Why was the invisible man never seen with his friends when he was a teen?
Disappear pressure.

At my nephew's wedding (last November) my teenage niece, Clever Niece, (younger half-sister of the groom) really wanted to hear "Uptown Girl", but being "on the spectrum", didn't want to talk to the DJ herself, so I went and requested it. When the Chicken Dance was played, she said "This got played before Uptown Girl?…

It's great, isn't it.

Yeah, but I don't like that song.

There is a ghost in "Hamlet," though Scooby-Doo and the gang show at the end that it was really Fortinbras.

I have a T-shirt that says "Feminist Illuminati", but I'm not actually an Illuminata.

I am a great fan of Jane Addams.

All men profess honesty as long as they can. To believe all men honest would be folly. To believe none so is something worse. - John Quincy Adams (July 11, 1767 – February 23, 1848)

Not likely if these guys spend their weekends chasing Pokemon.

Osiris and I took our dogs to Audubon Park, and were noticing people playing Pokemon GO. The Grrrrrl and I were a little ahead of Osiris and Old Buddy. To two young men, I said "Gotta catch 'em all, man." One of them answered "Yeah!" As they passed Osiris and Old Buddy, one of them was saying to the other "That was…

Poverty cannot deprive us of many consolations. It cannot rob us of the affection we have for each other, or degrade us in our own opinion, of in that of any person, whose opinion we ought to value. – Ann Radcliffe (9 July 1764 – 7 February 1823)

When I was on "Jeopardy", I correctly replied "What is hasenfeffer?"

Louis Jordan (July 8, 1908 – February 4, 1975)

I told Osiris, "I hope one of the douche's opponents today is the second coming of Julia Collins." Bonnie may not turn out to be a Julia, but she is a smart, good player (without stepping on Trebek's lines), and she beat the douche.

I am commenting RE the actress named Sugar Lyn Beard, because my Pop calls me "Sugar Lynn" (though I can't quite spell it the way Pop says it - "Shugah" is close). My middle name is Lynn and my real first name is, let's say, similar to "Sarah", though it's so uncommon that my namesake and I are the only people I know…

First Osiris said "Matt needs to slow down", but it wasn't long before we'd both determined Matt is a douche. When Matt got the DD, I said "double down and don't know it!" By the end of DJ, I was TJ's biggest fan.
