One of the disadvantages of being a chick is that clothing manufacturers are too damn lazy to figure out how long women's arms are, and so make more three-quarter sleeved shirts than any other kind. This means my forearms are cold all the time.
Seriously, I couldn't even find a cardigan with long sleeves last year.…

But… the show made them wear giant solid-colored shirt-sleeved shirts so that the viewing audience could readily determine which "team" they were on. This is because all white homeowners who are foolish enough to sign up to be on TLC shows look alike.
I don't remember actual people wearing shirts like that.

Birbiglia's special *is* great, and it is one of the few things I've read or seen lately that gave me a sense of hope. That said, is what he does stand-up? I guess it is, it's just that it seems so… gentle?

Right. After losing both legs to diabetes.

What you witnessed was probably a pepperoncino, or, more properly, a friggitello, not a jalapeño.
I ate a lot of Papa John's in the late 90s because it was before I knew the owner was gross, and because it was insanely cheap on my university's campus. They always had the pepper, and the weird garlic butter slime.

I don't see how the Seinfeld example you mention supports your argument—unless you are saying that Elaine was joking about the eating disorder thing. But the "women teasing someone until she loathes herself" thing seems like something many women actually do. It's part of why I've very few female friends. I don't need…

Whatevs. It's no "Cookie Disco."

Point taken. But he's an old old man, and he just doesn't seem punchable.

Metaphorically speaking, all of the United States?

Jimmy Carter?

Slightly off-topic, but I don't care. The day before Obama's 2009 inauguration, I was passing through DC on Amtrak. The train was filled with the most amazing variety of people—all ages, all colors. The excitement was palpable, and everyone was chatting with each other, just thrilled to be part of such a historic…

I adore Ferguson, but I don't know that he would say much about Trump. He didn't seem to like to talk politics.
I do miss him though, because he was both goofy and civil.

Michael Stipe's beard makes him look like a nineteenth-century dietary reformer who lectures people about proper mastication.
I sorta like it.

Perhaps she, like me, has enormous knuckles on otherwise skinny fingers. My ring spins around all the time, but if I wore a size down, I would not be able to get it over my gorilla knuckle.

Bong is his surname, actually. So he comes from a family of bongs.

On average, an American man will live to be about 76. So yes, 61 is fairly young to die—especially if that person is relatively well-off and has access to decent healthcare. Sixty-one is old to, say, become a first-time dad, but not to die.

They should just show the Princess Bride. Trump is like Prince Humperdinck and Bannon is Count Rugen. But like, Humperdinck is too smart and Rugen too unrepulsive for it to work.
I'm bad at metaphors. I just wanna watch The Princess Bride.

He's the co-creator of "Insecure," which is great, and produces "Black-ish," which I have not seen but seems to be doing OK for itself. Wilmore is too busy innovating to weep over not being the host of one of dozens of political comedy shows.

This seems a fair assessment. I live in Korea, and the people here mostly seem dismiss anything North Korea does as grandstanding unless 1. the Korean in question still has military obligations or 2. actual casualties are involved, as in the 2010 Cheonan sinking.

Right… I forgot to mention that part ^^
