The “sprouts related trauma” was that all our mothers knew to do with them was steam or boil them, right? Because my wife loves brussels sprouts, so I made them for her the way my mom made them for me (steamed) and she said “what’s wrong with you? Don’t ever do that again.” So I learned how to sauté and roast them.

“...he had one scheduled with Jeffrey Toobin, but Toobin said he was “beat”.

DON’T Use the term Journalist.. That Bloated Black Barf Bag of BM is as much of a journalist as Sean Hannity. He’s a provocateur, a rabble rouser, and notable only because he’s so full of shit.. but Journalist?.. HHAHAHAHAHAHA... don’t insult the craft.

The sad thing is, the ham hock is right. A lot of us black men do seem to see him as representing masculinity and the patriarchy. He’s right to call out the men who glorify that shit as part of the problem.

Apparently it’s “masculine” to whine non-stop, out loud, all day, to anyone who will listen.

I highly recommend the last option. After going back in time warning my other self, we ended up both quite frustrated because the unfinished job.

Oooooh, I feel the Meet Joe Black double hit-and-run is up there with the Prop Guy for the Most Inadvertently Hilarious Movie Deaths Of The 90s award:

Blowing smoke up someone’s ass was literally blowing smoke up someone’s ass.

Hell yeah! Another way to look at it is: “Boring” sounds really damn amazing after 4 years of Trump “excitement”. I’m exhausted by the excitement and want the soothing boringness of the old white guy who has a decent heart but sometimes says dumb shit. Who hasn’t sometimes said dumb shit, really? 

I won too. I forgot these were on, ate pizza, drank wine and watched Law & Order SVU. It was one of those episodes were Rollins’ trashy family members came up from Atlanta and OD’d all over the place. 

Trump is not a crazy uncle. The crazy uncle is fun because he’s harmless and goes home after he runs out of beer.

I didn’t watch Trump because his type of tv is crap and always has been crap.

He would have gone out to the tobacco store for a minute and never come back, after he had pocketed the necklace of course.

I imagined an extremely long marriage where she let her husband know every single day that he was a consolation prize.

I’m not surprised Titanic won over LA Confidential, but there’s no denying that LAC is an absolutely perfect film without a single misstep.

I know I just wrote a long self indulgent post below, but if you will indulge me one more I want to say why I have always liked Good Will Hunting. The story of how me and my wife fell in love is kind of similar to the “Have to go see about a girl” story Robin Williams tells in the movie.

My wife and I always laughed at when Rose got to Heaven, she just went straight for Jack and ignored the husband she made a life with?

L.A. Confidential, Men in Black, Grosse Point Blank, Boogie Nights, and Gattaca all came out in 1997 too. And I’m one of those people who even liked Fifth Element and Face/Off. We went to the movies almost weekly in 1997.

True story: my brother and I,both in our 20s, went home for a weekend and took our mom to see this movie. When propeller guy plonked, I bent forward, looking to my right (our mom was sitting between us), and found my brother was also bent forward, looking towards me, and we both had the same shit-eating grins on our…
