...bleeding from the eyes and screaming. Something you’ve always wanted to tell someone: In middle school, I went through a “gargoyles” phase during which I amassed a large collection of books, posters, and over 30 gargoyles of various sizes.

A master tailor, Liang, 59, was due to retire until he saw the photograph. It inspired him to hold onto his needle and thread, and delve into the old craft of making toys from spare cuts of fabric. Today, he sells the fruits of his labors from...
...ever told: I never laid a hand on your daughter, sir. Something you’ve always wanted to tell someone: Remember that time I told you I never touched your daughter? Well, I didn’t. I had sex with your wife. Favorite childhood toy: Maggie Sullivan, my next-door neighbor. Sexiest physical trait: My tiny penis. It’s soo cute! Favorite part about Harvard: Studying abroad. Describe yourself in three words: Come see RAPUNZEL In 15 minutes you are: Telling my TF to hurry up and put her clothes back on so we?...
