The NRA Is a Broke Bitch, Actually

I do, actually.  While you’re never going to get away from racism in this country (whether the blunt kind or the passive-aggressive kind), at least where I live now, the very concept of curiosity and wanting to know more about whatever you’re interested in is actually encouraged.  It’s a nice change of pace.

Storm Duck is this year’s Boats Botes.

One way to make these tasks less stressful on the kid: explicitly teach them how! Sometimes we expect our kids to do something because they’re “old enough,” but they may not know what the task really involves. Even if it’s simple, they may avoid it because they’re not sure they’re going to do it right.

I’ve managed to shield myself from a lot of disappointment and anger this year by taking a lot of time off from news and social media lately, but if Lionel Pimpin loses to anyone but Pope Thrower I don’t know if I can recover.

Good point about how parents jump into this without being asked. There’s a lot of blame heaped on young adults for their crazy parents.

This is why I loved Jenna Lyons era J.Crew.  They had weird fashiony shit but ALSO really good basics.  Like a good merino sweater in a million colors every year. And like piles and piles of cotton tees.  Now everything has some stupid detail like a diagonal row of fringe or ruffles at the cuffs.  STOP IT.

Counterpoint: Trentington is just riding his last name.

Oh man, I didn’t know Dr. Outhouse’s middle name was Laeapolt. That really should be in there because that is fantastic. I’d still vote for Storm Duck over him today.

I work at a university and the questions that parents ask just drive me crazy. “Can my son have his own desk chair in his dorm room? Where should my daughter park if she needs to unload heavy items for her dorm? Why did they change the hours to the taco bar at the cafeteria? How can my son return a book to Chegg?”…

You sons of bitches better start showing up for Lionel Pimpin

I recently had an experience with a 19-year-old girl who was completely flummoxed when asked to open a can of soup because she had never used a can opener before.  People, stop doing fucking everything for your kids.

Seems like a beach house is sort of like a boat or pool... You don’t want to own one... you want a friend who owns one...

The only real risk comes when feeding them pork products; Prion disease can’t be cooked out (short of reducing the food to ash). Pretty much everything else they make on the show is fair game. Though the high calorie treats may pack on the pounds faster than desired (depending on why you’re raising pigs).

...ok but is there any reason to not feed pigs baked goods?

Creepy? Only on The IT Crowd.

Be wary of anyone who keeps pigs
