TODAY, I'M THINKING FONDLY OF EUGENE DENBO

Sure, you know Seth Morris as Bob Ducca, Rob Corddry from Children’s Hospital, Brian Huskey from those Sonic’s commercials, and John Ross Bowie from Big Bang Theory & his appearance on NNF… but together, they are the improv group, Naked Babies.
Can we all just take a moment to bask in the glory that is Seth Morris’s 90’s haircut? Also, this entire...

ARGUABLY THE BEST CHRISTMAS EVER
Would you like an hour of Christmas Music that won’t make you punch your family in the mouth?
Such a thing does not exist. BUT here’s the closest thing. A Spotify Playlist with an enchanting mix of old and new — The Waitresses, and Frank, and Sufjan Stevens’ take on one of my favorite hymns (yes. I have favorite hymns.) There’s some obvious ‘cool’...
