I love you because I am you. I am not above acting like a complete idiot to get my way. I was a window seat on a flight once and the dude in the middle seat kept manspreading into my zone, with his large hands perched atop his knees. As soon as the seatbelt light went off, I dropped my tray. When it stopped 75% of the…

Bullshit! You give the people in front of you an opening to step out, get their stuff, and exit before you. Sometimes they’ll wave you ahead. Then, and only then, can you exit the plane before someone who was seated in front of you.

One important omission is: Never actually roll your “roll aboard” onto the plane. Ever. It’s going to take you twice as long as someone carrying because you’re bumping every row as you go and it also likely means you’re going to need help to put it in the overhead. If you need to roll it, then check it.

Some people can’t help invading your space due to size, and that’s just the risk you take when you fly.

Christ, people. Use your libraries; you’re already paying for them.

I have been on the third page, second paragraph of Gravity’s Rainbow for exactly 1 year and 3 days now

“Why is the news so relentlessly negative!”

I can understand wanting to swap 3 and 4 and 6 and 7. Really, for me, 3 just edged out 4, and 6 just edged out 7. As great as First Contact is, The Voyage Home just edges it out in my mind because it’s such a fun and quirky time travel movie that it can actually give Back to the Future some competition in that area.…

To each his own I guess. Me? I prefer watching Kobe dribble for 15 seconds in isolation, slowly trying to back the defender down as the eight other men on the court stand around doing nothing.

For a lot (not all!) of these people, marriage isn’t the finish line. Because next the competition is about the wedding, then the honeymoon, then pregnancy, followed by years of children. And a lot (not all!) of these over-sharing, appearance/competition obsessed people do not seem to have lasting marriages. Because…

“I just wanted to do something different.”

Rio Bravo > El Dorado.

You’ve really gotta feel for the kid who missed the free throw, Yemen Yemen.

I too would be interested in such a thing, as I have not recommended South American soccer.

I don’t hear Rodgers defending Norwegians when fans chant “VIKINGS SUCK”!

Only marginally better than the time Anakin Skywalker opened a Montessori school.

Anticipating stops by engine braking with a manual transmission really gives you a greater feeling of control in bad weather driving. Same for stop and go in dry conditions.

It might seem countertintuitive, but I've actually seen smaller, front-wheel drive handle snow and ice better than monster all-wheel drive behemoths. Since the weight of the engine is over the wheels that are actually propelling your car , you get better traction. There's been a number of times I've laughed while…

Not really, but maybe, a potential spoiler-y-type thing... but not really.
