!! OMG, Denny’s releases a Beetlejuice Beetlejuice menu including Beetlejuice shake! !!

Denny’s now has a Beetlejuice Beetlejuice tie-in menu promoting the film with such dishes as the “Say It Three Times Slam” (three small chocolate chip pancakes, three eggs, and three strips of bacon) and the Afterlife Melt (“this triple cheese threat is made with fried mozzarella sticks, melted American and provolone cheeses grilled between two slices of American bread, served with tomato sauce for dipping and wavy-cut fries”.

Ask and you shall receive! In July 2009, in the midst of Tim Burton’s career between “Sweeney Todd” and “Alice in Wonderland,” and as the MoMA in NYC was preparing a major retrospective on his career, Twitter user @bobservo (who co-hosts the podcasts Retronauts, Talking Simpsons, and What a Cartoon) made a playful comment about wanting to see a whimsical, Tim Burton-inspired version of a Denny’s menu. WELL, GUYS! YOU GOT IT! Check out the breakdown on the “Say It Three Times Slam” and more above!

!! OMG, are str8 people ok? Milf Manor !!

Milf Manor

And just like that… we suddenly have a new contender for bottom of the barrel of the toxic wasteland that is reality TV.

Milf Manor is a dating show you certainly didn’t ask for. But, once you catch a glimpse, you just might not be able to look away, despite its ultimately sexist and conservative premise dressed up as taboo-breaking.

Nancy Jo Sales does a great job of explaining just what is so wrong about the show in a Guardian opinion piece.

But perhaps you just want to meet the men of the manor, who—spoiler alert and Oedipal twist—are the actual, 100% real-life sons of the hot moms looking for love.

 

!! OMG, do you even read, sis? Valerie Solanas’ scarce play ‘Up Your Ass’ !!

Valerie Solanas Up Your Ass

If you like your important LGBTQ+ literary texts short, sharp and snappy, might Cookie suggest Up Your Assa rarely published play by vanguard NYC downtowner and Andy Warhol shooter Valerie Solanas.

According to publisher Sternberg Press, it explodes “social and sexual mores and the hypocritical, patriarchal culture that produces them” with “signature irreverence and wit, incisiveness and camp.”

Careful though, you just might see yourself imperfectly represented—as all representations are—in all your imperfectness, as “the unknowing john, the frothy career girl, the boring male narcissist, two catty drag queens, the sex-depraved housewife, and a pair of racialized pickup artists.”
