The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

and it's like well okay, did you even TALK to the old dentist??? Didn't you hear about my Waterloo?

my old dentist was in his 70s and had the exact same accent as James Hong and on one visit he said "cavities are not your problem.... your gums will be your Waterloo." But he retired so I got a new dentist, I go and they're like your gums are fine but there's three spots that might become cavities

what is... the move here. you can't say "the Democrats are responsible for the shutdown" and also "we just figured out we don't need to pay anyone during the shutdown." I think people are gonna crack the code on who is responsible here

Johnson: "It's true that in previous shutdowns, many or most furloughed employees have been paid for the time they were furloughed, but there is new legal analysis - I don't know the details, I just saw a headline - but there are some legal analysts saying that might not be appropriate or necessary"

I guess it's kind of why a lot of stand-ups at that point go from like "I was standing in line at the dry-cleaners" to "here is a story from my childhood" or "I saw this on TV"

It is kind of hilarious that if you're a really good stand-up comedian you can get really rich and then all of a sudden you need to figure out how to write funny material while also being someone with like. A personal assistant

For a while I was a barback at one of the Joe coffee shops; they were really big on latte art so if someone fucked up the flower or whatever they would remake the drink. One shift I was like "okay every latte we would normally throw away im going to drink" and I almost died

a similar thing happened when i worked at (redacted chain bookstore) but it was butterfinger buzz candy bars and those suckers were a bad time for all of us but they were free so we kept eating them

One time when I was really broke and worked at Gawker someone left a bunch of caffeinated drink tablets they got in a promo thing on the table and I took like half a dozen tubes home and was strung out for a week.

"it's important to have a candidate that a certain percentage of Democratic voters just won't vote for. That's math. It's important that your candidate has already indicated that they will NOT fight for the vulnerable"

It's easy for the cryptkeeper to sit there and moralize. Make his little puns about our transgressions. All he needs to do is take care of his damn crypt. His life is simple
