Here’s my personal “myths” about the stock market, I’ll let you (or any other experts here) debunk them:

This one wierd trick?

That was a lot of work to put in just to end up kinda looking like a dick.

Are we going to go back and argue the “one drop” thing all over again?

“I don’t wanna know about your junk!”
“Yes you do. It has been so since the Greeks.”

“...and rest your head comfortably against her leg while never missing a lick.”

I’m a very casual gamer. The last time I bought a game off the shelf at the store, when I installed it made me download and play through Steam. I’m sure the package said that, and there’s probably a way around it, but I really don’t even want to play the game enough to bother with any of that. “Don’t buy games!” you…

Nasty, murky, scuzzy brown? Was he attacked by a mushroom when he was a child? Those are angry words for simple fungus. Some dishes benefit from the color. I think the idea that it turns the food muddy tasting is all in some mushroom hater’s head.

Come on Hallmark channel, sign on to this!

“As a linguist I disagree with the idea that people think...” Really? Linguist? You disagree with an idea of what people think about? An idea you constructed out of some astonishing rhetorical hyperbole (that means exaggeration) since it appears nowhere in the article.

I’ve been married thirty years: I don’t have to imagine criticism in my 0lady’s voice.

I watched the Mark Wahlburg movie The Gambler the other day. Okay movie, but it contains the best life advice I’ve ever heard in my life. Frank the scary dangerous loan shark (John Goodman in his best role since Walter pulled a gun on Smoky) says, “a wise man lives his life from a position of fuck you.” Then he…

I had this cool moment with the guys in my band the other day when we realized not only are we awesome musicians but between us we have construction, woodworking, plumbing, welding, fabricating, computering, linguistic (Spanish, German, English, Old Norse), electrical and electronical skills, not to mention dabbling…
