Draconian? Yep. But how frickin dumb do you have to be to try to get weed through an airport security checkpoint in something disguised to look like something else they wouldn't let you through with anyway? That's like trying to smuggle a crack pipe that looks like a gun.

Neither am I. Grew up in Pittsburgh, sister went to uni in Buffalo, moved to Atlanta at 24 and been here since.

It’s the only way to make the gefilte fish tolerable!

Throw some salted parsley in there and now we’re talking.

My husband and I grew up outside of NYC. He was raised Catholic, me, Lutheran. We both have this abiding love of Matzoh with butter and other spreads that my two California kids find really strange. And which makes my Jewish friend’s Bubbe call us a bunch of crazy goyim because yeah, its a food of suffering.

Well, sure, although I have no idea how they LOST money selling condos in this market. But here we are.

I’ve long been of the firm belief that any sport with a salary cap should also have a gross-up mechanism negotiated into the CBA to level the after-tax salary cap (agnostic on whether it should also include indexing to local cost of living).

Imagine the version of yourself that lives in the parallel universe where you don’t take t.v. so personally, and how frustrated and sad they would be if they found out about you.

“I don’t get it. At all. He’s kind of a large kicker. I mean, what am I missing? Am I crazy?”

You’re 500 love handles in the wind. 

Up in kicker heaven, here’s the deal
