Strongly agreed that it's a "end this date asap, express no desire for another date" moment when your date treats wait staff like indolent slaves. As to Dan and the female body… I guess you can't teach a hammer to love nails, even when the hammer should at least have great respect for the nail.

I will admit: that is delightfully weird

Shitdemic: Shat and Eewww

I didn't think I'd see someone do the same, or exceed it, so soon after W… I certainly hoped I wouldn't.

"you remind me of me, kid… you'reterrible at your job."

What, you mean the Empire State Building isn't the Dark Tower?

The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises is what I thought

"…They're better off without you, Rest In Tumult"

Yeah, I haven't seen someone turn everything they touch to shit since… the President before Obama, the one our current PresidentPredisent pretends never existed so he can tall about Clinton and Obama ruining the country, despite 8 fallow years of Republican rule.

Wow, somehow his story for even crazier. I couldn't have predicted that

I think I used the same trick for remembering the difference between red-orange and orange-red. For other diphthongs, I had to go by memory like the "eu" in "Freud"

Look at the new headline AVC gave this article. One could always say that Scaramucci just did what his boss has been doing since before the election

I mixed the I and the e - I still should've known better, as I was taught a few things about German vowels and the order they go in. I also probably could've remembered that that has to do with shooting. And I suppose I've always mixed "straum" and "sturm"

Admittedly, I only ever hear German, not see how it's spelled. Also, that damned double s that is a B keeps tripping me up! It's the linguistic equivalent of your nose, Dikachu

I can also suggest "America: The Unprivileged Being Fooled Into Helping the Hyper-Privileged Screw Everyone Else Over"

Especially of late

Shit. Shit is what happening. I've always been proud to be American, but damn if it hasn't been uh complicated since the election

Excellent writing, Ms. Rife. I bet all those people don't take the same attitude of god's will when one of their kids is born with a defect or something
