I’m falling asleep but I’m sort of restless at the same time over the fact that I’m going to commission plushies of Stan and Ollie and Buster to take all over the place

My life, ladies and gentlemen

If I become famous as a writer, I’m going to make myself accessible to fans who need emotional support because I know how bad depression can be. I’d love to be able to help as many people as possible.

Even thinking about this is making me cry. My life was saved by a baseball player who doesn’t even know I exist, and if I’m ever in a position where people know my name I’m going to do my very best to be there for people who I don’t know personally, too.

“I got a fan letter from a young lady. It was a suicide note.
So I called her, and I said, “Hey, this is Jimmy Doohan. Scotty, from Star Trek.” I said, “I’m doing a convention in Indianapolis. I wanna see you there.”

I saw her — boy, I’m telling you, I couldn’t believe what I saw. It was definitely suicide. Somebody had to help her, somehow. And obviously she wasn’t going to the right people.

I said to her, “I’m doing a convention two weeks from now in St. Louis.” And two weeks from then, in somewhere else, you know? She also came to New York - she was able to afford to got to these places. That went on for two or three years, maybe eighteen times. And all I did was talk positive things to her.

And then all of the sudden — nothing. I didn’t hear anything. I had no idea what had happened to her because I never really saved her address.

Eight years later, I get a letter saying, “I do want to thank you so much for what you did for me, because I just got my Master’s degree in electronic engineering.”

That’s…to me, the best thing I’ve ever done in my life.”

wait you mean you don’t use the word ‘fortnight’ in america???

Wait what? Then what do they use?

they don’t have a word

what do you mean they don’t have a word what kind of uncivilised people are they??

the fuck is a fortnight

It’s a word for ‘two weeks’

it’s a night where the british build forts and wage war against eachother

I’m an American who uses the term fortnight. Then again, I’ve been told that my writing style is very British before, so…

you know what would be cool? a show about, like, vigilante Victorian prostitutes hunting down Jack the Ripper.

If it were a 1970’s grindhouse exploitation movie with ridiculous amounts of violence and an ending which involved Jack the Ripper exploding, I’d watch it.

… Call Quentin Tarantino.

I would totally draw this. THIS WOULD BE A GREAT COMIC.

Super Moon
— June 23, 2013

Be sure to look out for the Moon these next few months as it approaches Perigee, because the full moons during these times will appear exceptionally large. The Moon will be at its Perigee, or closest approach, in July 23 and it will reach full moon only a few minutes after it passes this point in its orbit.

These ‘super moons’ not only appear larger because they are physically closer but, combined with a full moon, the mind can play tricks on you to think they are much larger. This phenomena is called the Moon Illusion. Try to catch these full moons as they rise/set because the illusion works when there is an object in the foreground, like a tree, building or mountains.

Hi let’s talk about the rare and also not so rare games in my large video game collection and the importance of select games on the general timeline of gaming technology and also about why E.T. isn’t as bad a game as everyone says

Okay, everyone, let’s talk about the history of comedy and why double acts are adorable because comedy tells you a lot about a particular culture and what it considers acceptable at any given time and let’s really focus on why those double acts are so cute because double acts are the actual most adorable things in the world so there you go
