It’s not yours, and someday in the future when you’re having a real bad day, they’re gonna come around asking for it. The government always gets its money.” —u/OfTheHunt “We somehow managed to make three lucky decisions in the past five years: bought our first house in 2018, refinanced at 2....

—u/snackthisway —u/floridaman001v2 I would just say ’no thanks’ and return the ‘prize.’ I can just go to the bathroom and pretend to take a shit for 10 minutes without having to give 24 hour notice." —u/she__devil —u/tylerdurdon —u/yankalier The following year, I won it. I was given a $50 check. A hard hat with coupons for fast-food joints, and a printed certificate, during our local Christmas party while they were announcing raffle prizes....

(who is now 25) sang a rendition of “Maging Sino Ka Man” with her mother, uncles, aunts, and cousins in the living room of the house her mother grew up in in Cabanatuan. In fact, Vogue Philippines recorded them performing for an upcoming video.

I think there’s something in this version of Matilda that positions our gal as more of a “superhero”. Perhaps it’s that we live in a post-Marvel world now, but when she sort of flips onto the roof during this song, I couldn’t help but think, “that’s a bit wild, 1996 Matilda would never”. I’m not mad about Matilda being more superhuman, so to speak, and I think Alisha’s performance is super endearing in this number, but for nostalgia’s sake I’ve moved it down the list somewhat....

“Aww, she’s wearing her uncle’s gift for her, how sweet,” says the person who has no idea what goes on in the Targaryen family. LOL at this small boy presenting himself as a suitor. Whoever this actor is, he’s killing it. Speaking of killing, go, small boy! Get that bully! Yep, there’s Daemon! Called it.
