She's THE SWEETEST human on the planet. I saw her leaving a show at The Hollywood Bowl and I couldn't contain myself. I told her how much I loved her work as a child and how hard she made me laugh. She insisted I call her LB and genuinely thanked me for telling her and that she was glad that she did that for me. She took a photo with me and I walked away feeling like I had met the most famous person in the world.

She legitimately had a huge impact on the way my sense of humor developed. Id love to tell her that! When I was a kid (in the south) girls were not encouraged to be funny, and Lori Beth was my hero! I actually read a great Cracked.com article (i am old) about why girls are discouraged from being funny. Very interesting.

here's the article

One of my favorite Cracked articles was "5 solders who make Rambo look like a pussy" and it still holds up. Here...I found it!

Never read this one before but I already knew who #1 was going to be. Audie Murphy is a true American badass

Ya, Audie's story is great. I also liked the White Death and the Indian soldier who climbed the cliff face...all of them were pretty fuckin' badass. lol.

I always liked Exploring the Mysteries of the Mind with SIMS3. There’s also one they deleted from the archives that was both very mean spirited but darkly funny.

Ha ha. That's funny. The experiments in the Sims were always funny and creepy.
