Reminds me of the portrait images for Valkyrie Profile. So rich and detailed.

Despite it all, kudos to Bobo for using "upwards of" correctly.

Cowboys? Hell?

You know what's cheap and classy? E-books.

It hurts my brain.

it was that he then stuffed the Xbox up his own ass that tipped off DEA...

No kidding. Got a lump in my throat (though I am a soft-hearted sucker). I loved the subversive moments of SNL, where the joke is that the scene is actually perfectly serious, from a certain point of view. Hartman and Hooks were perfect.

Sorry, customer service job instincts took over. What did your reply mean? I guess more, who was it addressed to?

I acknowledge your message though I must admit I'm at a loss as to how I should interpret it.

I've only known one Cool Girl, who is still a good friend. A reformed stoner turned marathon runner, the mom who still curses and drinks a beer with gusto, who complains about her husband's motocross hobby, who worries about her kids being bullied, and has written a novel about her high school days that made me…

So does this make you the Angry Angry Video Game Nerd Nerd?

Foreshortening is part of the patriarchy's conspiracy to reduce the reach of women by physically shortening their limbs.

I think you could replace the entire body of the lawsuit with "I mean, just look at him!" and still get traction.
