I’m usually reading 2 to 3 short story collections at a time and I try to read one story from each every night.

What about a band that does sea shanty covers of R&B songs called Bell Biv DeYoHoHo?

I wish that this was just DOOM retiring... taking off the mask and walking away letting the persona “die”. It would be very in character.

Goddamn it, Anti Matter is such a good song.  So sad to hear of his passing.

“Take Me To Your Leader” was my introduction to Doom. It’s only after I listened to the album that a friend recommended “Madvillainy”. Then again his entire discography was lyrical gold man. Truly one of the greatest. His obscurity only becomes evident when people commenting on media outlets reporting/mourning Doom’s…

Vaudeville Villain is the one for me, but man, he had a discography to fucking envy

Sounds like the Who’s Who list they were pushing back in high school. My older sister really wanted to be in it, and thought it was a great honor to be asked. My parents looked at it, saw that they wanted money to be on the list, and told my sister it was a scam. She did not do it, but several of her friends did, and…

Funny. I just this week received an email AND voicemail concerning my nomination (anonymous) as a local “CEO of the Year”. My profile would be featured in “CEO Magazine”. After a little research I found that “CEO Magazine” is not “The CEO Magazine”. I also needed to pay for the amount of story they printed. $2400 for…

I honestly have no idea. I’m shockingly very good at not cursing around him but how he didn’t pick it up elsewhere is beyond me.

The answer is rich people. Full stop. If the Kardashians want to shell out an exorbitant amount of cash so they can go back to posting instagram pictures on private islands, you can bet big pharma will pry the vaccines from the hands of our health care workers.  

Ivanka’s.

Seriously, Indiana - you’re supposed to be looking up candy, not local politicians!

I was going to say salads. Particularly in summer, when it’s hot as balls at 5 am, there’s nothing as nice for breakfast as a nice, crisp salad.

A “BELT” - BLT with a fried egg - has long been one of my favorite breakfasts. Felt like I invented it, one hungover Sunday morning in college, but quickly found out that I was far from the first to be so inspired.

I take the position of “stay out of it unless there is a safety concern.” It’s actually a giant pet-peeve of mine when parents at a gathering leave their kids in a room with other adults without saying anything and just assume they become a defacto babysitter. I’ve commented on this site in the past about it saying…

The stupid shit that people said to me was jaw dropping. No, ma’am, this is not a time for you to tell me about Jesus when you know I’m Jewish.

The older I get, the more I realize shutting the fuck up is a skill. I’ve never experienced your loss, but I remember when my dad died, the truly stupid and well-meaning comments were astounding.

I’m a non-profit fundraiser and Dad died the weekend before the event, a gala auction/dinner. I told the committee chair and…

If more people would take heed to this pearl of wisdom, what a wonderful world it would be...

It’s been about 40 years, but you just made me realize why my parents “tested” some of my candy.
