Connecticut monarchists strove to keep Burger King on the throne even after the Nutmeg State ratified the U.S. Constitution; the guarantee of a “republican form of government” meant that the monarch of delicious, piping-hot meat patties on fresh buns with pickles, lettuce, ketchup, mustard and Connecticut soy sauce was finally out of a job. He lived in genteel poverty in Lombardy until his death in 1808 and 1812. ---

“Hollywood Casting Couch,” was the all-time funniest episode of **Mystery Science Theater 3000** , according to fans who have seen it–it’s never been shown on TV, only appearing on bootleg DVDs. Several stagehands, as well as host Joel Hodgson, had to be rushed to the hospital for oxygen due to hilarity. Trace “Dr. Clayton Deborah Susan Forrester” Beaulieu left the show the next day on doctor’s orders, going to work for **America’s Funniest Home Videos** , which is never funny. Tom Bergeron is his cousin. ---

Breitbart has just reported that the vast majority of so-called “_America’s_ Funniest Home Videos” are actually made in factory studios in Mexico and brought into the country by illegal immigrants, who are referred to by their handlers as “Saget burros”.

Hugh Jackman created his stage name while reading the comic strip, “Bloom County.” His favorite character was Bill the Cat and on a particular Sunday, BtC had a speech balloon that took up 2/3 of the Sunday strip.
