Have you ever read something where you just KNOW the writer talks with their hands, does the sound effects, and would bust out a little dance if it suited the story? That's Erica. She's a colorful storyteller whose sense of humor and fearless honesty make a big impact. Her rants might go for the emotional jugular, hit your funny bone, or shock you and your mama out of your fajas. Usually it's all three. Often chronicling her life in Florida, her stories are full of characters like "Bikini Rifle Lady", "Mariachi Neighbor," and "Barbara The NextDoor Evangelist." There's almost always a message in the madness, and that's what people connect with most. Also her deep and undying love for Tevin Campbell. You can find more of her work at www.EricaFazio.com

Fame is one of those things that either seems like the greatest thing ever (the fans, the love, the glamour!) or like absolute torment (ok but I can't even go get some fries in peace?) and there doesn't seem to be much in between. Plenty of people worldwide would love to act, perform, or create, but would love to do it without all that fame stuff.

Enter Patrick Wilson.

I'm going to guess at least 80% of you went "Who?"—and that's exactly our point. Wilson is one of those actors who manages to have an incredibly long and storied career while still having most people not know who he is by name.

Wilson, by the way, is this guy:

Patricks IMDB is honestly overwhelmingly full.

Over fifty movie credits, multiple soundtrack credits, producer credits, a ridiculous number of appearances ... and still somehow almost nobody knows his name.

Which is something one fan on Twitter pointed out.

With hilarious results.










You'd think being in so many films and still having people not know who you are would be kind of a blow to your ego. Apparently, though, Patrick Wilson has a wicked sense of humor about his non-fame.

Digging through the comments we found this story from someone who worked with him and got to see the non-fame in action.

Eventually the tweet got around to Wilson himself.

We're guessing via his brother or some kind of elaborate warning system that goes off if too many people mention him by name. We don't know if that's a real thing or not but in our imaginations Patrick Wilson is totally sitting in his Pat Cave somewhere monitoring the dark web making sure his name isn't spoken aloud too many times lest some unspeakable evil be released.

And Patrick's response to the tweet kind of supports our imaginary scenario.

We don't know what your plan is, Not-Will-Arnett, but we're watching.

Just like we've watched all of your movies... however many there are. We asked Google and it said "at least 48."

This man is so good at flying under the radar that even Google doesn't know what he's actually up to. Now THAT'S talent.

CNN Just Used A Hilarious Poll To Show Just How Unpopular Trump's Ballroom Is—And We're Cackling

After President Donald Trump claimed that his new White House ballroom is "very popular" with the American public, CNN shared a hilariously shady poll that gets to the truth of the matter.

Last year, Trump ordered the demolition of the entire East Wing to make way for a 90,000 square-foot ballroom that will dwarf the size of the White House itself, sparking alarm from historical preservationists and the public alike.

Woman In Labor Times How Long Her Husband Takes To Poop To See If She Can Push Their Baby Out Faster In Hilarious Viral Video

It's well-known across the internet that it takes forever for men to use the restroom. For dads especially, in the time it takes them to poop, when they return to the house, their kids will have aged seven years, and their baby will have learned to walk.

These are jokes, of course, but it's an internet consensus that men spend a really long time on the porcelain throne.

In early 2024, 49-year-old Antonia Eastwood married Ashley Monk after about five months of dating. During the ceremony, Antonia tripped while walking down the aisle.

Antonia and Ashley were both suspicious that she did not trip accidentally and that Ashley's sister, Gemma, actually tripped her. Gemma and Antonia were not close, and the couple also believed that Gemma might be jealous that they were marrying after five months, though she'd been with her childhood sweetheart for 20 years without tying the knot.
