A Very Timely, Relevant Post About Beavis and Butthead
Beavis and Butthead was one of my favorite shows as a kid. I watched it diligently, and I still think it’s hilarious, though perhaps not as genius as I once thought it was. Here’s the thing. Every time I tell someone that I miss Beavis and Butthead, or that I enjoyed...My Clumsy Family
