Hard tickets were the best. The slide into ~whatever this is~ coincides with the elimination of paper tickets. Future historians will agree. Here’s one from Graceland in Seattle, the inimitable Wesley Willis on January 12, 2002.

Let us, you and I, train the Boy Scouts of America to light up dem warehouses. Lesser charges, one would assume, as a minor. Promotes civic mindedness, a special merit badge could be crafted.

There was a storefront not far from my abode that advertised “$10 psychic readings” and I was going to go last birthday and, Idk what happened, but I didn’t go. And now it’s papered-up. I will always regret not stopping in for a ten dollar read.

Reminded that airports scan individuals’ walk for identification purposes (and if we know that what DON’T we know) I’ve always considered throwing a couple peoples in my shoes before coursing through an aeroport to fuck w their data

The prospect of a long weekend without the lovely Wife or the charming Boy is akin to a school kid confronting the unknowable expanse of summer, imagining great and complex adventures and treasures, to then blink into September and remember only ice cream, sunsets, and baseball.

It would be very funny if the next president Eminent Domains his stupid golf courses. I’m sure an excavation will find figurative and literal skeletons.

Let us, you and I, start a fund for the first reporters to address the Felon as Demented Don. I got a 5$ on it.

While in “the holy land”:"The boiling point of water is 100 degrees
Celsius [212F]," al-Bursh said. "When a body is exposed to energy exceeding 3,000 de-grees combined with massive pressure and oxidation, the fluids boil instantly. The tis-sues vaporise and turn to ash. It is chemically inevitable."

Team USA Curler Rich Ruohonen:
"We'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention what's going on in Minnesota...I am a lawyer, as you know, and we have a constitution... and what's happening in Minnesota is wrong. There's no shades of gray. It's clear."
