"Never even heard of adultery before. Is that some kind of shoe.” the punctuation makes it transcendent. hurts so good laughing

Given that Mary Carew is still living today, perhaps you should ask her for a guest column about what it was like being a Wife of Henry VIII.

This got me through a good six minutes of a very boring Zoom work meeting, bless you, kind sir.

Barbara Clerical Error should have a cameo in pirates of penzance to lend legitimacy to the pilot/pirate mistake

I now need to see a Hallmark romance between Alice Louth and Anne of Cleves after the former is mailed to the latter as a Christmas present!

Yes, and! What’s the bad blood between Alice Louth and Cecily Portrait? I wonder if that’s more of an after school special (they come from different sides of the tracks, but during the Battle of Somme they fight the enemy back to back, find respect, and Cecily dies in Alice’s lap. Her last words: okay you can borrow that gown, the one with the ermine and filligree, if you’ll embroider that cushion Henry wanted and say I did it)

or would we want them on Jerry Springer

or could it be like a Tarantino film...

The best Daniel Lavery articles make you look around the corners of the website afterward to see if he accidentally dropped any crumbs of hot GOSSIP
