It's always a trip checking Mark's Tumblr before Youtube. Like, what does a water demon want with Wade's house? Are the tacos for Wade or the demon? Are they sentient demon-slaying tacos, or do water demons have some extreme fear or fondness for tacos that trump their attachment to Wade &/or his house? Do the tacos and the demon even exist? Gonna find out later today. But until then I have no freaking clue. Anything goes in Mark's videos.

It was a reminder of just how creative so many of my colleagues are (and also that they’re pretty good cooks!). My contribution was the apple P.I.E. - which like many of the other offerings was a baking pun. Proto-Indo-European is the best reconstruction of the ancestor language of many modern European languages all the way over to languages like Nepali and Hindi.
How is that renowned Republican brand working for you? The pictures above are a reminder of past and ongoing Republican actions and inaction so that people will remember them when they get ready to vote.
