Gary, who the Star Wars actress accredited to helping her cope with her bipolar disorder, has been posting many tributes to his "mommy" on his Twitter and Instagram. Well, maybe Gary did employ the help of someone with thumbs for the tweets.

Fisher adopted Gary as a service dog. He accompanied her everywhere, from red carpet events to on-camera interviews.

No seriously, these are so freaking sad.

So where will Gary go now that Carrie has gone to a galaxy far, far away? According to TMZ, Gary Fisher will remain in the care of Billie Lourd, Carrie Fisher's 24-year old daughter.

Lourde already has a French Bulldog of her own named Tina, who she says is "best friends" with Gary. Additionally, TMZ is reporting that Fisher always intended to leave Gary to her daughter if anything were to happen to her, so it looks like the pooch will be in good hands.

🌸🌹💖👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩💖🌹🌸

According to his Twitter, Gary seems cool with being adopted by the Scream Queens star as long as she provides bacon flavored treats.

Good news, Gary. It looks like Tina is already one step ahead of you.

Girl high on anesthesia reduced to tears because 'the fish are drowning.'

There's nothing that unites the internet like laughing at the confusion and despair of a person who just had their wisdom teeth extracted and its still whacked out of their mind on anesthetic. This latest example is especially ridiculous—a young woman named Leila was consumed with grief by the fish tank in her oral surgeon's office, convinced that the fish inside were "drowning."

You can tell she is a kind-hearted soul. It's a shame that this video will be on the internet forever.

Dead birds are inexplicably falling from the sky in New Jersey, which can't mean anything good.

Just as soon as we are whisked away from 2016, we will be thrust into the terrifying future that is 2017. Besides Donald Trump taking office in January, there are plenty of other things to be worried about. But, in case you weren't terrified (please, teach me your ways), we've got a irrefutable bad omen for you: dead birds inexplicably falling from the sky in New Jersey. I'm sorry, do we live in a Hitchcock movie?

"All of a sudden it was raining dead birds," Philly.com reported on the incident. The reporter goes on to describe the carnage: "by the time the brief "shower" was over, as many as 200 red-winged blackbirds littered the ground in a small housing development off Frank Davis Road surrounded by vast farm fields."

What's worse is that this was the second time this happened in the same rural area in a span of several weeks. Sorry to everyone who lives near the Frank Davis Road, but y'all are hexed for sure. Beyond this clearly being a warning sign of a doomsday yet to come, it also presents an immediate danger of being bludgeoned in the head by a dead bird, which sounds painful and disgusting.

The incidents, which initially occurred in November, led to an investigation by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection to attempt to determine what made the birds fall to the ground, but the results were inconclusive. "We did ascertain that the birds suffered trauma and internal bleeding from hitting the ground. But what made them fall from the sky in the first place . . . we can't say for certain," said DEP spokesman Larry Hajna.

They've ruled out causes including toxic pesticides, as well as the compounds found in wheat seeds in the nearby fields. So for now, maybe all that's left to do is embrace that we live in a sci-fi apocalypse. What was it like to wake up and experience the end-of-the-world seeming situation? Resident Debbie Hitchner describes finding the dead birds in her backyard: "Out in the country like this, you find dead stuff lying around all the time . . . but this was kind of weird. My dog just kept finding them, one after the other."

Looks like things are only going to get weirder.

Who thought letting high school kids have a Nazi parade was a good idea?

WHO APPROVED THIS? A high school in Taiwan has come under fire after it hosted a parade in which students dressed up as Nazi soldiers and carried swastika banners.

According to The New York Times, Hsinchu Kuang-Fu High School held the parade as part of its anniversary celebrations. The parade focused on Adolf Hitler, a theme which was apparently chosen by the students. Videos, like the one below, and images from the parade went viral and sparked a worldwide outrage. Again, I have to ask, WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA?

Ah, my question has been answered. Apparently the widespread criticism of the parade led the school's principal Cheng Hsiao-ming to resign earlier this week. Cheng apologized and told local news outlets that he took responsibility for the incident. He said that he believed the issue was "our education's problem," not "a problem created by the children."

According to the Times, history textbooks in Taiwan focus on the fighting in Asia during World War II, which has led to a lack of awareness about the events in Europe during that time.

The Chabad Taipei Jewish Center issued its own statement about the parade, saying that it regrets “the use of Nazi imagery and logos by students in Taiwan, as it reopens historical wounds suffered by the Jewish people.”

“Certainly it’s not meant to be an act of anti-Semitism,” Ross Feingold, the chairman of the center said of the parade. “Holocaust education is extremely limited here.”

At least we can say these high school kids didn't really know what they were doing? Does that make it better? Worse? Let's go with, "Shouldn't have even happened in the first place."

Let's pretend we're going to be better people in the new year.

Pilar cysts are among the weirdest phenomena Dr. Pimple Popper has to deal with. These small, firm cysts, normally found on the scalp, often have strange shapes because of the pressure placed on them by the skull. In this case, that shape is eerily similar to an adorable little snowman (except made out of skin cells and covered in blood). As soon as this little guy burst forth from this patient's head like a modern Athena, Dr. Lee dubbed him "Frosty."

Teen sent to hospital after friends' moronic chainsaw prank backfires in the most predictable way.

In Germany, a group of teenagers landed themselves in deep trouble, and their friend in the hospital, after they tried to "prank" him with a fully-functional chainsaw. The Daily Mail reports that the 18-year-old victim was partying during the Christmas holiday with four friends between the ages of 15 and 22 in their hometown of Wickede in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. At some point, he passed out on the couch, which is when they decided to play an awesome prank on him with a chainsaw they just happened to have handy. They were inspired by this 2015 viral video from Norway:

But they forgot one key detail: in that video, the prankster had removed the chain first. Although noisy and terrifying, that chainsaw was harmless. The prank was cruel and evil, but not dangerous. The German youths apparently didn't think that part was particularly important.

So when the 22-year-old brandished a running chainsaw at his sleeping "friend," there was nothing to protect him. Police spokesman Wolfgang Lueckenkemper said:

[The victim] was so frightened that he tried to push the blade away, and was badly injured in his left hand … The 22-year-old told us that he was sure he had switched on the chain brake. But the chain had turned.

Oh, that tricky chain brake. You can never depend on it when it counts—like when you almost cut off your friend's hand.

The victim was rushed to the hospital, where his four friends were also treated for shock. The 22-year-old likely faces charges of inflicting dangerous bodily injury. Amazingly, his blood tested negative for alcohol, which kind of makes the whole story more embarrassing. If you're going to maim your friend with a harebrained prank gone wrong, you could at least have the decency of getting blackout drunk first.

Chewbacca shares his favorite memory of Carrie Fisher being 'one of the guys.'

When someone as amazing as Carrie Fisher dies, there's some comfort in hearing fond memories from the people that knew her best

Carrie's long-time friend, actor Peter Mayhew, best known for his role as Chewbacca, gave the public some much-needed insight and shared his feelings about Carrie Fisher on Page Six.

After explaining why every fan who met Carrie ended up covered in glitter, Mayhew shared this great memory from his time with her filming Star Wars.

When we were working, she was constantly surrounded by three men — me, Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill.

And you know what? She was just one of the guys.

Carrie could say and do things with us that were just hilarious.

I remember once — when it was very hot one season — someone went out and got some squirt guns and brought them on set to cool us off.

Picture this: Carrie was floating around in her costume with a squirt gun — a big one — soaking Harrison, Mark and everyone else that got in her way.

It was a hell of sight. We had to take it away from her.

What a great image. A squirt gun fight definitely justifies running around in a gold bikini all day.

Steve Martin deletes tweet after backlash over remembering 'beautiful creature' Carrie Fisher.

Comedy legend Steve Martin tweeted and deleted a tribute to the late Carrie Fisher that some found to be distasteful and sexist. The now-expunged tweet read, "When I was a young man, Carrie Fisher was the most beautiful creature I had ever seen. She turned out to be witty and bright as well."

Although many saw no problem with the tweet, others felt that commenting on her looks was a disgrace to Fisher's legacy as a feminist who often spoke out against ageism and her "sex symbol" persona as Princess Leia.

After all, Fisher devoted much of her post-Star Wars career trying to separate herself from being masturbation material for teenage boys. She tried to show the world how badass Leia was beyond the metal bikini, and empowered women to trounce those who thought that female characters should be reduced to one dimensional eye candy under the male gaze.

Of course, most tweets being sent out now are people getting mad that people got mad, but such is the internet.

In a 1983 interview with Rolling Stone, Carrie Fisher even called the Star Wars movies "boys' fantasies" adding about her character, "the other way they made her more female in this one was to have her take off her clothes."

Ugh, we miss you already.

Of course, Steve Martin probably meant no offense when remembering his old friend, but we can't help but feel that somewhere, in a galaxy far, far away, Carrie Fisher is half-jokingly flipping Martin off right now.

RIP.

Paul Simon has joined the list of celebrities paying tribute to his ex-wife, the late Carrie Fisher. Simon and Fisher were married from August 1983 until July 1984. Simon had been silent about Fisher's passing until Wednesday morning, when he spoke out about her death on Twitter.

"Yesterday was a horrible day," Paul Simon wrote on Twitter. "Carrie was a special, wonderful girl. It's too soon."

Simon's tribute to Fisher is just one of many, as celebrities, Fisher's Star Wars co-stars, and even her dog Gary have posted to pay tribute to Princess Leia.

Rest in peace, Princess.

A video of a little kid dribbling a basketball through the streets of New York went viral on Tuesday for his incredible ball handling. Oh, and for his hapless defender's glass ankles.

Owned. Of course, the video could definitely be staged, as the good folks at Fox Sports point out. Like, why was someone filming? Who's the person in the black coat just standing in the middle of the intersection the entire time? How did @GillianJordan end up with the video? Why did she start guarding him in the first place?

Anyway, hopefully it's real. Those handles definitely are.

Family of 8-year-old says he was kicked out of Cubs Scout for being transgender.

The Boy Scouts of America claims that members of all sexual orientations are welcome in their organization, but that welcome apparently doesn't extend to people who are identify as a gender different from the one on their birth certificates. Case in point: this fall, an 8-year-old boy from New Jersey named Joe Maldonado was kicked out of Cub Scout Pack 87 in Secaucus, NJ, for being transgender.

When Joe's mother, Kristie Maldonado, signed her son up for the Scouts, his transgender status was reportedly made clear. At that point, Joe, who had been born a girl named Jodi, had been living as a boy for over a year, and his gender identity wasn't a problem at school.

About a month after signing her son up, Maldonado was allegedly told by a Northern New Jersey Council of Boy Scouts official that the some of the other kids' parents had complained, but not the kids themselves. Maldonado stressed, "Not one of the kids said, 'You don’t belong here.’”

In an interview with the North Jersey Record, Joe said,

It made me mad. I had a sad face, but I wasn’t crying. I’m way more angry than sad. My identity is a boy. If I was them, I would let every person in the world go in. It’s right to do.

The communications director for the Boy Scouts of America, Effie Delimarkos, gave a statement to the Recordwhich read,

No youth may be removed from any of our programs on the basis of his or her sexual orientation. Gender identity isn’t related to sexual orientation.

The Boy Scouts of America told CBS News that it offered the family different co-ed programs for Joe, but what Maldonado really wants is for them to apologize to her son.

Internet urges woman to dump pretentious loser who complained about her 'terrible taste.'

Media professionals and other busybodies are having a field day making fun of a puffed-up buffoon who wrote to advice columnist Annie Lane asking if he should dump his girlfriend over her "terrible taste." The man, who writes for a music magazine (duh), is concerned that he and the woman patient enough to date him won't ever bridge the gaping chasm between the high-minded fare he enjoys, and her brainless crap.

After his letter and Annie's response were published in newspapers across the country, it was picked up by Washington Post writer Alexandra Petri. She tweeted an image of the column, along with a simple warning for the woman in question: "Run as fast as you can from this man."

Here's the man's letter:

Dear Annie: I've been seeing this woman, "Becky," for six months or so. We met through a mentorship program for underprivileged teens. She's a lawyer and smart. I write for a music magazine. We have a great time together.
But — and I know this is going to make me sound like a jerk — I can't get over her terrible taste in movies, music and TV shows. I don't own a television, and I only dedicate precious free time to critically acclaimed shows. She watches, you guessed it, reality TV.
We have tried taking turns picking movies to watch, but I'm miserable watching rom-coms, and she's miserable watching the heavy films I pick.
I collect vinyl and enjoy discovering new music from independent artists. She listens to pop stuff.
Annie, what do you think? Can we ever make this work?
— Dinner and Definitely Not a Movie

Yikes. Here's Annie's response:

Dear Not a Movie: Opposites attract for good reason. Sure, you might drive each other a little nuts — but would you really want to date someone exactly like you? Taste is fleeting. The important thing is that you hold similar values. It sounds as if you two share common ground there, where it counts.
Keep an open mind , and encourage her to do the same. Who knows? You might find something profoundly liberating about shaking it off to some Taylor Swift, and your girlfriend might love crying her heart out to a Sundance selection. You can learn from each other. And a bonus: You'll never have to worry about her stealing your records.

That is a very reasonable and even-handed response. No wonder she's so popular. But people on Twitter were much less forgiving. After Petri tweeted the article, people started piling on this guy faster than vinyl collectors on an estate sale.

Then legendary relationship advice columnist Dan Savage got involved.

Which just got the hate cycle started all over again.

Now that the story has gone viral, we can just wait and see if it ever gets back to the couple in question. Even if their relationship could survive the Man Men/Kardashians divide, it probably couldn't survive this public flogging.

This man who wrapped Christmas presents for squirrels is the reason for the season.

The holidays are for giving, and no one knows this better than the man who wrapped up mini Christmas gifts to give to the four squirrels that live in his garden. The man's daughter, Lucy (or @SHESAMERICVN on Twitter), uploaded the photos of her father gifting the tiny presents to the rodents.

THIS IS WHAT CHRISTMAS IS ABOUT, FOLKS.

Lucy wrote in other tweets that the squirrels actually did end up unwrapping their Christmas gifts. Looks like these little fuzz balls were on the nice list this year (according to humans. Not according to birds.)

What was underneath the festive packaging? Nuts, obviously! Duh. What, did you think the gifts were? Tiny iPads?

If this doesn't warm your heart, then you probably don't have one (or squirrels have been messing with your plants, in which case, that's understandable). Now, let's end this with a picture of an extremely grateful looking squirrel being like "thank you for these nuts, kind human God. I will cherish them by eating them and pooping them out on your lawn."

Wow this squirrel is #soblessed.

Guy's in-laws turn on him for wearing a raunchy Christmas sweater in front of the kids.

Family holidays can be tough for jokesters whose senses of humor often go unappreciated by their more serious relatives. One such jokester (who goes by posted a harrowing tale to Reddit about how his inappropriate Christmas turned his in-laws against him forever (or at least for the time being).

This happened xmas eve/ xmas day. My favorite holiday is Halloween and I love dressing up and being festive for holidays. This year, I decided to buy one of those "riding a snowman" costumes to wear at our family gatherings. I also bought an ugly xmas sweater that had a picture of a cartoon tree saying "I don't want your balls on me" with (2) red tree decorations (round balls basically). I threw on an elf hat with fake ears and I was ready to be the funny idiot at Christmas.

I went to my family gathering xmas eve (tons of people and little kids aged 2 and up) Walked in and everyone had a laugh, the kids thought it was funny and I proceeded to have a merry Christmas....

Let's see what happens when our friend wears his Christmas garb to his in-laws' house.

Next day I decided to wear it to my wife's family gathering...they are a little more serious and straight laced than my family, but I've known them for 19yrs now and they know I'm a moron who does stuff like this. (I wore the bunny suit from a "A Christmas Story" there last year)....well, immediately upon entering my sister-in-laws house, my nieces descended upon me and basically attacked me (not the reaction I was expecting)....it was at that moment I realized that the carrot nose on the snowman wasn't in the most appropriate place....they start tugging on the carrot and punching the snowman in the face (or my crotch depending on the way you look at it)...her grandfather shoots me a look of death and I decide it's time to lose the pants. No big deal as I had pants on underneath.

I couldn't however lose my sweater because I only had a raggy white t-shirt underneath. The kids there ranged from 1-about 5 1/2...

It all might have worked out fine if his over-achieving 5-year-old niece hadn't learned to read yet.

As we're half way through dinner and everyone is eating at the table, my sweet as can be 5yr old niece who was sitting across from me blurts out (real loud and clear too...) "I DON'T WANT YOUR BALLS ON ME!" "I DON'T WANT YOUR BALLS ON ME!" "I DON'T WANT YOUR BALLS ON ME!"......

I didn't realize any of them could read yet. HONESTLY.

Yes, he did include a photo of the inappropriate sweater in question.

It's pretty funny, actually.

From "Fun Uncle" to "Uncle Pervert" in a matter of moments.

I try to cover up and explain to her that the hooks on the ornaments are sharp and heavy and the trees don't like them

Her grandparents are now murdering me with their eyes and her aunt starts yelling how inappropriate I am and how dare I wear something so horrible when I knew there would be little girls around.

My wife said I went from being the "fun uncle" to the "creepy pervert uncle" really fast....

I apologized but felt pretty bad about it. Don't know if I can show my face there next year now.

TL;DR - wore inappropriate apparel to holiday gathering and now I'm labeled a pervert by my in-laws.

Oh, Reddit. We thank you for bringing stories of Christmas fails into our lives.

A girl created 'Grandpa Bingo' to make the holidays more interesting for everyone but him.

For some, the holidays mean the undergoing the inevitable ramblings from your lovable but insane grandparents. Reddit user bitchytyphoon decided to make her own grandfather's antics something to look forward to by creating a BINGO game based on his most annoying utterances.

Finally, theres some fun to be had when grandpa "is racist."

The game works like regular BINGO, but instead of numbers and letters, the boxes are filled with predictable grandpa habits like "grumbles about people on welfare" or very specific quotes, like "Are you going steady with anyone?"

Wow. Sounds just like the kind of grandpa I used to have in my own home.

To play, bitchytyphoon explains that she, "sent everyone photos of their bingo card and we used a doodle app to just mark up bingo cards on our phones."

Despite making the game, bitchy typhoon says her sister was the first to get five in a row, although she "almost checked off every box!"

There's always next year.
