Goodbye, Joe
Lookout Joe, you're comin' home. Old times were good times, Old times were good times. 'Lookout Joe' - Neil Young Strange having Neil's lyrics in my head as I think about my own feelings about the passing of Joe Flaherty. I was, once again, surfing pages on my phone after a long day of teaching and discovered that another icon from my youth was gone. I also wondered if this might have been a joke. April first had just passed, and I was ready for anything. But seriously, this? The death of one of my most beloved figures from my childhood? The loss of a man who was a keystone in one of the greatest comedy programs ever broadcast?

How South Park Used ChatGPT to Help Write an Episode. Content Warning.
South Park is a show like no other. Where so many shows and cartoons seem almost to exist outside of time, South Park stays rooted in the moment. That’s not to say, of course, that the children have actually aged. Apart from graduating from third to fourth grade, they’ve remained 10-year-olds as they’ve confronted everything from climate change to religion, to politics, to a giant mechanized Barbara Streisand.

MERCANTILE & TRADE: Caravan Leader Fired: Turb N. Guye, long time caravan leader for Lord Androlian - court jester - was terminated yesterday [from his position, not from his life, although the vote was close]. Per reliable accounts it seems Caravanser Guye has on several occasions delivered property and goods to the wrong coordinates, thus causing massive problems with proper distribution of resources and revenue. This firing took place amidst allegations of possible animal abuse as Turb N. Guye was also accused of humping the camels.

Kubrick's Cats
Blinking lights and a thousand useless switches. Tiny triangular windows surrounded by heavy bolts. The space was cramped, but he was calm. It was his companion who was having a problem with the lack of space. He was curled over his instruments into the smallest possible space to make the interior feel bigger.

The One Star Review . Content Warning.
Dear Yurp reviews, This was the worst meal I ever had. My friends and I went to Goma Bakery for some good eats. We had heard good things from other customers. We heard they used a special, sticky plant juice that enhanced the flavor of their food. We heard they were great and had a top notch world famous Michelin rated chef serving the best food and had excellent customer service with a top notch wait staff. People say they always left full and the prices were reasonable.
