I've been loving Tosh Show. His guests are way more interesting than listening to comedians talk to comedians all the time. Don't have any kids, so I find the bedtime stories at the end hilarious as well.

I mean we see that with Sauron and Frodo in the films. It would appear that having the ring on your finger when severed does fuck all to help you out.

not if we have anything to say about it

He's still a giant piece of fucking shit that can die in a house fire for all I care... Fuck. Stuart. Little.
