i admit i'm biased in favor of novelty but i prefer them to the Hims ads and car insurance commercials

i would bet money the insanely scammy survival food kit commercials that walk viewers step by step through "what is a qr code" and "how do i scan a qr code with my dang phone" are the most profitable commercials in the playoffs

I'm excited for Limp Bizkit, but I'm a little worried about Antifa...
Question
I'm sick and tired of seeing these thugs terrorize big events and am worried that they will try to interrupt Limp Bizkit's set. My gf (F19) and I (M31) are going to our first Lollapalooza and are concerned about the growing threat around the city

regardless of tonight's phillies vs dodgers outcome, i've got jokes about admiral yamamoto getting shot down, the battleship yamato running out of gas, the USS Philadelphia getting burned, the Philadelphia Incident, and New Orleans Class cruisers getting scrapped all locked in and ready to go

landing a zinger of a joke in a slide deck, while on one level a humiliating admission of one's own cultural lameness and irrelevancy, nonetheless hits when you remember being Workplace Funny pays pretty good

while i still like a dirty martini, the biggest personal cocktail mixing success i've had in years was crodino mixed with a dash of simple syrup, lemon rum and a sweet vermouth that put it over the top so i'm cosigning the overall gist of this piece
