It is said that Gozer the Gozerian, an evil entity from another dimension, will one day destroy the world. Thankfully, this interdimensional terror has been thwarted both times it visited our world, proving once again that the ancient Hittites, Sumerians, and Mesopotamians were not possessed of what we might call “staying power.”
In any case, if you see a giant marshmallow man, or really any old deities, lumbering about, it’s best to duck and cover. Or cross the streams, which though usually the worst thing, occasionally is the only answer. Well, that and saturated fats.

Don’t assume dyslexia if someone threatens you with an evil spirit from the dog show.
"Every dog has his day," they used to say. Still, no one was quite prepared that morning Emperor Mister Pickles marched his army into town.

Honestly, that’s sort of a weakness since it’s such an obvious clue.

Seriously, son, this isn’t hard to figure out.

As I mentioned last week, never leave your instructions at “do something.” Be specific.
Him: You were supposed to do something about the groundhog under the deck.
Me: I did. I named him Lord Melbourne. He likes Cocoa Puffs.

Yet another example of when people aren’t provided with enough specifics. “Any objections” is pretty vague.

Also, don’t tell her to smile. Bitches don’t like being told to smile.
Make her smile. Bitches love smiling.
Oh, and maybe don't call her a bitch so much. Bitches don't really enjoy that.

Case in point.
She was like "why won't you ever hold my hand" & I was like "Jesus bitch, I've only got 2 hands, & these swords are for your protection."
