Is Tom Cochrane that fucking "Life Is a Highway" guy? If so, he needs to be thrown into the Sarlaac pit.

Miss a beat, lose the rhythm.

He's just extremely stealthy and ruthlessly tenacious.

Thanksgiving is my absolute favorite holiday, and I genuinely pity people who don't celebrate it.

These are awesome! A loved one did this with a bunch of fellow-American students while they were in London, where it was just another Thursday. We did it one year with a Jewish friend who asked if she could join us in the post-Thanksgiving Christmas tree decorating. We don't usually put up a tree so early, but for her…

Plus, we haven't really found a way to commercialize it, so it's really only about the food, family, and gratefulness. Of course, if your family is terrible, I guess it's just like a shitty Christmas with no gifts.

I fought "pub" for a while for the same reason. But I will die on the barricades fighting against calling soccer "football" while standing on American soil, or on an American-registered ship at sea.

Yeah…about Schmidt…
