Ben Stiller and Janeane Garofolo wrote a book like this way back in the 90’s. I remember enjoying that one, though I was a teenager at the time.

Whenever I watch those kinds of flops, I always wonder how much mind-control it takes to literally hurl yourself onto a hardwood floor, knowing it will be relatively painful.
He could defend you from under a beach umbrella, hundreds of miles away, sight unseen, by communicating defensive instructions to a Roomba over the phone.
Travel!
Fassbender and Cotillard doing Macbeth? I’m all about that.
You know what? Fuck it, I like making lists, especially ordinal rankings. These things get mocked all the time (“Oh, good, another end-of-year Best Of List,”) but I get a kick out of them.
Without defending Franzen or Freedom (which was...fine, I guess, if boring as hell), I will say that the last two phone sex quotes are supposed to be ridiculous and gross. That part of the book is all about how pathetic and out-of-touch the teenage son is getting, and the phone sex stuff is supposed to illustrate his…
I feel like Andrelton is a serious snub here.
Last week I went to a Rhiannon Giddens show and it was great- she’s amazing and it was a good crowd. But I can’t shake the fuddy-duddy side of me that comes back with, “Yeah, they played all the songs you can listen to on your phone whenever you want, it took two and a half hours, you had to listen to a crummy opener…
His own site, perhaps?
I think David needs another one of those published e-mail conversations with Gail Collins. She can tell him he’s being a whining 10th grader in her gentle, inimitable fashion.
Bianchi is spending a lot of time with the Hot Take Columnist’s dearest friend, the one-sentence paragraph.
I don’t hate it, but...Spider-Man 2. Tobey McGuire got so much praise for his “restrained, subtle” performance, and I kept thinking, “This isn’t restrained or subtle. It’s just bad.”
The scene on the elevated train always gets me, though.
I feel like Brady and NPH are just checking out the Apple Watch, not committing to it. Surely a little mild curiosity and experimentation doesn’t condemn them for life?
He made it very clear from the beginning that this was to be a Very Special Episode, urging young listeners to “demand that your high school or college or even junior high teacher or history professor play this podcast for your class.”
I’ve been thinking along those lines too, and not just in reference to Mariota and Winston. We always talk about quarterbacks as “building blocks,” but it’s hard to lay the foundation when your team is a dumpster fire. Why use a precious high-level first round pick on a young QB who’ll need some sort of support system…
I wanted to use Obama’s reading of “Sure baby you can have my number” from the Dreams of my Father audiobook, but I never figured out how to convert it into a ringtone.
The Firehouse Italian is just insanely good. So moist.
“Are there any circumstances in which someone is obligated to have sex with you?” is the other one.
There’s an OKCupid question along the lines of, “Would you grope an attractive stranger on a crowded subway train? In this scenario, the person wouldn’t know that you had groped them or that they had even been groped at all.”
Answers to that question make for an excellent way of immediately disqualifying certain…
