Well it's you girl, and you should know it
With each glance and every little movement you show it

Love is all around, no need to waste it
You can have the town, why don't you take it
You're gonna make it after all
You're gonna make it after all

How will you make it on your own?
This world is awfully big, girl this time you're all alone
But it's time you started living
It's time you let someone else do some giving

Love is all around, no need to waste it
You can have the town, why don't you take it
You're gonna make it after all
You're gonna make it after all

In terms of TV and movies, that's definitely fair.

All-time great episode of television.

The entire show holds up incredibly well for a show that is almost 50 years old.

When were you born? Before or after April 9, 1975, the day Monty Python and the Holy Grail was released?

I make jokes, that's what funny people do. I don't chastise people, that what douchebags do.
Funny people recognize that timing is everything.
It was the first post. That's timing.
Then feel free to borrow my moral compass as needed. I'd put that in orange, but yeah...No.
Zing!!!

Did you lose your mic drop emoji?

It helps when you speak from the angst-echo we can all relate to.

As I told a former Swamper who loved to tell people what was appropriate and what wasn't. Thanks for your advice, I know just what to do with it.

White had the foresight to make sure the theme song for the show she is most known for expressly referenced death.

I'm floored that anyone would be this annoyed by a harmless joke and a discussion over who would be on the Mount Rushmore of comedic women. I wasn't debating MTM's talent. Never disputed her worth as an actress or role model for young women. I was only talking about her in comparison to other comedic women (Lucy and Carol). I'd apologize, but since when do we apologize here for making jokes.
