Reply to comment by stinking_badgers in TIL that the famous author Thomas Pynchon has avoided publicity during his fifty-year career to the point that almost all known photos of him are from the 1950s. However, he voiced himself in two episodes of The Simpsons, where his dialogue consisted entirely of puns on the titles of his books. by IHad360K_KarmaDammit

My grandma always had family in Germany send fantastic little marzipan sculptures to her house here in Canada for Christmas. I shit you not they'd send boxes of the stuff - one for eating and one for displaying. They wound up building a bookshelf, basically, that filled up one whole wall to keep them on. Mice, cats, soldier shaped nutcrackers, reindeer, a whole ass nativity scene. All kinds of shit
