I was just listening to an interview with Elton John who pointed out that in the 60's and 70's, many of the British bands dressed up because Great Britain had such a strong vaudeville influence (West End, and all that) whereas American bands pretty much all dressed very simply.

Yeah, I saw them on SNL and they were embarrassing. Not only were they terrible sounding, they looked like they were wearing “hippy” costumes they found at a Halloween store.

Neutral: I would definitely be interested in a small 4-door pickup truck. I would want it to have decent ground clearance (or be able to lift it a few inches) and off road capabilities. I love the look of that VW up above. I like the Tacoma, but even that is bigger than what I need. 

Ray Ratto sounds exactly as I imagined.

I bet you set a new personal record for that 3rd mile, or whatever.

It happened on my way to the White Sox game, as clearly stated in the first sentence of paragraph 2.

No, I had encountered crazy drugged out people in Minneapolis, they were just less outwardly aggressive and if anyone else was around they seemed to acknowledge the spectacle as such.

The only White Sox game I have ever attended was back in April of 2012 and it was a very cold and windy night game. I was way too cold in my shitty seat waaaaay out in left field so I decided to go for a stroll. I ended in an open-air suite right behind home plate that gave me some shelter from the wind and an…

So the optimal number of dings a microwave should have is ONE. You should be able to mute the dings entirely, but since Silicon Valley hasn’t conceived of such a disruption yet, I’m fine with one ding and one ding only.

raising user costs (disproportionately affecting low income users and people of color) on underperforming mass transit will help pay for future improvements? No. We should demand that more of our tax dollars go to subsidizing user costs and expansion of mass transit instead of into defense spending and other programs…

Me, I’m a night putter

Aurora Illinois is best known for:

I was thinking the same thing. I just assumed they would get her on opioid painkillers and steroids.

General Booty sounds like the name of a Parliament album
