Tried these for the first time, just now.

hoi polloi = common people

Not necessarily.  A buddy of mine had a stroke a couple of months ago and, with speech therapy and support, is almost back 100%.  

Organize the grocery list?

the prosecutor may have had pressure on their part, as well, either political or from the victim insurance company.

bring in the Rakes!

It’s about 10 years ago. I’m in kickboxing class, sparring against former champ, Kevin “Superkicks” Nix. He’s a great guy, and a wonderful teacher. I’ve been sparring against him and the rest of the folks in class for years—we’re all familiar with one another. As I recall, I was maybe a brown belt.

Post Mallone’s Jackie Chan. How does a song about a young lady not ready for a relationship turn into “I just ordered sushi from Japan. Let’s just kick it—Jackie Chan”. At best, it’s a brainless, lazy couplet.

I hate it with the passion of 1000 alien suns.

Do you ever open the hood of a car and look not with the calculation of experience, that each piece does a certain thing, but with wonder—that someone went to work one day, and made a thing that draws air in, pumps it out, and along the way, can propel you from 0-60 in moments? Some person fit pieces of metal together…

Not sure about your grade scale. Only a B. Damon’s monologue was the best in a LONG while; the cold-read weekend update jokes were gems. My wife and I were laughing out loud throughout this show. Easy A!

Congratulations! What a blessing. My “little boy” is now a junior at college. His big sister graduated last year and is now breaking into the publishing business in NY. Seems like it was just a couple of weeks ago that I was changing diapers. Now, all I do is pay for stuff and answer questions, but it’s the best gig…

Gwen, I feel your pain. I read your story with a sympathetic eye towards Brian—my wife and I are empty-nesters and I’m becoming a much better cook as we go along. But, as I read more of your tale, my sympathies turned towards you.  This is excessive.  For what it’s worth, our extended-family get-togethers are all of…

I watched this game. It wasn’t a rock-ribbed defensive battle; it was bad football. Oh, the defenses were certainly competent, but the offenses, both teams, were BAD. Kirk Cousins is getting $84M to overthrow, under-throw, and be generally out of sync with his receivers? At this point of the season?! He and I were…

I lived in NY, New Orleans, and Los Angeles before settling in Tulsa. Tulsa is a wonderful place to live and raise a family.

sounds like you’ve got an arch enemy!

I had a 72 Mustang with the SportsRoof option (calm down, it was a straight 6 with the 3 speed). This is about the same panoramic view. Buy this car now! In a few years, the only available Mazda 3s will all have dents in the rear fenders.

What’s got you so jumpy?

I’m a water-cooled Porsche owner.  Do I wait for a cider?

I’m hooked and I cant stop staring!
