Pffrrrrrrrt!
I have been necessarily lax in my posting here these last few weeks, so please excuse me. In the place of real, honest-to-goodness content, I present this ne’er-aired Bud Light commercial: Heh.

Thanks, Children’s Television Workshop
There’s a very good reason for the sheer face of fear my subconscious encounters each time I’m somehow caught alone in a dark area, and it is this Bert & Ernie segment. Thanks for 25 years of terror induced by a simple, stupid 5 minute clip.
