The Vatican...

Minster: and people call ME monster. Dracula owes me five bucks and my fob back for that cotton candy... 

Rockapella: Hanson's song "MmmBop" sounds exactly like our "Carmen Sandiego" song. we're okay with this, we're honored by this.

Lyle Lovett: i'm on a boat...

KAY Jewelers: i get to love you.

Lexus: a delivery helado ice-cream-cart WALL-E bot that stalls in the middle of the intersection is like a Lexus without a cupholder...

Jen R: hey did you notice anything weird when we were skiing down that Mammoth mountain?
me: no.
Jen R: a big-ass MOOSE was running down that hill after us. Moose Mammoth Mountain.
moose: don't worry, i'm the moose from Northern Exposure, i'm a harmless intellectual.

rat: when there's been torrential wind and rain like this, i come out to play. not in the sewers, at The Barnyard in your soup. please don't exterminate me, i can be helpful to you. i can help you with that snap-on plastic cutter on the edge of that big-ass Kirkland 3000-pound box of Stretch Tite saran wrap you blew your load on at Costco.
Costco: we don't ask for your wallet, we ask for your wad.

Player: i'm actually Captain N from that '80s Nintendo cartoon...
Robin Williams: Good Will Hunting is technically an '80s movie...

Jen R: weather radar heals a broken heart.

George Washington in 1776: a lot of shit is going down where i live, but at least the world doesn't have to worry about global warming. humans are smart enough AT THIS TIME to not let things get out of hand. we all recognize the dire urgency here. the time to act is NOW...

Mr. Maldark: there's a difference between the 3 hours of Mr. Holland's Opus and the 3 hours of the Ryan Gosling Blade Runner. i can't. i can't do Mr. Holland's Opus, i can't show it to my students in my class, it's too long and boring...

Jack Tripper: what have i been doing? i became a doctor. i tried to help troubled teen Terry McGinnis...
Terry McGinnis: not like the beer. i don't drink. i helped MYSELF by becoming Batman...

The Outer Limits "Stranded".
Mentos: what does it mean when you call a girl a Freshmaker?
Daniella Evangelista: no it's Froshmaker, as in i, a senior cheerleader, make a freshman boy's whole year by glancing a look in his general direction. accidentally touching him in the cafeteria.
Dave Grohl: cafeteria coffee is the best...
the ending: remember, kids, The Outer Limits ALWAYS goes dark...

Amazing Stories "The 21-Inch Sun".
Robert Townsend: a 21-inch sun NOW would be a ring light. are lightbulbs 21 inches? are spotlights 21 inches? hey look, it's the same cemetery from Night Shift. the moral of this story is if you have a plant ghostwriter, do not go to ONE party with human friends...

Jen R: rum on the run. chugging rum on the runs. the ski runs. i get the runs...

President Biden in the documents case: for once my old age was a BENEFIT for me!!!...

Leslie Sbrocco: i look EXACTLY like your Aunt Cork. with a COMPLETELY different personality set. i got a great set of personalities...

LeVar Burton: you know, if i was hosting Jeopardy, after each episode i'd have Ken Jennings go down to Skid Row in L.A. and do a book drive...

Melissa Etheridge: no i am not how Taylor Swift is gonna look when she's old. I am the most famous female musician who's also a Chiefs fan!!! i was doing this stuff before T Swift was BORN!!!
Taylor Swift: imma rock star...

Boc: when it's cold out i wear my hoodie. my hoodie has pockets i put my hands in to keep warm. the gas station thinks i'm concealing a weapon. my choices are freeze or get shot to death.
Doctor Who: there's a queer London lamppost in the middle of the stone stairs, it's very Doctor Who. i'm the black Doctor Who you never saw cuz you stopped watching...

Madame Pons: those spherical psychedelic candles from the '90s, they're making a comeback!!! they're at LUSH!!! that's LUSH not kush...

Eye Luggage: Interview with the Vampire and go.
Anne Rice: okay so this is Twilight but REALISTIC, kids...
Anne Rice: but it is a better love story than Twilight. being a vampire SUCKS, BOTH meanings. it's nothing but eternal existential anguish. and a little physical pain. at the end of it you just want to DIE.
Leslie Sbrocco: it's like Love Story says, "immortality is just another form of Hell." Love Story comes on next after me on PBS...

Anne Rice: i'll be honest, when they said Tom Cruise was playing Lestat, i was NOT HAPPY. deeply skeptical. there was NO WAY Tom Cruise could pull off such a deeply complex character. but they took off his leather jacket, took the collagen out of his cheeks, and he became Lestat in all his brooding glory. i was pleasantly surprised.
Tom Cruise: i was already cynical from my life. i already had the creepy laugh...

Tom Cruise: so how do you want me to play this cool vampire guy?
Anne Rice: just be Gambit from X-Men...

Anne Rice: this was a '70s book!!! that explains so much. that explains all the vests...
Winona Ryder: 1994 was the period of the Decadent Luxurious Goth, the goths who looked like Liberace. Dracula was big. not in the pants, i mean as a phenomenon again. although MY Dracula was a short man...
Anne Rice: i'm available to be at ANYONE's wedding now. i'll be your wedding guest...

San Francisco: the best city. home to Carmen Sandiego ACME agents and where this interview with a vampire takes place.
River Phoenix: okay let's take a moment. I was supposed to play Christian Slater's part, i would have been RESPLENDENT in this role!!! i mean who would have made a more beautiful vampire man than ME?!!! bite me. please. i'm scared of dentists. i died before shooting began. which is ironic, cuz i became a vampire in real life...

Brad Pitt: yeah so this movie SUCKED for me. this was the worst experience i've ever had as an actor in my life. the set was miserable. we could only shoot at night so i had to live as a real vampire. i never saw sunlight for 4 months. that wasn't white makeup on my face, i really WAS that pallid. didn't eat shit the whole time, just some Little Debbie Mardi Gras cakes. i'm standing around farting while Tom Cruise chews up ALL the scenery. even the silk drapes. i tried to like Tom but i could ever tell when he was bullshitting me. could never tell with that peculiar knave. he told me to my face that he was in love with me. he tried to recruit my mom into Scientology. and then there was the time my landlord kicked me out of my mansion shack on Bourbon Street and i had to crash at Tom's place on his couch.
Tom Cruise: do not place your dirty body on that couch. that is Oprah's couch. you may sleep when you're dead.
Trent Reznor: gotta pay your rent, this is the Manson house.

Brad: that's a good line, "I would have given anyone the invitation, but my jailer for life was a prick vampire", about my death and getting turned.
Boc: okay for the gays, i just gotta say, Tom Cruise biting into the neck of Brad Pitt is like the #1 most-heralded gay scene OF ALL TIME in film history. it gets us excited.
Brad: i don't need glasses anymore!!! hey is that stone statue of an angel supposed to be giving me the stink eye like that?
Doctor Who: yes.

Tom: you're dying, we all do it.
Anne: here's the thing, vampires aren't supposed to die. you can't kill vampires. and yet vampires are dying all over the place in this film. it was just too depressing to have the vampires go on living FOREVER...

Brad: life sucks for me. i mean as my character with the death of my wife and child on a Spanish Louisiana plantation. 
Tom: it'll be worse if i turn you. eternal life ain't all it's cracked up to be...
Brad: this is a silly Dragon Ball Z battle we're engaged in. i should have just joined the Marines...

old dauphine with poodles: now I am a madame. i'm too old for you, boy.........but keep biting my neck anyway, young man. i could be your grandmother. i haven't been this excited since i was a schoolgirl. i forgot what frisson was...
Brad: sex throes, death throes, same difference.
Tom: this is the first gilf porn...
vampire Brad: i'm still human. I REFUSE to drink human blood!!! rat blood tastes like Kool-Aid.

Brad: is New Orleans better now that it's the United States?
Trent Reznor: New Orleans wasn't cool until I lived there...
Judge Harold T. Stone: ...
Melissa Rauch: people think i'm Harry Anderson's daughter...
Tom: you gotta admit, this is an INGENIOUS idea i had. you're lonely so if i get you an ETERNAL DAUGHTER, you'll have a FAMILY. family is everything, even for vampires. and unlike humans, you'll have a FAMILY FOREVER...

Kirsten Dunst: what's with the Shirley Temple curls? SO much crushed velvet on set. they had to find a young child with SAUCINESS to say those linereadings. this part didn't traumatize me.........much.........i was able to exorcise my demons from this movie when i went on to do that Lars von Trier Melancholia film...
Kirsten Dunst: i suddenly was drawn to the dark, not the eternal sunshine...

Robin Williams: okay this is really becoming a COMEDY now with all the people getting killed willy-nilly for food. not a DARK comedy, just a comedy.

Tom: hey look at me, i'm playing the piano like Trent Reznor. what happens if i drink the blood of a dead person?...
Marilyn Manson: ...
Marilyn Manson: Dead Blood, that should have been one of my album titles...
Claudia: i'm never gonna be a full-figured woman!!!
Tom: a real woman with ASSETS.........and HOLD the reaction on my face. did you see how i smiled there? that was the goofy Tim Heidecker smirk.

Brad: the natives are getting restless. they suspect i am The Devil. i'll burn this plantation house for them, i've become a hero to the slaves. besides, the architecture on this mansion is SO LAST YEAR. hey how'd you survive?
Tom: Swamp Thing raised me as his child. do you have any Neutrogena face cream?

Antonio Banderas: do you think i'm a good actor?
Brad: yeah but there's no nudity on stage, that's the rule, so what are you gonna do?
Antonio: i save all cats. i don't need skin cream, i'm naturally olive. Laura Esquivel sun. people who watch my show change their religion after...
the three monks: great production values so we're Mormons now...

Stephen Rea: *crying* i like men........okay? i like men. THAT's why i'm a vampire, i was shunned and outcasted for liking men...

Claudia: is this the back of a theater or a honeycomb for a giant bee? it looks like cheese.
Brad: who is the God of us vampires?
Antonio: our God has a great sense of humor.
Brad: what is the purpose of being a vampire?
Antonio: to have some fun, no?

Brad: you can read minds? what am i thinking right now?
Stephen Rea: Dorm Invasion makes sex hot again.

Madeleine holding Claudia's hand in the sewer: look up, child. look through the grate at the sun. the sun heals.........let's just pretend we're having a beach day...

Brad with torch in hand: i'm gonna burn this place down. THEATRE IS DEAD!!! that's what all the critics say...

Brad: hey man, why are you in a bad '90s rap video? with the police helicopter spotlight?
Tom: why do we have to drink blood? who makes the rules? why can't vampires just drink Southern sweet tea?

Christian Slater: make me a vampire.
Brad: are you stupid? are you dense? what's wrong with you? have you learned NOTHING? do you have ears? did you go to remedial school?
Christian: i wanna be cooler than i already am. my name is Christian and i'm a devil.
River Phoenix: you a cheeky little devil.

Axl Rose: "Sympathy for the Devil" was the last song we did as a COLLEGIAL cooperative harmonious full unit of Guns N Roses before we went our separate ways forever...
Kurt Cobain: i NEVER left you, Axl...
Slash: Axl insisted on the harp...

Tom: at least i'm giving you a choice.
Christian pressing play on his tape recorder: who hurt you?
Tom: David Foster Wallace. this man never gave me a choice.........i had to sit through him reading to me all of Infinite Jest in the chamber room...

Mardith: i get the SEXUAL nature of a vampire tearing into your flesh. but that's the thing, it's that LAST GREAT FUCK before you die...
Eye Luggage: i'm okay with going out like that.
Dirg: what's up with Tom Cruise's silver CLAW he uses to pierce his women? can i get one of those?
Laertus: for Inspector Gadget only to fight Dr. Claw with.
Penny: Uncle Gadget is into BDSM. you should see all the metal tools he has in his house. 
Inspector Gadget: go go Gadget SINKING!!!

at the screening.
Roger Ebert: i thought this was gonna be about Hiroshima...

at the screening, Oprah Winfrey walks out.
Oprah: i will not contribute to Satanism. that's not what my show is about, i ain't Jerry Springer, i'm about LIGHT. having said that, this movie DID get me excited. don't worry, Gayle King will watch the rest and post her review at her movie blog in the morning. Gayle King is intimately knowledgeable about vampires, she's been sucking off the teat of my fame her whole life...

Oprah: g'night folks.

me by the fire: happy weekend, my babies. TOMORROW: here's the thing with Panera. if i get the ham sandwich and the cardboard bowl of chicken noodle soup, it just tastes like a soup and sandwich, what makes Panera so special? OH MY FUCKING ZEUS MCDONALD'S IS ON DOORDASH NOW!!!...

NEVER STOP HARBAUGHING


 



Jen R and i are at Mammoth, California inside Cork and Russ's log cabin. 
Jen R: well that was QUITE the late Christmas celebration with your folks.
me: they're my relatives, I am the weird uncle in the family.
Jen: I scared your Aunt Cork off her own cabin.
me: she's as straitlaced as they come, your quirkiness is like sewer water to them.
Jen: i've never seen a cantilever snow fort before, that was special. i think i entered a room i wasn't supposed to be in upstairs, i ran the palm of my soft hand over the blue lightning mattress on that California King bed and it started RIPPLING like a gentle ocean breeze. that was their WATERBED, huh? the ROLLING GYRATIONS of that thing, next to what has to be the last genuine bearskin rug left in the world. waterbeds are so '70s, i LOVE them.
me: waterbeds scare me. how is anyone supposed to sleep on one with all that kicking around?
Jen: it's the motion of the ocean. 
me: but isn't the ocean frozen into snow right now?
Jen: i've often wondered what it'd be like to fuck on a waterbed. supposedly when you reach water coitus Sally Field and Burt Reynolds come to you in a smoke vision above the bed and demonstrate by making love to each other Free Love-style in the back of that orange Dukes of Hazzard car. 
Burt Reynolds: you reach coitus FASTER.
Sally Field: you cum faster because you're already IN MOTION, you know?

Jen: are you driving?
me: is that a joke?
Jen takes the Mr. T TR3 Dudley Moore Arthur automobile and vehicles it round all the ice-craggy bends of the mountaintop.
me: this is worse than a rollercoaster!!!
Jen: we're almost home free. i applied a ludicrous amount of lubricant TR3 body-finish car wax i bought at Body Glove on this puppy before we left so we should be fine edging corners. i trust T.
me: applied liberally, i feel better now. what does TR3 stand for?
Mr. T in the back of the luxury sedan: Three Point Turn.

Jen: okay we're here.
me: you look ADORABLE in your snow gear. with the pink fluffy mittens and pink fluffy knitcap.
Jen: huh, it's February but there's NO SNOW ON THE MOUNTAINS!!! but we can still have fun, right? just get the rusty tin skis out of the back-window of the trunk from our Pink Floyd 4x4 and we'll ski down this mountain DRY.
me: you're right, that WAS fun. my skis started SPARKING AND SKIDDING there at the end near the foot of the mountain but i held on.
Jen: did you remember to form a PIE with your skis to stop? i wish the ski lift would have a donut pillow on it, my butt cheeks on cold steel is the OPPOSITE of a waterbed. i was so WORRIED about you during the Pineapple Express.
me: more a nuisance than anything, staring at the four walls having nothing to fucking do for two days instead of a mudslide entering my kitchen. hydroplaning or mud coffins. but make no mistake, boredom is a CRISIS, boredom is real, boredom can kill.
Jen: i turned on my transistor ham radio, my high-school AV Club weather radio to get the latest atmospheric-river reports. i cried as i turned the knobs and my ears turned red under my oversize DJ headphones.
me: that is so HEARTWARMINGLY ADORABLE that you cared about me like that. that i am in fact one of your friends. 

Jen and i on the ski lift.
Jen: here's a Polaroid of me in high school. with my two friends. that's me on the left.
me: that is ADORABLE, you are freaking ADORABLE, i love that you pointed out to me who was you. you're the smiling brunette amongst the sour blondes. the one that looks like you. your friend on the left looks like that girl from Full House. hey remember overhead projectors?
Jen: that's how i learned algebra!!! the teacher would always be looking up and asking the stone-silent room "is this thing straight? fuck my life" with the clear silver paper.
me: and the switch of the markers.
Jen: she'd use a red marker which would smear the projector square. she'd switch to green and then blue, the smear would get worse. i thought math was supposed to be done in pencil but it ended up being done in black marker.
me: i need one of those battery-operated hotplates for the next storm. i bought 10 tin cans of soup BEFORE the storm i couldn't use, had to divide a GIANT 7-Eleven hoagie instead. amongst myself. cold nachos with cold cheese only.
Jen: it's always sunny in California. with 70 mph winds.
me: my birthday's coming up, jus sayin.
Jen: you want a hotplate instead of a 69? 
me: i want a 69 ON a hotplate, the hotplate being you. 
Jen: we got one more stop. not on THIS ski lift, OUT of the ski lift. for an old friend's advice...

the Pope: i need to get a Tibetan spaniel. has a pope ever had a pet? an official Vatican Pet? the Vatican Dog?
Tibetan spaniel: i'm curious like a cat...
Lancashire Heeler: i bit Gordon Ramsay's balls off. they were tasty like a sweet wine reduction. 
Gordon Ramsay: kibbles 'n my bits.

Senku: you had no idea moonshine was actually just corn whiskey until you learned it from me...

Ear Horn: why do people say being single is a blast? being single is a DESPERATE TIME in one's life, there is NO GUARANTEE you'll EVER meet anyone EVER again...

Jim Cantore: we here at The Weather Channel like to dispel myths for you. if you wear a hat on your head, will you REALLY be protected from the snow? turns out your inertial internal body temperature actually DOESN'T REALLY get warmer if you wear a hat. it's actually GOOD for your body if you're out in freezing conditions for like 4 hours. Mammoth Lakes, California doesn't exist, all the lakes are ice ponds...
Prince: ...

Aunt Cork: that's me in the pink tanktop in the Colosseum crowd watching and cheering on all those tournament-arc battles in One Piece...
Aunt Cork: call me your animated Aunt Cork in your favorite anime.........which is not like my straitlaced personality at all.
