Ah. Good. Please don't try. PLEASE! I BEG YOU!

It'd be great if he inherited the old Rush Limbaugh stalwarts Mint Chew.
That'd be prior to the whole Snapple thing.

Hey, the Moog-Lear-Penzey-Pulaski fortune has spawned many journalists, who will tell you at length about synths, jets/8-track players, spices and half-axe/half-hoes.

I have definitely noticed that there's such thing as too much of it.

I often shop at Penzey's Spices in Portland. I had actually wondered if you were one of those Penzeys.

That typo, and the one about a Barry Manilow-penned Kenny and Dolly hit called "Ghetto Supastar."

Goldwater: In your heart, you know it's flat!

Water: WET!

Yes. You read that correctly.

Alt-rightism is weaponized trollery, Edgelord Supremacy. Because It Bothers People, It's Good.
Conservatives? There's actually all types.

That little "merely normal" thing you tossed in there makes you into a one-dimensional characterization.

The difference being what happens when you point this out to them.

Just so we're clear, who else do you think is creating useless and unnecessary division in society?

Hey, unless I asked you "What time is dusk?" I don't want to hear "At the end of the day…"

Yup. It has been mishandled enough by enough people that it can -at times- be read as Guy Telling Me Something I Don't Want To Hear.
Still, the portmanteau works better than the sentence. Brevity, y'all.

I'm a man who gets mansplained to all the time. In lieu of it being a class/race/gender dynamic, it falls on the side of Pest Being Pest.
Also, when I tell them to shut the fuck up, they will listen to me. Another difference.

I understand too that the one is societally sanctioned behavior, where the other is just Pests Being Pests, and indeed crosses gender lines freely.
I'd call it Momsplaining, but Dads do it too.

A little while ago when I finished "In Dubious Battle," I actually thought it could be made into a great movie, in the right hands.
And a little over a week later, I see that someone did -awright!- and it's James Franco! Ehhhh…

It's a not particularly controversial or new take on Hemingway, either. Vidal and Sondheim got there 40+ years ago,

Neither Solnit nor Nabin are to blame for the fact that both of their most famous contributions to the discussion are now argument enders rather than discussion-starters.
Like "privilege:" if you're sort of a lazy thinker who wants to win arguments, you toss that one out, and wait for the "erm"-ing to commence.
