Oh Crap. My Parents Joined Facebook. Posted: 8 months ago by suebe
Imagine you threw a party and invited all your friends. You’re goofing around, taking silly pictures, totally having a great time. And then your parents walk in…not to bust you, but to join the party. They want in on your private jokes, they finish their fortune cookie readings with “in bed,” and might even bust out with a “that’s what she said,” just because they heard it around and thought it was cool. Awkward.

Brother Theodore on David Letterman Posted: 8 months ago by suebe
It was impossible to tell if this was an act you were seeing or if he was utterly bats**t crazy, a berserk "genius" impervious to the laughter as long as an audience bought tickets. The props were a chair, a table, a chalk board and a stryrofoam cup. There was a single spotlight.
