[pinkpinkmermayyy]

artists I think each of the cars characters would listen to:

lightning mcqueen - either backstreet boys or one direction, either way he’s a boy band type of guy

sally carrera - YOU CAN NOT TELL ME THIS WOMAN DOESN’T LISTEN TO FIONA APPLE, LAUFEY AND LANA DEL REY like I can envision her belting out the most obscure unreleased lana del rey song ever that no one has ever heard of at the dead of night lmao

mater - uhhhhh rascal flatts ig just anything country

jackson storm - I know he listens to Megan thee stallion, the weeknd and micheal jackson you can NOT convince me otherwise and he despises nicki minaj with a passion (he streams hiss every day in his trailer and it drives his crew chief crazy)

cruz ramirez - I’m not gonna do her dirty here and assume she’s a sw*ftie but also she just feels more like an olivia rodrigo type of gal. She just has that vibe you know

natalie certain - she feels like a fiona apple girlie too tbh

flo - she listens to beyoncé like it’s her life support she fucking LOVES HER also mariah carey (you know she blasts THAT song every november to december in radiator springs LMAO)

ramone - listens to tyler the creator I JUST KNOW IT!!

sarge - listens to the national anthem to help him sleep

Fourteen’s earth music taste has escaped containment. He’s got sea shanties on the same playlist as Megan Thee Stallion. Just came downstairs in a Baha Men t-shirt. Knows all the words to We Didn’t Start the Fire (“Yeah, because I was there!” “For which one?” “All of them!”). Can and will play you both Elvis Presley and Billie Eilish on the ukulele. Their Spotify wrapped crashed the app.

“What is he listening to?” “Rascal Flatts.” “Why the fuck-”

Rose Noble is genuinely asking if it’s still considered “homicide” when the dead guy isn’t a human.

Sonic Crack Ships

So lately I've been going through a Sonic phase though its mostly a Tails phase if im being honest with myself. I've been trying to watch all the Sonic media and read all the Sonic comics that I can while playing a few Sonic games here and there. So my messed up brain came up with this stupid idea. What if I put every version of every canon Sonic characters from all Sonic media into multiple rounds of the hunger games simulator until only ones left. So I did that and even though I literally did it yesterday I already forgot who won I just remember it was something stupid. I also did it with all the diffrent canon and AU versions of Tails I could find and the winner was actually Tails from Sonic Boom. But anyways im getting off track where im going with this is that today while I was doing nothing lying in bed my brain came up with an even more messed up idea. What if I put all the Sonic characters not including the humans into a random wheel picker on Google to form a bunch of crack ships. So I did it for every character on the wheel. I now have a list. And I have decided to post this list because I find it funny. And I dare people to draw a couple from this list together or make a short cute crack story about one of these ships. And if you do please send a link to me. Ill die laughing if anyone does this. Sorry if I misspelled some names. P.S. I tried to put pictures on here for each character but I couldn't figure out how. I already have a part 2 for this in the works with even more characters.

I really liked the demo so far!! Btw will there be any poly options (and if there will be I need Megan in it!)

Thank you, Anon, happy to read you.

No, sadly I'm not planning on adding a poly option. The ros would not want to share your love with anyone else.

I'm glad Megan made a good impression on you, she's not all sultry looks and smiles that rascal. She has many cards on her sleeve, so I hope you stay around to discover them.

Game on.

"ethan lee, incase you feel cheated on, i'm going to remind you firsthand that you started this."

"who said i'm going to be?"

story includes : toxic relationship, cheating, dark aesthetic, lee heeseung x reader, angst, profanity

a/n : this is just a short fic to let everyone know this account is still alive lol midterms just ended 3 days ago and i'm enjoying my long-weekend. happy halloween, everybody.

theme song : feeling good by michael bublé, earned it by the weeknd

a fight happened the night before the party, "ethan, are you really going to blame everything on me? you're always too focused on work like nothing's ever gonna be enough." his arms helping his body lean on the cold marble countertop, too bottled-up to talk and too mad to make a decision. he glued his gaze onto the wall, eye-level ; contemplating whether he should lash out or end things. neither happened, instead, he spoke. "nothing's really gonna be enough if you keep failing at what you're supposed to do at work." you stood still, dumbfounded – you thought you were doing a good job finishing all your tasks as the ceo's secretary, but, you weren't?

"what are you talking about?" you questioned him, daringly. "what am i talking about? i'm talking about how you're always near guys who aren't even a match for me instead of actually doing your damn job!" he's had it. though you weren't done with your interrogation and the ultimate downfall that was only about to start, "and who are you to tell me that i'm not doing my job properly? you're just some lousy marketing officer who can't even manipulate me into thinking you're doing a great-ass job hiding all your petite little girls in your goddamn messages! yes ethan, i saw it all!" no sympathy is present in the atmosphere – just pure anger, betrayal, and negligence. "those overtimes you're taking, turns out you're just making work an excuse to meet pretty little megan. or if you're feeling a bit bored with her, you book a date with pretty miss harper. harper, ethan, my college bestfriend and our officemate. i really can't believe you." you threw your hands up in the air as a sign of defeat.

he was exposed enough to be alarmed and so, he rushed towards you, "are you snooping through my phone?" he gripped you by your shoulders tight, each word coming out his mouth was covered with fear — trembling with anger. "i would never tell, now let the fuck go!" you shook out of his hold to walk out, but before going to your separate room, you reminded : "you better enjoy your night with your sidechicks tomorrow 'cause hell i'm not coming to the anniversary party with you." and there, you slammed the door shut. you could hear from the other side of the room, ethan, who's now cursing the air and screaming like an insane person.

————

and there he goes, giving you his shit-eating grin while cheap girls cling on him – megan and your now ex-bestfriend harper – his sidechicks. ethan pointed your way for harper to see and she waved at you, in which you flipped her off hard with no humour present in your facade, she was confused. ethan probably didn't let her know too, huh?

even you yourself have no idea why you're letting your relationship with him turn into something like this, but it's too late to fix it since you've already bitten into ethan's tricks. you just gave him a cold gaze and a simple unenthusiastic grin in a distance, gently cradling the red wine glass on your palm. you look at the liquor, examining its viscosity – so rich and thick – just like your hatred for how your loving and perfect boyfriend turned to be. but at the same time you just love drinking everything in, dismissing the aftermath of it but instead enjoying the moment.

you cross your legs and raise your brows, resting your free arm on the frame of the couch's backrest. just in cue, park jongseong, better known as jay in your work, approached you and sat beside you. "hey, rascal." he leaned on the backrest of the couch and crossed his arms to give your boyfriend a good glare before asking, "tension's pretty heavy. had a fight?"

"pretty much. and you're going to help me piss him off even more." before jay could even talk back, which you were pretty sure that he wouldn't since he knew what's up, you pulled him out of his seat to go somewhere out of ethan's sight. you gave your lovely boyfriend a signal that you were gonna do something worse than what he's doing to you — which caught him off-guard and showed apparent soreness from the fact that you're beating him in his own game. looking back, you can see bim excusing himself from his sidechicks and coming to you.

make your own ending <3

Heavens and Earth Collide (Arc Trooper Echo x OC, Wild West AU)

Notes: my first piece that's solely Yulia and Echo and not through Saachi's POV. I aimed for third person omniscient POV but it's a lot of third person from Echo's POV. Wild West AU, Echo lost his legs in the war and moved to Pabu Creek with his brothers, finding work various work with Yulia's father, a moderately wealthy rancher. Echo's self-esteem issues, heavy inspiration taken from that one scene in the Queen Charlotte miniseries (iykyk) Omega is Megan because I wanted to. Featuring Crosshair and his harmonica as headcanoned by @paperback-rascal

A party at the Secura's was never dull. The rancher had made a good life for himself and his family, and he graciously shared that good fortune with the entire town.

It was Miss Yulia Secura's twentieth birthday, as well as her graduation from nursing college. To celebrate, she'd brought home a couple friends, escorted by her father's business partner, Senator Orn Free Taa, all the way from Washington DC.

Echo didn't like politicians on principle, but he would make an effort for Yulia's father's sake. Rolfe Secura had been kind enough to offer Echo a job in bookkeeping when his daughter left, and Echo felt he owed the rancher a great debt.

"And Orn, this is my bookkeeper, Echo. He's the smartest young man this side of the Missisippi. Nothing gets past him!"

"Ah, so you're the one responsible for our profits!" Senator Taa said, though instead of meeting Echo's eyes, his gaze drifted down to Echo's legs. Or rather, the lack thereof. Senator Taa smiled smugly and chuckled to himself.

"Well, Rolfe, you did always have a bleeding heart for the less fortunate!" He patted Secura on the back, and called for more wine when Rolfe tried to clarify.

"Tell me son, how did that come about?" He waved his champagne flute in Echo's direction, and Echo sat up in the wicker frame of his chair as if he were a soldier called to attention once more.

"I was a corporal in the army. My legs were unfortunate to be in the way of a cannonball."

"Our side, I assume?" Taa raised an eyebrow questioningly, and Yulia stiffened at the callous nature of Taa's comments.

"I served for the north, if that's what you're asking, sir. I served two years in the Union before I was hit. If my brothers hadn't pulled me out I wouldn't have made it."

Taa seemed put off by the insinuation, and mumbled something about "thank you for your service, young man," and insisting that Rolfe introduce him to the mayor.

Yulia shuddered as Taa disappeared into the crowd. The barn was currently empty of all hay and seed, making it the perfect spot to gather everyone in town, at least until the harvest was brought in and the cows had to be sheltered for the winter. But as Echo looked up at his dearest friend (And yes, maybe Tech was right in stating that the amount of letters they sent back and forth made them sweethearts) the candlelight from Missus Secura's oil lamps cast Yulia in a heavenly glow. All the sounds of Shep's fiddle and Wrecker's laughter faded into the background as Yulia turned to look at him.

"I apologize for the Senator. He's...not the most intuitive."

"Strange, then how'd he get to be a politician?" Echo asked.

"Money," Yulia sighed. Echo chuckled. It certainly seemed to make the world go round.

Senator Taa wasn't the first person to ask Echo about his injuries from the war, and he certainly wouldn't be the last, but it bugged him that Senators were supposed to care for their constituents. Taa's whole ulterior motive for coming to Marauder Valley, in addition to escorting Yulia and her school friend home, was to win over more votes in the upcoming election. From what Echo had seen, he was doing a bang-up job of it.

But it was hardly disappointing. Echo had known too many congressmen like that to be surprised by their apathy towards anything that truly bothered people.

But Echo refused to let some bum senator occupy his thoughts much more than he occupied theirs. Yulia was home. His best friend had returned, and he'd missed her.

She's changed from the elegant, slimming travel suit she'd worn when she'd gotten off the train with her wide-brimmed hat and her parasol to keep off the sun. Now her hair was down in their silky braids that moved whenever she talked and she wore a soft blue dress that looked like it was made from the fabric of the sky itself.

"Remember how we used to dance?" Yulia asked. Her gaze traveled over to the band in the corner. The mayor himself was on the fiddle, and then there was the bule and the washboard. Missus Secura had even brought out her piano to be able to entertain as the townsfolk spun and leaped in their best Sunday shirts and their dresses as colorful as the candy in the general store.

"Oh I haven't done that in a while," Echo said, nervously smoothing down the front of his vest with his good hand. Crosshair had insisted on ironing it for him, "Haven't you been learning all that fancy ballroom dancing back east? I would've thought you'd forgotten all about that."

"Oh come on, Echo!" Yulia pulled at his hand, "It's no fun to dance without you."

Echo sighed and stared into her deep brown eyes. It was impossible to say no to her.

"Alright, come on," Echo sat up straight and placed his hands on the wheels, making room for Yulia to sit on his lap. She tucked her skirt up just a bit so that it wouldn't drag and catch on the wheels.

Echo heard the town seamstress whispering with the blacksmith's wife as he wheeled them both into the dance floor. This was the only way Echo had been able to come close to dancing with anyone, and Yulia was the only one stubborn enough to make him do it, despite the scandalous appearance it gave. It was fine once they were on the dance floor, and the chair spun in time with the other dancers under Echo's dexterous steering, but the whispers were hard to get past.

They were always hard to get past.

The other party dancers skillfully avoided running into Echo's chair, allowing him to find a good pace as he rocked the chair back just enough to get it on the back wheels.

"Hold on," He warned, but Yulia was already laughing with her arms around his neck. She squealed as the chair spun and spun, not daring to move and disrupt the balance of the chair. Echo chuckled in her ear as the music picked up pace, but his arms tired and he had to return to all four wheels again.

Yulia's laughter tickled his ear. Her hold on his neck relaxed, but she didn't stand, clearly expecting to dance again.

"Echo!" His little sister called his name, making her way through the crowd with Wrecker as the song ended.

"Heya kid," Echo smiled.

"Welcome back home, Miss Yulia," Megan said. So Hunter was teaching her manners after all.

"Thank you, Megan, It's good to be home."

Megan just nodded, turning to Echo eagerly, "Can I have a turn dancing with you, Echo?"

Yulia laughed at Megan's impetuousness. It wasn't her fault, being polite all the time was exhausting, Echo knew firsthand.

Wrecker tried to let her down easy, "Actually, Megs, I think Yulia was still dancing with Echo."

"Oh, it's fine," Yulia said, still rosy-cheeked from all the laughter as she stood up, "Of course Megan can dance with her brother."

Megan beamed up at Echo, already clambering up onto his lap. How was he supposed to say no? Even if the woman he loved and admired more than anything in the world had just returned from two long years studying in the nation's capital and was standing right there?

Megan hadn't gotten to meet Yulia before she left. Echo and his brothers had only discovered that they had a sister just after Yulia left, and Megan was still being introduced to the town and getting used to how life was supposed to be lived. He could hardly begrudge her a dance, even if it left his arms felling as limp as prairie grass.

Crosshair began to hum on his harmonica, someone had requested a slower song for a change of pace. A few couples vacated the floor, too shy to be caught with a potential lover, but Lyanna, the Mayor's daughter, was asking Wrecker to show her the dance steps the way he'd taught Megan.

Megan got comfortable on Echo's lap, and wrapped her arms around his chest.

"You don't have to hang on that tight, kid," Echo chuckled as Megan braced her chin against His chest to look up at him.

"But I want you to spin me!"

Echo shook his head, "I'm not gonna spin that fast with this song."

"Please?" Omega held the "E" for his benefit. Echo would have warned her to hang on tight, but she already was. He leaned back in his seat again, lifting the front wheels off the ground, and spinning the back two wheels in opposite directions.

Megan giggled, and Echo couldn't help but laugh. Megan had been a light in his life, in all his brother's lives, since they'd found her. Megan's joy and zest for life gave him bravery that he hadn't felt since the battlefield.

He couldn't imagine life without her any more than he could imagine life without Yulia.

Echo glanced around the room. Tech was wooing the pawn shop owner with his knowledge of fancy dance steps, and Hunter was talking with Yulia's friend from school. Maybe he'd actually get a dance out of her, but Yulia had emphasized how stubborn she was, so Echo was a little doubtful.

Echo's chair nearly fell over when he stopped abruptly.

Yulia was dancing with Senator Taa.

She's just doing it to be polite, he told himself. Her movements were stiff, and she was trying to maintain an appropriate distance, but the Senator didn't seem to take a hint.

"Echo, are you okay?" Megan asked.

Echo shook his head, "I'm fine, Megs." He wheeled her around the floor in an attempt to distract himself, and to keep Megan from asking anymore questions.

He wasn't sure what he was feeling. Yulia was his friend, nothing more. He couldn't expect her to give him every dance when there were other men around. Men with all their limbs, who were able to accomplish much more than Echo could, sitting at a desk all day.

Echo would never expect Yulia to give herself to him.

The song ended, and things just got worse. Echo wheeled himself over to Tech and Phee to try and hide, but Senator Taa's voice rang out in the barn, calling for everyone's attention.

"It is has been such a pleasure to be here in beautiful Pabu Creek with all of you. If you would all raise your glasses," Taa was one of the only people actually holding a glass with which to do one of those fancy toasts, "And join me in toasting Yulia Secura to congratulate her on her twentieth birthday."

Polite applause rippled through the barn, and Echo wasn't so totally soured that he couldn't applaud with them. Yulia flushed under the attention, and her mother squeezed her shoulder as her friend from school slipped into place beside her in order to offer her support. Echo's heart gave a little pang, wishing he had the courage to offer Yulia that kind of support. He knew from the way she adjusted her braids that she was trying to hide her face, embarrased by the senator's show, but he just couldn't stop himself.

"A toast to Miss Secura on her birthday, for her exceptional beauty as well as her wit, and many more to come!" Taa's voice boomed. Was he drunk?

People started to talk amongst themselves, thinking that Taa's speech was done, and that the music would start up again, but Taa just couldn't stop himself.

"And on this exceptional night, Miss Secura, I would like to ask if you would do the honor of being my wife."

Everyone froze. The room went silent.

"Huh?" Megan asked. She was, perhaps, a bit louder than was polite, but Taa's eyes snapped to her in a glare that lasted only for a moment before he focused on Yulia again, his hand outstretched as he plastered on his sickeningly sweet smile.

Yulia's face was red as she turned to her friend, trying to look anywhere but at Senator Taa. Whispers echoed through the room as Taa tried to convince Yulia what a perfect match they'd be, and Echo couldn't bear it. He ran over the toe of Tech's shoe as he hurried out of the barn and into the cool night air.

"Wait, Echo!" Megan called after him, but he ignored it. He pushed his wheels as fast as he could despite the ache in his arms, kicking up the dust behind him as he went.

Echo didn't like the raw, hollow feeling in his chest that felt like he was being carved from the inside out. He couldn't even feel his heart beating anymore as he ran.

Yulia wasn't his, he knew it. He could never ask Yulia to be his, to doom herself to a life of a caretaker and social outcast. She deserved better than that.

Even if Taa was a pain in the shebs, he could give Yulia so much more than Echo could.

"Echo, wait!" Yulia cried.

Echo screeched to a halt. He'd wheeled himself out to the river. He was unable to cross, and the ground was too rocky on either side to try and escape.

"Echo!" Yulia gasped for breath as her feet slammed against the dusty ground. Her hands rested on her knees as she crouched beside him.

"Are you okay?" She asked.

Echo opened his mouth, but no sound came out. His throat was too dry.

"I... I'm fine..." He gasped.

Yulia sighed, "No, you are not. I saw you leave when Taa proposed."

"You shouldn't leave your fiancé like that, especially with another man-"

"Fiancé?" Yulia asked. She looked appalled at the mere suggestion and shook her head, rubbing at her temples.

"Echo, I refuse to marry Senator Taa not only because he is almost three times my age, but because he is absolutely nothing like the man I want to marry."

Echo rolled his eyes, and something pulled the pettiest of his feelings to the surface of the pit in his chest. "Really? And who would that be?"

Yulia simply fixed him with a focused stare.

Echo's heart stopped.

"I thought it was obvious," Tech's ever-annoying catchphrase echoed in his head.

"No. No, you can't be serious, Yulia."

"Echo," Yulia stared, mustering all the sincerity of her soul, "Echo I love-"

"No!" Echo protested, "No, you can't! You can't be in love with me, you can't!"

"And why not?"

"You shouldn't want me."

"That doesn't change the fact that I do, Echo. I mean it. And you still haven't answered my question."

"You do not want a life with me for yourself!"

"Who are you to decide what I do or do not want!?" Yulia placed both her hands on the arms of Echo's wheelchair.

Echo gulped, his face gaunt as Yulia loomed over him, her eyes unflinching from his own.

Echo shook his head, "I...I can't provide for you. I can't do what a husband is able to do for his wife."

"I can provide for us! Echo, I am a midwife, a doctor. I don't need you to take care of me!"

"It... It's humiliating, the work others have to do for me. I can't ask you to give up a life of comfort to take care of me."

Yulia's face softened. She knelt in front of Echo and placed her hand over his fist.

"You are not asking me. I am volunteering. Not because I pity you, but because every moment I am away from you pains my heart. The thought of living without you..." Yulia gasped as though the air could not reach her lungs, "I can't breathe."

Echo's fist loosened, and before he could back away Yulia laced her fingers in between his and held tight.

"I am used to hard work. Any labor pales in comparison to the joy that comes from being your companion, from being with you."

Yulia's other hand came up to cradle Echo's face. As she traced his cheekbone, a tear leaked out from his eye.

"I love you, Echo. And despite your reasoning that I should not love you, every excuse you have given me leads me to believe that you love me too."

Echo gasped, unable to keep another tear from falling.

"I... I can't...Yulia, you do not..." He couldn't form the words.

Yulia set her mouth in a firm line, but she refused to remove her hand. Echo's eyes darted about like a spooked stallion, but he leaned into her touch, as if her weathered palm were a down pillow.

"If you do not love me, if I am wrong, then I will accept Mr. Taa's proposal."

"You should," Echo's voice betrayed him with a squeak, but Yulia's eyes never left his.

"First, you have to tell me that you do not love me." She said, her voice filled with the conviction of a senator.

"I do-" Her heart stopped for a moment but Echo couldn't bring himself to finish his sentence and her hope soared again.

"I do- I can't -"

"I love you, Echo," She repeated. "Do you love me?"

"Yes!" Echo said without hesitation, "Yes, I love you."

The moment he admitted it, Yulia smiled at him, a smile brighter and with more warmth than the desert sun. It made his heart beat funny, and tugged at the corner of his mouth.

Then Yulia's second hand clasped his face, pulling him towards her, and pulling herself up to meet him.

Her lips felt as warm as the sun. They were as warm as the sun, and as soft as a baby lamb.

Her hands trembled against his cheek, and he used his good arm to wrap around her back, pulling her close to sit on his lap in his chair.

Her nose bumped against his, and she sat back, wrapping her arms around his neck, draping across the back of his chair, to make sure that he wouldn't disappear.

"I love you, Echo Fett, and nothing in this world could change that." She whispered.

Echo squeezed her hip, running his thumb across the ruffles in the floral fabric of her dress.

"I love you too, Yulia Secura," He said, "I love you more than all the stars in the sky."

She tapped a finger his chest, "And don't you forget it," She nestled her head between his shoulder and his neck, and he could feel her steady breathing beneath the cotton of his shirt.

"I won't," He vowed, pulling her closer, "I promise, I won't."

The Scottish TV host and entertainer Craig Ferguson was born in Glasgow, on May 17, 1962.

Ferguson was born in Stobhill Hospital and brought up not far from where I now live in nearby Cumbernauld. He admits to growing up "chubby and bullied" At age sixteen hen left Cumbernauld High School and began an apprenticeship to be an electronics technician at a local factory of American company Burroughs Corporation.

In the early 1980s, Ferguson drummed in punk bands for a few years before a bartending job led him to Michael Boyd, the artistic director of the Tron Theatre. Boyd talked Ferguson into giving acting a shot, which Ferguson soon did, finding the comedy prong of the art too compelling to ignore.

Ferguson soon created an outrageous—and successful—stage character called Bing Hitler. On top of the local success he was experiencing, Ferguson used the experience as a backdrop from which to move into mainstream acting roles.

Craig Ferguson’s first TV appearance came on an episode of the sci-fi sitcom Red Dwarf in 1988, and it was enough to get Ferguson to head overseas to the United States for his first role on American TV. The part was playing a teacher in the pilot episode of High (1989), which starred Gwyneth Paltrow and Zach Braff. The pilot wasn’t picked up, though, and Ferguson headed back to Scotland.

Once back in the UK, Ferguson found that roles came sporadically before he landed his own BBC show The Ferguson Theory in 1994 While the sketch comedy show put the funnyman front and centre, it only lasted five episodes.

When Theory was no more, Ferguson packed his bags once again for America. But this time he’d find a lot more success waiting for him than he did years before. When Ferguson joined The Drew Carey Show as Nigel Wick in 1996, his run lasted several seasons and led to the actor becoming a known quantity in the world of U.S. television.

Ferguson’s busy life on TV and the big screen got a lot busier in January 2005, when he took over the late-night comedy series The Late Late Show. Once it found its footing, Ferguson’s show was another hit, earning its first Emmy nomination a year into its run. Mixed in with his work on the show were several high-profile big-screen roles, often voice-over work, in movies like How to Train Your Dragon, Winnie the Pooh and Brave.

Ferguson, who became an American citizen in 2008, is also an author, publishing Between the Bridge and the River and American on Purpose.

On 28 April 2014, Ferguson announced he would be leaving The Late Late Show at the end of 2014, with the final episode airing on 19th December that year.

Ferguson is a recovering alcoholic, sober since 18th February 1992, another Scot who has dealt with his depression, he admits to having considered suicide before giving up the bottle.

In 2017 he released a six-episode web show with his wife, Megan Wallace Cunningham, titled Couple Thinkers. For two seasons from 2021, Ferguson hosted the American game show The Hustler, which airs on ABC.

There were stories earlier this year that Craig was going to return to late night television once more in a programme called Channel Surf with Craig Ferguson.

Ferguson is doing his first stand up tour since the 80's,,the Fancy Rascal tour will begin in August.
