I have a manual cookie press. It's vintage (my grandmother's) it looks cool as shit and it's a huge pain in the fucking ass. I would love to squirt cookies out with that gizmo. You need a cookie press for certain kinds of cookies where the dough is very soft. I make cream cheese cookies every Christmas that look like…

There has to be something very specific to this. My daughter has one to two private schools in Manhattan and I can say with 100% certainty they don't receive these funds.

Telling kids they are anything in a way that makes that thing seem immutable is bad news.

YES. There is no King of Prussia... only Mall.

All the this.

I’m about three months in and it’s habit now. You’d have to hold me at gunpoint to make me ball up a t-shirt and throw it into my beautiful drawer. If I can keep from back-sliding, I’m pretty sure anyone can.

Which is why "boob armor" will freaking kill you.

Wes alum here and wow, do I hate seeing this. I am all for college students working themselves into a lather about anything and everything - I pretty much consider that their job - but shutting down a discussion and bullying opposing voices into silence is the polar opposite of what I would expect from my beloved alma…

Don't they know that he could be gobbled up by a Vermicious Knid at any moment?

Catcher Block? You mean ladies' man, man's man, man about town?

Eh, this is no different from the scooter fad. I emphatically salute anyone who cares more about having an easy (and eco-friendly) way to get to work than looking like a dork. If you’re willing to risk your melon on the NYC streets, bike paths, park drives vaya con Dios, little business man.

The fancy-pants gluten-free bakery around the corner from me on 1st avenue just closed down. I declare the fad over. Also, did the “broccoli is a treat” kid look anything like this?

WITNESSED!

Picture this: sitting in an IMAX theater next to your best friend waiting to see a superhero movie. The preview for The Walk comes on, racing up the side of the WTC. Your best friend was at Ground Zero and goes into a full PTSD episode. Add to this the fact that this stunt was literally the height of self-indulgence…

I totally believe they have a very deep connect

I worked at a software company for 12 years then quit when my daughter was born. They said they were very sorry to see me go... so three years later I called them back up and told them I’d be willing to come back part-time. Looking back, I think part of the reason they agreed so quickly was that I wasn’t even sure I…

Ah yes, “shrill”. Right up there with “bossy” and “aggressive”. Thank goodness he keeps reminding us how much he cherishes us or I might have taken this the wrong way.

Brimstone was awesome.

Oh no, I got that! I’m just curious now about when it was used sincerely vs. sarcastically. I was wondering if both were true at the same time or the sarcastic usage came later.

That’s crazy! The original expression is nautical, “jury-rigged”. It means a temporary rigging put up when the mast has been damaged. The “jury” is the temporary mast.
