There's a certain comfort to suicide. To knowing that no matter how bad things get, you can always check out. That does not include the feelings of anyone close to you, though.

"Special needs" is equally condescending and grammatically awkward.

I was at that show. I was with a guy in a wheelchair so we got to see the concert from a special set of risers.

I was pissed back in 1991 when my dad wouldn't let me go to a Primus/Fishbone concert alone. He told me that he heard Dave Brubeck was coming to town and we'd go see him. Thanks, Dad. They're pretty much the same thing.

More like "Sir-shuh."

Sounds like a Muppet Babies episode.

Everyone knows the only women guys go for are super-thin blondes who look like blowup dolls. Except me, because I'm the Special Sensitive Guy who falls in love with Lisa Loeb types and would have been the perfect boyfriend for Claire Danes in that Soul Asylum video where she's somehow the ugly girl until she gets

Tarantino.

I'm a time traveler from the year 1988. Is this "gluten" anything like alar or those cyclamates I've read about in old MAD magazines? And will eating oat bran cure it?

Instead of chewing gum, chew bacon!
