why the f*ck would you own ketchup? ketchup only goes on fries, and when are you making those at home? my god, are you eating frozen fries? or putting ketchup on eggs?

I’ve put milk in my mug before I pour coffee in for about 5 years now. I have developed a complete disdain for people who don’t do the same thing and waste their time, and occasionally mine, stirring their coffee, not to mention the waste of a stirring utensil.

Shit. “Max and Marcellus” is the best show on ESPN radio by far.

hopefully about two more seconds, tops.

if players are paid to play, and academics drops out of their experience at the university, what purpose does it serve for the sports program to be affiliated at all?

how fun when that fails, or if you lose your voice...

Nope! No goddamned way!

I’ve never wanted anybody to lose at anything harder than a guy who looks like that.

hmm. those are interesting points. i write/edit for a living but i don’t really bring that level of analysis into pieces as a whole. “this is good” “this is bad” “this would make it better” etc., is about all i’ve used since i finished grad school.

honest question: unless this is a writing class where i’m being graded on a particular literary device for some reason, why does that matter? who on earth reads something and then decides the author did it wrong because they didn’t follow a particular device? i’m not sure the critics of this piece (which i didn’t…
