+1 deadly bar fight

I am shocked and appalled that Team Diagonal didn’t even get a look in on the staple question. It’s clearly superior! A diagonal staple gives you the best chance of not ripping or snagging any of the pages as you turn them. Otherwise your whole thing turns into a goddamn mess.

Ugh. Really, dude?

Jeez, Brooklyn, you called the cops AND a news chopper for a loose cow? In most parts of the country a loose cow is just Tuesday. That cow doesn’t deserve to be arrested!

I don’t know why anything surprises me anymore, but this did.

My brother worked at a zoo in high school. One day he wasn’t quick enough with the otter’s food bowl and the little shit sank its teeth into his leg. He still has a scar.

Well, I’m a fac brat, which puts me a little closer to it. I lived on boarding school campuses my entire childhood. My parents were teachers at small New England boarding schools in the 1970s - where they met and married - so there is a chance that they might have heard about this.
