It’s not just the name – it’s the taste, texture, rush of pleasure… that’s what BrownieBytes likes.
“Killer Brownie® isn’t your average brownie. It started in a family-owned grocery store in Dayton, Ohio with layer after layer of rich fudge, gooey caramel, and chocolate chips baked into something unforgettable. People went wild. Word spread. And just like that, a local favorite turned into a nationwide craving. Today, we still do it the same way: bold flavors, big layers, no shortcuts. It’s messy, indulgent, and made to live a little.”*
PREMIUM INGREDIENTS* “Unbleached, unbromated flour. No added hormones. Cocoa that’s actually sourced with care. Our brownies are made in a Kosher and Food Safe Certified facility, so every bite hits high standards without the fake stuff.”

Uncle Festus and Lurch from the Addams Family TV show
Lurch was a fictional character created by American cartoonist Charles Addams as a butler to the Addams Family. In the original television series, Lurch was played by Ted Cassidy.
He is a 6 ft. 9 in. tall, shambling, gloomy butler. In the original Addams Family television series, Lurch has a deep and resonant voice. Although fully capable of normal speech, Lurch often communicates via simple inarticulate moans, which, much like the dialogue of Cousin Itt, his employers have no trouble understanding.
Like any butler, Lurch tries to help around the house, but occasionally his great size and strength cause trouble. He clearly takes pride in his work and is willing to do even the most arduous task.
His character often demonstrates signs of frustration towards his employers; however, his continued presence also suggests loyalty. As a result, he appears to be one of the family.
The family summons him with an ever-present bell pull (in the form of a hangman’s noose). When pulled, it produces a loud gong noise that shakes the house, to which Lurch instantly appears and responds, “You… rang?”, even if wide-angle shots reveal that he was clearly nowhere in the vicinity before; on a few occasions Lurch arrives even before the bell pull is tugged.
Much of Lurch’s history, including his first name and the nature of his relationship to any other Addamses, was originally unspecified. “Lurch” was revealed during the original TV series to be a surname, as there was a “Mother Lurch” who appeared in one episode (portrayed by Ellen Corby). She addressed Lurch as “Sonny”, which could either be a parental nickname or his actual first name. As for his father, he was mentioned twice, once in the second animated series, and in an apparent reference to his Frankenstein’s monster-like appearance, Lurch said, smiling, “He put me together.” And another time in the original series where Lurch mentions his father wanted him to be a jockey (typically short and light people) instead of a butler.
It was stated in Addams Family Reunion that Lurch is part Addams. This plays into his being a creation similar to Frankenstein’s monster. The only definite body part that is from an Addams is his heart. Lurch’s mother appears to be a physically normal, elderly woman, although she does not see anything unusual about the Addams family or their home, with the exception of Thing.
“Lurch” as a Florida ocean lifeguard in Ormond Beach
A decade before Ted Cassidy played Lurch on The Addams Family (and appeared in Star Trek, The Twilight Zone, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and other films and series) he was an Ormond Beach lifeguard who earned a double major in Speech and Drama at DeLand’s Stetson University. That’s him, second from left. Handsome fella and, by all accounts, a very nice man.
Theodore Crawford Cassidy (July 31, 1932 – January 16, 1979) was an American actor. He tended to play unusual characters in offbeat or science-fiction works, such as Star Trek and I Dream of Jeannie, and he played Lurch on The Addams Family TV series of the mid-1960s.[1][2] He also narrated the intro sequence for the 1977 live-action The Incredible Hulk TV series and provided the growls and roars for the Hulk for the first two seasons before his death.

New York might not have those infamous “alligators in the sewer” — but Florida has the real thing.
A work crew in Oviedo, Florida proved the NYC urban legend was a Sunshine State reality after discovering an 5-foot gator residing in a sludge-filled pipe.
Footage of the scaly subterranean terror is currently stirring up a crapstorm on the City of Oviedo City Administration Facebook page.
“Just another reason not to go wandering down into the stormwater pipes!” a spokesperson said of the new underground sensation, which was spotted Friday during a routine pothole inspection.
A public works team had dispatched a robot equipped with a camera to get to the root of why a cluster of craters kept appearing on the road above, according to a Jam Press report.
The workers soon found something far more terrifying lurking beneath the surface.
“On Friday’s inspection, as you’ll see in the video, they came across a five-foot alligator!” the city organization exclaimed in the now-viral post.
The mortifying moment was captured in video footage that recalled the enduring big-city myth that inspired the 1980 B-movie “Alligator,” and was further popularized by scene-stealer Drew Barrymore in Steven Spielberg’s 1982 sci-fi classic “E.T.” (But is it really a metropolitan myth? Some New Yorkers might disagree after witnessing a gator crawl out of a drain in Queens back in 2010.)
Just got an email informing me that I’m getting part of a settlement from a class action lawsuit because of some issue concerning LinkedIn advertising.
I just have to click on the link to get my share of the settlement.
My share: $1.04. That’s right… One dollar and four cents.
Oh, I can’t wait to click on that link to see what happens next. 🤣

ROCKPORT, Mass. (AP) — Rockport residents have a history of fighting off invaders, but not this time.
During the War of 1812, townsfolk in the tiny fishing village hurled rocks at British soldiers using their stockings as slings. Now, they’re slinging trash bags and towels over the side mirrors of their cars to protect them from a destructive and determined pileated woodpecker.
Over the last few weeks, the bird has broken more than two dozen mirrors and at least one vehicle’s side window. But residents are taking the violence in stride.
“Everybody’s having a good laugh about it,” said Ben Favaloro. “Nobody wants harm to the bird. He’s always welcome back.”
Oct. 27 (UPI) — The lunch rush at a Wisconsin restaurant turned into a lunch stampede when a deer crashed through a window and wandered through the seating area and kitchen.
Security camera footage from the Noodles & Company eatery in Beloit shows the packed restaurant erupting into chaos when the buck breaks in through a window.
Customers scramble for safety as the deer wanders from the seating area into the kitchen, before leaving out the back door.
