We’ve been together for nearly 6000 days already, so either she was very generous with my original allotment or I’ve been coming out ahead on the whole happy/mad thing.

My wife has explained to me in no uncertain terms that she is going to kill me one day (she is obsessed with forensic crime shows, so she knows how to get away with it too). She even has a specific number of days that I have left. Every time I do something that makes her happy, she adds to the total. Every time I do…

“Lifted” isn’t exactly setting me on fire, but damn it’s better than the single she put out with Diplo “Dr Pepper”. I say this as a crazy-big fan of CL’s, but hot damn “Dr Pepper” was a steaming pile of shit.

Both pronunciations are actually acceptable. Two ways of saying it provides for more opportunities to make puns, which is always a good thing.

I’m pretty sure the shock alone took 10 years off of my life.

I am also a Minnesota resident, and I can completely back up your observation. I wonder sometimes if it’s “Minnesota nice” at play, in which we attempt to punish people who don’t get into the correct lane early for their perceived “lack of courtesy”. I know that’s how I reacted for a very long time, until I learned…

I had a traumatizing experience with a monster centipede once (I refer to them as “dragons” just to distinguish them from smallish centipedes or not-at-all-creepy millipedes). This fucker was crawling around on the ceiling OVER MY BED, so of course I had to do something about it. I went and got the Shop-Vac with the…

And I’m not saying that those problems you list are not very real concerns. But our degrading environmental situation is not going to get better by ignoring it. It may not make a hugely perceptible difference in your lifetime, but it will become more and more pronounced in your children’s lifetimes, and in your…

So... you don’t have any kids, I’m guessing?

I have heard a theory to explain this year: David Bowie was actually the glue that was holding the universe together, and now that he is gone reality is slowly sliding into madness and incoherence.

It’s only 57 seconds.

Trump is only in this for the boost to his ego; he loves the idea of winning The Most Important Popularity Contest In The World but doesn’t want the added responsibility that the job would entail. Trump has made it clear that he will leave all of the actual duties of being President, like setting policy and such, to…

When I read a while ago that NCW would be filming a movie in my area over the summer, my roommate immediately declared “well then I only have two months to get in shape before I ‘accidentally’ run into my future husband.”

Agreed to everything you said, and let me also add how absolutely thrilled I was to see them resurrect Darth Maul. He was one of the few saving graces of The Phantom Menace, and the fact that he only had a couple of lines and a few minutes of screen time was a crime. Any of the story arcs involving Maul, Savage,…

The first season of Clone Wars was super corny too, but after that it turned into a surprisingly nuanced, exciting show. Having Ahsoka as the bridge between the two shows was a brilliant move.

When my kid was 2 years old, I had a grand old time answering her constant questions with a combination of “Teaching her how the world works” and “Amusing myself because this routine gets old pretty fast”.

The Wilhelm Scream at 0:38 is what really brings it home.

The Occupational Safety & Health Administration?

Arguable, until we know the full extent of their plans. I tend to think that Varys will be one of the last people standing when all is said and done.

When (or if) the series will be finished is a pretty big question. I have been diligently defending Martin for years now, under the assumption that it’s “when”, but lately... I am reluctantly starting to favor “if”. At this point, Winds of Winter doesn’t even have a vague timeframe for the release date. That’s not a…
