PR sellout. I like being outside and hate sitting. The views expressed on this page do not reflect blah blah blah.
I resolve to stop quote-skeeting.

I'd still rather have him on the Cubs than Matt Shaw.

Listening to my Mom talk to my nearly-deaf uncle on speaker every morning is going to be my villain origin story.

I think it's bad that the country is led by people who haven't had a real problem in their entire lives and couldn't get a regular job due to being too weird

For about ten years I've thought about what a Tom Waits TV Christmas special produced in the early 80s would have been like. It's almost real to me. The set is a Depression-era shack he built and a stream of celebrity hobos keep knocking on the door and Tom goes "I wOnDEr WHo tHaT cOuLd bE"

The listed times for sporting events should be the actual time the game starts, not when the broadcast starts.
Let’s air those grievances. I want to hear your pettiest gripes on this the holiest of days.

I like being an uncle for the holidays because: Mom and dad are responsible, and will discipline you. Grandpa and Grandma are indulgent, and will coddle you. But the uncle... the uncle is unpredictable. The niece and nephew cannot know what the uncle will do, because the soul of the uncle is CHAOS

A male rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) in winter plumage.
Ptarmigan is from Gaelic 'tarmachan' meaning "croaker". The p- was added when people mistakenly assumed it was a Greek word.
A bird forever warning people: "A werewolf!" (just in case of werewolves).

Where did we suddenly get this idea as a society that being good at a skill or a hobby should take *less* time and *less* effort? The time spent doing the thing, then tinkering with and improving the thing and in the process getting better at the thing is the enjoyable part of the exercise!

This is also how every university marketing department talks about their school.
I love when politicians say things like "The people of (insert locality here) are special because they (most generic thing you've ever heard of)."
