Thank you for posting this.  I don't know if I ever would've encountered it otherwise.  I'll be passing this one on to those I know. 

Don’t attack me everybody, but I honestly can’t wait until I don’t have to check up on U.S. politics 6 times a day. Pre-Trump, everything seemed pretty stable, even when there was a President whom I largely disagreed with. Some good things would happen, some bad things would happen, some idiotic things would happen,…

Me too! 

Thank you! I truly appreciate this. I once heard a school teacher (who was American born to Chinese immigrant parents) pronounce it almost the same way that you'd pronounce Ted Nugent's last name and I thought to myself that there's no way that could be correct.  

I’m thinking that that’s a dude who loves McKinley, for sure. You can just tell by the way they express themself.

Until you had mentioned this, I had forgotten that I am also the only one with my name on the entire planet, which is kinda weird because even though my first name is uncommon, pretty much every one in the English speaking world is familiar with it and my last name is a standard word in both French & German. But if…

Agreed, I’m just pointing out that there are plenty of star-fuckers out there, as well as plenty of people who will take advantage of any situation that presents itself. I used to know a guy named Greg who only vaguely resembled a major country singer. Once while on holidays a hostess at a club approached Greg’s…

Almost no one (outside of the U.K.) even knows who Arthur Lee was. Of those who do, almost no one is familiar with or owns a copy of that album. Thank you for brightening my day. I will now follow your posts.

I keep my pantry next to my apple orchard.  That way I can have both pants & apples whenever I like. 

She might also have been sexually assaulted by a “Justin Bieber” who was just not actually THE Justin Bieber. You’d be shocked by how many times people who don’t really look identical to celebrities are approached by “fans”. Sometimes these not-really-lookalikes are evil people who seek to take advantage of the…

John Cena’s okay, but Gronk is really an unpalatable offensive idiot. Maybe I’m wrong, but I’m assuming that you might want to be able to have some sort of conversation with a Himbo?

My first & last names aren’t really all that unusual or hard to spell. Having said that, everyone’s gotten them wrong for most of my life, so now I just use my best friend’s name whenever I have to place an order like you did. No one ever asks me how to spell "Adam" or "Baker" and no one ever pronounces it wrong.  

There was a man in Ontario named Adolf Fitler who ultimately decided to change his name. I can’t remember exactly what he changed it to, but it might have been something like “Jim Fitler” instead.

I’m definitely changing my name to “John Smith” after I win millions of dollars in the lottery so that I’m that much harder to track down. Now I just need to figure out how to win millions of dollars in the lottery.  

I am very unclear as to how the Vietnamese last name “Nguyen” is actually pronounced. I’ve heard it said several completely different ways, but it’s always been by other people. I’ve never heard it clearly pronounced by a person whose last name it really is.

Patti Smith.  That is all. 

The "other" guitarist in the video is Mike Campbell of Tom Petty & the Heatbreakers.  

The letter is signed by Tom’s 2 children, their mother (Tom’s wife of many years whom he divorced later in life), AND Tom’s widow at the time of his death. Literally all of his legal family banding together to protect his integrity.  A beautiful moment created by a shitty president.  

I get that it can be devastating when you thought that you were building something. It’s a traumatic event, like an unexpected death or divorce or unemployment or bankruptcy. If it’s any consolation, almost nobody’s life turns out exactly the way we thought it would. The key here is being resilient and KNOWING that he…

Hi jinni - Thank you for your kind words. I don’t know if I’m familiar with Ray - Han, but I’m certainly aware of goddessoftransitory & ysubassoon is one of my faves. I definitely wouldn’t mind being ungreyed, but I’m not losing any sleep over it. I only ever visit Jez via my Android phone, which seems to default to a…
