Deeply retired
Not a novel, actually, but “The Wager” by David Grann. Also, Doctorow’s “The March” which I read for the first time. Many others as well including several re-reads, but these are the ones that stand out.

Good work. If he left it behind, the Shi’ite might’ve hit the fan.

It’s always been Oscar. What does that tell you about me?

So somebody read this over two or three times, then thought “fuck it, Edward Woodward already said he’d do it”.

I also think that all the sex things that they reportedly do, would be a welcome diversion from the six o’clock news.

Caught that kid pretty square on the fist with his chin.

He might poop his pants, and we know that washing one’s own bung is gay. So I foresee some problems.

It’s probably best not to let your daughter sit on his lap. Everybody knows what Santa Trump wants in his stocking.

That could’ve been me. I can’t believe I forgot to scatter debris all over the Caribbean.

It played for two weeks at a drive in where I worked as a kid. Some of the employees would meet in the front and smoke grass until the light show, then we’d go back to work high as kites. Great fun.

He doesn’t even have to worry about anybody understanding his speeches.

He knows from personal experience: you slap an enormous bandage on your ear, and in a day or two it’ll be like nothing ever happened.

They “believe” it was cut down deliberately? Is it possible that someone standing near the tree while holding a running chainsaw, tripped or stumbled and cut it down accidentally?

If my wife ever referred to me as “my man” I believe I would choke on whatever I happened to be eating at that moment.

In the interest of being consistent, we should be able to see the effect in about two weeks.

“Went to Dartmouth” and “not stupid” is a false equivalency. As evidence, let me offer “Trump went to Fordham”.

Just imagine George Washington starting anything by saying “if I’m honest”.
