I could see that if they were close to having the scores they could believe they got in on “intangibles” or “oh you must have really impressed them at the interview” or something like that. And aboiut being registered as an athelete: it’s really easy to believe there’s been an administrative mix-up since they aren’t…

I considered it at the time - but there just isn’t the money in being a bottom-shelf liquor spokesperson that I thought there would be. 

By the third example it was just depressing. 

They failed to teach their kids to work at anything - because they weren’t willing to put the effort in to actually, y’know, parent. 

The kid who wants to get the better score on the ACT is my favorite - she’s got drive!

So he writes an angry note on the bill, sometimes tearing it in the process, pays a half of what the bill says, and then usually pays the balance, including late fees, a…

When I was on my HOA board for a few years I was all about reminding people that we could disolve if things got to wild. I also lobbied for having the gates taken down. 

This is one of my favorite comedies ever. I was so lucky to grow up with a VCR and this (and The Court Jester). 

“Weasel” is underused as an insult and I’m pleased to see it here because it is perfect for Stone. 

If there isn’t a paper trail that can be followed by the average high school graduate it’s not going to do a thing. 

I can no longer wear heels because of a back injury and it is bliss. And when people comment on my “comfortable shoes” I don’t mention the injury I just say “yeah, I just don’t see the point of blinding pain anymore.”
