One thing about humans that I find fascinating is how the sense of smell is tied to memories. The scent sawdust produces always reminds me of my grandfather who did carpentry. Pretty much everything about woodworking reminds me of him and I instantly time-travel (Yes, Please) back to summers at my grandparent's house…
Playing fetch with my dog is useless most of the time. We have to bring out five or six Frisbees now otherwise she just grabs them all and doesn't let go. She can fit four tennis balls in her mouth.
Also from these dudes.... and kind of better.
At first when you said "particularly choice excerpts", I was afraid you were being sarcastic and I was cringe-reading. And then I got very happy. Terry Crews for President.
Yeah, I didn't grow up poor but this complaint is still grating. Even most folks in my graduating class didn't have this particular existential crisis because we couldn't get paying white-collar jobs at all, much less inspiring ones.

But I needed health insurance, was on COBRA, and had to work my ass off just to afford my COBRA premiums.

Matt Lauer's face after that comment was amazing
Also during this interview, Rock talks about how he's happy with his success: "Yes, it's amazing. I love being famous. It's almost like being white."
I have a dream that one day gang rapists will be treated more harshly than shoplifters.
I meant something that actually works.
Clayton (where the grand jury and county HQ are) is locked down with national guard troops. Shaw (where the highway stoppage happened) has roads blocked with street detours and armed police for a planned protest on I-44. Ferguson is keeping the police out and being allowed to burn. They either want to punish the…
My local news station (WINK news, SWFL) actually did make a point of saying that while there is violence, looting, and fire, it is NOT indicative of all of the protestors, many who are peaceful. I was pleasantly surprised.
On twitter from some Americans there is more outrage about protesters burning the American flag than there is about innocent black lives being taken. Probably an unpopular opinion but i am glad they burnt it.
