I’m not saying that the idea doesn’t have merit. It’s a great idea.  My original comment might have come across as completely negative. 

what do you do when you’ve set this expectation up with your kid, and you arrive at an experience that there is no relevant YouTube video for them to watch? 

Doesn’t matter, he was (in the parlance of a former IT director of mine) turned into an “Escaped goat”

There is literally no way to execute this surreptitiously without coming off like an asshole.  

How to avoid spreading: “Don’t shit in the pool”

one of Holmes’ attorneys, Kevin Downey, complained that “I don’t even know what a gigabyte of data is. My guess is if you print it out it would fill up this entire room.”

They’re responsible for nearly all of the United States’ stinging deaths, Alabama Extension entomologist Xing Ping Hu said in a blog post.

He claimed 72 percent of Aston Martin’s current customer base already owns a crossover, which probably means Aston should have started marketing crossovers to these people a long time ago.

Fuck these people.  That’s all I got...

Typically the people who win (i.e. those people who play) the lottery are people who aren’t the best at managing money, and also are of the opinion that money can fix everything.

sure, but I said that makes it worth it alone. Using it all year round to get free shipping when we don’t make the minimum is just gravy.  

Christmas shopping. It’s worth it for that, alone. The last few years we’ve reduced the amount of “in person” shopping that we’ve needed to do at the mall, etc. by about 90%. Not having to deal with that B.S. has reduced holiday stress significantly.

So. Fucking. This.

Have the designers of this product actually been to a school? It’s fucking loud. Schools are not places where mindlessly obedient children silently saunter from one class to the next, and eat lunch in quiet tones. Kids are noisy, sometimes they sound like a murder is actually happening.

Not really for you specifically Nick, but while we’re talking about “better” podcasts.  If anyone out there is thinking about starting the “next big” true crime podcast, please, for the love of christ, don’t.
