I still imitate Joey Buttafuoco - it got a lot more laughs 20 years ago but I can’t help myself. Now I just get blank looks unless my sister is around.

Along with the camp, there’s a certain amount of nostalgia. I remember watching this scandal unfold in real time with my mom.

It surprises me that people even remember this incident at this point. But I will say, back in the day when someone brought it up and mocked Nancy, I went ape shit on them. Because it was certainly not her fault that someone clubbed her, and how else should an Olympic athlete have reacted to her dreams potentially…

Because Gillooly!

Does Idris Elba know to carry two pens while on vacation? Does he??

I will never, ever not get “The Queen Is Dead” running through my head when I see a reference to the Daily Mail, but you might expect that from a person with my Kinja handle.

We need to stop with heaping this ridiculous criticism of Emily Shire. In the same piece you criticize, she mentions her desire for a Two State Solution. If you wanna say that some (hell, maybe many) Zionists are too extreme and uncompromising, sure. But Emily Shire is not one of them. Her piece is a direct reaction…

Maybe I’m just jaded from working in a corporate environment too long but this is fairly straight forward to me.

Yeah it wasn’t the worst corporate kiss-off letter I’ve ever seen, but it was kinda like...

Fuck is a Glixel

This reads like a pretty typical upper management email related to an acquisition.

Translation: I sold the company to a bunch of cost-cutting, miserable bastards who will probably shit-can the lot of you and replace everyone with hand-picked toadies. But on the bright side, I made a huge pile of cash!

So basically “we’re sorry your job’s going away, but on the bright side I’ll have more money”?

I often wonder what has changed in the last 25-30 years that women passed out at social events, concerts, parties, and so on has become so routine.
