- Well, it's finally happened. I've found the perfect headstone. I'm so glad these two found each other.
- This is probably my fault.New Environmentally Friendly Burial Involves Having Your Dead Body Eaten By Wealthy German Man With Taste For The Exotic bit.ly/2CIKEgj
- Hope you are having a good week- I AM NOT. An update about our channel's violation of community guidelines (wait, really?), some big changes in my life, and what we all can come together to do about it (spoiler: probably nothing.) youtu.be/cN5hNzVqkOk

- YouTube comments.... a little bit of this, a little bit of that.
- Today in diseased millennial brain, the guy on the phone asked me for my "full social" and instead of giving him my social security number I said "you need, like....my instagram account?"
