Adam, is this a post or did you accidently publish an email you were sending your spouse/significant other justifying why you needed a new $1000 phone after you just bought a $1000 phone?

Then stop now and don’t read the comments.  Dumber.

The check finally cleared.

What if the mascot was a Brave, or Chief?  Would that be doubly racist or would burning a racist mascot actually net to zero?

She told people about it at the time. She told her husband about it when they got married. Shor told her therapist about it in 2012. This is not a lie created for a partisan attack.

Stop the madness. Do NOT spend $80k on a compromised car so it can be a backup to a backup kid-hauler. Get your dream car and rely on Uber or a rental or a friend or whatever if you have a kid-hauling emergency. Child-seats are a temporary (and apparently rare) problem and you shouldn’t waste your one shot at your…

You nailed it. There can be more than one layer to the story. This was just an article looking for something to be angry about.

keep your mouth shut, suck it up and follow the rules

Well that’s just great. My plan to harass you and your family was temporarily stymied when I couldn’t find any listings for “ P. Croissant” in the phone book. But now I know it’s an alias! I’m on to you buddy!

Frolicking my ass. There’s no context, but my money is on someone overestimating their skill and ending up on that hill on accident and everything after that is a panicked attempt to save their car and reputation.

And the V70R that you lust after is the Swedish tribal tattoo.

Aside from all the explicit awfulness, it’s been eye opening to see what an incestuous club the 1% really is. What a coincidence that this CEO, those two judges, this politician, and this banker all went to school together and have been close friends since. We can stop pretending America is a meritocracy.

The same people that have a letter on stand-by noting that they aren’t a rapist and signed by a bunch of people from their past.  That’s just standard life-hacker good sense.

While I agree with your sentiment I have to admit that you lose me at step 3. I’ve taken the “I’ll just keep losing and not care” approach.  Besides, anybody who relies on the official Scrabble dictionary to win is probably well-known as a douche an nobody will be impressed even if they do win. 

How’d the space gun work?

I’m beginning to think that Beer of the Week is only here so people can mention that they were in the Czech Republic.  When I was backpacking around India we always made fun of people that casually dropped their travel exploits into conversations.

“Hey Jared, nice sweatshirt. Does it come in your size?” Boom!

I hope this works out.  I spend hours every day worrying about the quality of life of NFL Hall-of-Famers.  

Now it all clicks.  Corrupt and dangerous sheriff was the issue all along.  That’s why the FBI was called instead of the locals and that’s why he’s being so belligerent now.  Damn, I was really hoping for aliens.

I was ready to bust that out to pretend to be a real baseball knower. “The Cubs? Oh yeah they’re in their curriculum stretch right now.”
