My new wrestling personality is Big Handsome. A wrestler with a face so devastatingly beautiful he must always wear a mask for fear of taking it off and putting the crowd into an erotically induced coma.

BREAKING: Visual Effects (VFX) crews at Walt @Disney Pictures have filed with the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) to unionize with backing of @vfxunion.
This marks only the second time in history VFX pros have joined together, with the first being earlier just this month.
Fun fact: in France, Netflix already reports their viewership to writers monthly and pays writers based on that viewership, because it’s the law there. They literally already have this system in place.
Fred Penner and Mr. Dressup is a pretty great crossover, but the story behind it carries some tragedy.
About two weeks before he was to appear on Fred Penner's Place in 1992, Ernie Coombs' wife Marlene was struck & killed by a car while she was out shopping in Toronto.
Penner contacted Coombs and told him that it was okay if he cancelled the shows or rebooked.
Coombs said no. He and his wife had talked about it before she died and he wanted to be on the show.
"The energy that the crew gave him, when he came on set, was overwhelming to say the least," Penner said.
They did two shows. At the end of the second show, a song was scheduled called "Together, Tomorrow"
Penner and Coombs sat on the log on the set getting ready to say goodbye to the audience with that song at the end of the second show.
Penner stated that the song became about Ernie and his wife and both he and Ernie were on the brink of tears while singing the song.
"That was absolutely the most beautiful and most intense moment I ever had on the series," Penner said.
