In 1693, a Manila Galleon full of goods and bound for Acapulco, wrecked on the coast of what is now Oregon, never reaching its destination. A craftsman from the Nehalem-Tillamook and Clatsop peoples made this arrowhead (in the Tillamook Pioneer Museum) out of Qing dynasty porcelain from the wreck.

I am absolutely losing it at Dropoutโ€™s Gastronaut. Truly amazing and insane premise. You get to see what a real person being a judge would be like: overeating delicious food, not knowing what a term or technique is, getting super excited. Totally insane challenges.

I am ๐Ÿ‘€ at this language. While the court resisted outright acknowledging forced labor as involuntary servitude, here it is walking riiigghht up to the line of making a 13th Amendment argument for abortion rights, which I would be absolutely here for !!

They paid me more money than I had ever seen to write a sequel to a film that did not need one. I took the check and spent it on beers to get me drunk enough to plow through this crap.

I looked at the final script, which took a whopping 2 days to write, and said "wow, now that's a piece of shit." And it was.

I had faith in Rick Rosenthal and he did not deliver. I suppose I expected him to be a miracle worker and nobody could've made this work. I don't regret hiring him.

Embarrising. I had not a single clue what I was doing.

It's funny to think I thought a limosine would pick me up and take me to my first studio set after the world saw this movie. That never happened. I almost gave up and moved back home to Kentucky but I refused to let the world kick me down. Kinda.

People tell me they really like this one and I tell them they're crazy.

Hopefully your feature debut will be better than this. Won't be hard.

Everyone who made this should take a coma- inducing dose of LSD, stare at themselves in a mirror, and wait for their faces to morph into the hideous monsters they truly are.

Fun fact: the huge innovation of Piggly Wiggly was not locking all their goods in the back, but putting it on shelves for customers to browse. Customers bought more as a result, & Piggly Wiggly invented the modern supermarket. The โ€œlock it all up & force you to ask me for itโ€ model already failed.

Best bit in the new Onion print edition is the fake ads that make it look like an alt weekly

Fake print ad with a hand shushing a woman's lips. The headline is "what are the odds we'd leak your information twice?" With the brand name Ashley Madison.
