Wow, I’m so very, very, very sorry for all of the things that I’ve done to oppress you. Where do I send the reparations check? When you send me that, I’ll send you the address where you can pay me for the Caribbean slave mills where Irish women were bought for 20% of the cost of an African slave, and were used to…

Lot of that going around lately. I wonder what the official definition of ‘white’ is these days, since a small continent of dozens of disparate cultures is solely responsible for all of the worlds problems. I’m sure my Irish immigrant ancestors could have really benefited from the slaves they didn’t own when their…

I got ID’d for smokes at Walgreens yesterday. I’m in the mid/late 30’s range with plenty of grey in the beard. I looked at her sideways, produced ID, then saw her card the mid-60’s gentleman behind me. Sometimes just a tiny bit of power is enough to set off the dictator gene in shitty people.

If you go to a divey movie theater in Pasadena, TX. . . don’t wear a watch. Or have a wallet.

I skipped the bulk of the article (which I will go read after posting) to give my untainted reason for pirating video games:

Yellow shell casings on the rounds, as in not shot or slug. Probably LTL beanbag or possibly something chemical. They’ve only got 8 episodes like last season, no “flexible-yet-indestructible” bond a la Rust and Marty, a presumed antagonist (Vaughan) that’s not the villain, and less of the clear cut seemingly…

If some accountant sauntered in after Captain America left and handed a bill to the parents, that’s douche. Short of that, if a kid is in trouble and wants a visit from Captain America, how can it possibly be wrong for Cap to show up? They’re not preying on the marketing angle, and they’re an entertainment enterprise…

Doloros Edd is one of the few characters equally cool on the show and in the books. Also, that’s WunWun!!! That giant kicks ass!!!! Glad he made the show!

Exactamundo! Pride gets you punched in the face. Looking sideways at the old lady gets you ventilated. Interfering with the revenue stream gets you blown away. And, as always, snitches get stitches. I’m guessing the only sounds in that convention center with 170 arrested bikers were the increasingly frustrated…

My dad’s friend scored me a backstage pass to Farm Aid ‘95 when I was 17. I ended up behind the stage as the only random kid in a group consisting of Willie Nelson, Neil Young, Steve Earle, and Eddie Vedder with their friends. I got my pass signed by all of them, which was amazing, but the theme of the conversation…

My uncle, the same one that took me to a Led Zeppelin show in 1978, when I was an infant and he was supposed to be babysitting, is a lifelong Aerosmith fan. From his stories, I can confirm that they treat their fans right. He’s on a first name basis with everyone in the band, has been on tour and on vacation with…

Dear Shirley Perkins,

If she's the right answer, I'll pay my own expenses to take care of that situation, and that's before I found out that she could sing. You can totally see Grey Worm praying harder than he'd ever done anything for his balls to grow back in that river. . .
