    Not a lot of people know this, but Rick James was inspired by the Swine Flu thing of '76 and wrote and recorded "Give It to Me, Baby." You all thought it was dirty, but in the wrong way.

    Dottie is not Betty's mother's best friend, unless by "best friend" you mean "hot sexy geriatric lover," because she totally walked into Betty's mother's house without knocking and embraced her for so oh so hot old people lesbian sex. Oh, so, so hot.

    "I'm the healthiest 55 year old you've ever seen.


    And now, 33 years in the future, I'm most likely dead.


    So.
