“LOUD: Are you acquainted with Poppers? [dead silence and blank looks] Uh, you see, I have this current fixation about them and disco music. Not using them, but watching them in the act of being used. I was at a disco called 12 West the other night and when your record came on there was literally an explosion of snapping and popping, just like the Fourth of July.”

- Lance Loud of “An American Family” interviews Donna Summer, 1976.

Julie D’Aubigny was a 17th-century bisexual French opera singer and fencing master who killed or wounded at least ten men in life-or-death duels, performed nightly shows on the biggest and most highly-respected opera stage in the world, and once took the Holy Orders just so that she could sneak into a convent and bang a nun.

“We are committed to protecting the health of the American people, and while it’s not a perfect solution, allowing citizens to scoop up fistfuls of ointment from a giant communal jar would at least guarantee a certain minimal level of care,” said Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius.

YOU SHOULD PROBABLY JUST STAY IN THE CAR. THEY FOUND OUT THE STITCHES THEY USE WEREN’T FAIR-TRADE OR CONTAIN MODIFIED SOY OR SOMETHING SO THE ENTIRE STAFF WENT OUT LOOKING FOR NEW ONES.

WELL, EXCEPT FOR THE THREE THAT WENT TO MAKE PATCHES AND STICKERS ABOUT IT.

A COUPLE OF THEM WANTED COFFEE TOO, SO IT COULD BE A WHILE.
