I’ve trained with kettlebells on and off for about 5 years, and I lost my grip on one once.

I use this trick all the time. My parents will open a k-cup and stash it on the fridge shelves to keep their fridge smelling nice too.

The stress of all this is getting to me, because I totally read “International House of Prayer founder Mike Bickle” as “Milk Pickle”. 

Except....how old was Barron when Don Jr was having an affair with Aubrey Day? I’m too lazy to google but if I recall right, Barron was like 12 when Trump was elected. And Aubrey Day had an affair with Jr probably 6-7 years before...so depending on the timeline, you’re looking at anywhere from 3-6 year old Barron…

The democrat already won in AZ, and the GA runoff metric is less than 50% of the vote, so while a recount might tighten the GA race it won’t push either out of runoff territory. 

I think this will actually make history look kinder upon both HW Bush and Carter-both of them for how they gracefully handled what had to have been a painful transition of power, and Carter in particular because he’s been showcasing for 40 years how to be an ex-President and still make a difference. 

I passed a relatively new Chevy Spark with a Nixon/Agnew sticker on it, and while I’m sure it was just a kitschy joke, a part of me kind of wondered if Roger Stone had been reduced to living in suburban NJ driving a subcompact vehicle.

It’s a b-side with “gross things we do to fish” (from the discussion about why jews don’t eat pie earlier this week).

I’m sitting at my desk crying laughing at “gross things we do to fish”. Because that is possibly the best and most accurate description of everything fish my grandmother ever served.

My son was so distressed when I told him I was an alien, because my birth certificate lists a gas giant planet as my birthplace. It’s because it also happened to be the name of the town where I was born, but I told him my birth certificate said I was from <planet>, and he absolutely freaked the fuck out, to the point…

Yea that deserved a spot on this list. Just freaking cruel man. 

Keeley is amazing. She and Rebecca have the greatest friend chemistry, and I love Rebecca’s vaguely uncomfortable faces merging into “I guess I’m flattered” face every time Keeley comments on Rebecca being attractive.

Ted Lasso is hands down the best show of the year. In addition to subverting a lot of toxic stereotypes about pro athletes, as you mentioned, it’s also a show where the adults act like adults, and there’s a refreshing pro-sex/pro-honesty theme throughout.

My parents live in Cape May, NJ and several of the restaurants and b&bs claim to be haunted. We used to go on vacations there before my parents retired there, and I never encountered any ghosts.

I have zero doubt that Chelsea Handler was naked. If her books are even 1/4 truth I doubt she needed much of an excuse to drop trou. 

Wait, does that mean I can get an oversized token and buy a new VP?

Also screwing things up is the whimsically named “chicken tax”

Might be regional. I’m from NJ and I’ve always said “call out sick”. 

I guess. I’m from NJ too, and it seemed like other states they went with the expected influences (like Cuban for Florida, and French-Canadian for NH), and I feel like NJ gets shit on unfairly for so much, but we have so many amazing Indian restaurants and grocery stores it seemed weird to skip mentioning it entirely.

Ha ha ha.
