Yeah! A good one, too.

My family has kind of an off kilter sense of humor, so this was a staple as a kid, alongside other classics like the stinky cheese man or the runaway beard.

I was pumped when I found out it was going to be a movie. Disappointed when I found out the movie had almost nothing to do with the book. And then pumped again when I realized the movie is awesome in its own right.

It's a term referring to K-12 in the US, I think including preschool. This corresponds to school for ages ~6-18.

Never did! Maybe I'll see about finding a copy for the kids

Shrek, you can't just marry... whatever that thing is!

Donkey, I'll marry whatever I want. God can go fuck himself.

Donkey gives no fucks about your outdated morality.

For whoever's curious, the actual text is "So they got hitched as soon as possible. And they lived horribly ever after, scaring the socks off all who fell afoul of them."

Why does the dress of "whatever that thing is " has a cockroach pattern

To be creepy and kooky, mysterious and spooky, altogether ooky.
