Will they be worth the read or do they deserve to be shredded, burned, and flushed into the municipal sewer system? Causing befuddlement for the poor workers on the other end wondering why pages of Princess Ai keep clogging up the filters.

Get ready to have triple vision. That’s like being drunk twice with one eye closed. We only ask that you try and take that same patience you might have when drunk as we go over this. Because it’s going to sound a little repetitive but this will have a payoff.

We want everyone to reach under your seats and pull out the old shoe box you find there. Within that box, there should be an old bit of newspaper. Unwrap that and you will find at least two popsicle sticks. Take those and carefully taste the bit of discoloration where the previous treat ended. Give those a quick taste and close your eyes. Congratulations. You are now a weirdo.

Do you remember that phase of the internet where everything was about pirates? Like everyone would mention when it’s talk like a pirate day and things like that. We go a little further back before all that with Cutthroat Island(1995). A movie you’ll probably see a whole lot on lists of biggest box office bombs. It and Show Girls killed the studio that made it.
