I’m a 27 year old, 6’4″, college-educated, reasonably confident, fairly attractive (8/10 on an average day).
I’m not a 10/10 so I don’t have women throwing themselves at me, but I have a reasonable chance of catching virtually any woman I might try to pursue.
When we think of family-friendly TV shows, we imagine laughter, life lessons, and happily-ever-afters. But the final episode of “Dinosaurs,” the beloved sitcom featuring a family of anthropomorphic dinosaurs, took a turn so wild it left us all in a fossilized state of shock. Let’s dig up the dirt on one of the most jaw-dropping finales in television history, which, believe it or not, gives the explosive ending of “Little House on the Prairie” a run for its money.

Jay Leno mentioned once that he doesn’t own a Ferrari because they prefer that you have had one or currently own one. True?

The other is your elderly mother, who is weak and struggling to keep afloat.
