I remember getting into a fight with a friend in college over the whole wearing of band merch if you don’t care about the band. She was pushing this pink Rolling Stones t-shirt on me super hard, and I tried to explain that I would feel weird wearing it because I only listened to the Stones in passing and wouldn’t…
My husband is an ex-teacher. He had a kid named Ikea, because the parents were stuck in traffic behind an IKEA truck on the way to the hospital and the mom decided she liked it.
He did. Our basement, on the other hand, is a different story.
I did the same thing re: 2.
Will and Jada learned a very important lesson— there are some people you can’t joke about that kind of shit with. An off-handed joke from my husband is how we got stuck with an out-of-work alcoholic living in our basement for two years when his wife left him.
I would buy the shit out of that concept album.
That sounds awful. Fingers crossed things work out this time!
I had friends who split up but took about five or six years to officially divorce. I was secretly/selfishly hoping it meant they’d get back together, but it turned out they were both just lazy.
Our two dogs go nuts when the doorbell rings, so every year my husband and I sit outside for a couple hours with the candy bowl to keep them from stressing too much. Sometimes it’s really cold (we’re in Maryland) but it’s become a tradition I really enjoy— bring a couple beers and invite the neighbors (assuming they…
Yeah, there is no fucking way I’m watching the video version. My memories of reading it are enough to haunt me.
Two stories this year made me cry, but for totally different reasons:
It reminds me of a CSI episode from waaaay back about a guy who worked as a cable guy or something, so he had access to people’s homes while they were out, and set himself up in their attics and stalked and murdered women. That one messed me up when I saw it— much like this story did just now!
My husband used to have sleep paralysis when he was a kid, and the hallucinations about aliens coming to abduct and study him. I’m super glad he doesn’t get that anymore.
The still frame of the video is a tight shot on her eye, and we’re not going to mention Blade Runner? Come on, (electric) sheeple!
Smith has actually been pretty open about it, and has pledged to donate all residuals from his Weinstein-produced movies to the nonprofit Women in Film going forward.
Good point! I know a few stand-ups in my non-major city, and most of them are annoying in the same trying-too-hard/hot take way. In fact, I was just telling my husband that I unfriended one of them on Facebook for those exact reasons.
I love Arrested Development and have said “I think I just blew myself” in casual conversation as much as the next person, but I really can’t stand David Cross. He comes across as trying sooo hard to be edgy, like the story about him doing coke at the WHCD several years back, or his author bio in his book saying “He is…
Dude, the Horned King was scary as shit! It probably didn’t hurt that he was voiced by John Hurt.
