“The main trouble is, privilege is the best word. The word “privilege” literally derives from the conjunction of two Latin words: privis, which translates into the English as, and is in fact the root of, “private”, and legis, which translates into the English as, and is in fact the root of, “law” (think…

Now contemplate the origin of “Hancock”.

Some of this stuff gets to the level of personalized theater, particularly the “10 different accents, be the life of the party” guy. I find “I’m a personal storyteller for people with large amounts of disposable income” to be a strangely decadent profession.

I do not think anything starch-based would benefit from closer proximity to flame.

Most reasons to live boil down to “goofy nonsensical stuff”.  If somebody’s motivation works for them and doesn’t harm you, let it be. 

Or perhaps *not* seeing Cats on Broadway?

Looking at the picture, it’s amazing Marisnick was fine.

The key difference to me here is the franchising effort. I’d argue that a similar restaurant three time zones away isn’t going to impact your business...but if you’re offering the name and setup to franchisees, it may not be far away for long.

...that’s actually a better lyric than the Smashing Pumpkins original.

I knew everything but the first line.  Not until Rock Band did I realize it was “load up on guns”.

It doesn’t make much sense in that fairly straightforward booty call of a song, but “there’s a warm wind blowing the stars around” would be an awesome lyric in something trippier. 

I have broken the Hot Pocket code: take two in the sleeves, microwave them for the duration recommended for one, then put them in a toaster oven for 5-10 minutes.  Oven quality (or close to it) in a fraction of the time.

Also, consider that average alcohol consumption in the days of the Women’s Christian Temperance Union was about double what it is today.

I think that’s more a vegan than vegetarian thing at this point - anybody looking to find their sanctimony hit in their diet can’t really stop at vegetarianism.

Honestly, the U.S., England, and Australia are all so close that year to year fluctuations give the annual “fattest” thing a die-roll feel.

Because that would be the one thing that would get him removed from the Patriots so fast it’d make your head spin.  Plus, it’s not like Tom got where he is by having deep opinions on stuff that doesn’t directly affect him - no reason he’d start now.

Tom Hanks as Colonel Parker. Huh.

Probably the same damn thing.

At this point I’ve given up on us ever getting an NHL team. I mean, they gave one to a city in a *desert* with *no* big four teams, and they still haven’t gotten to Wisconsin.

The fact that this was in The New Republic is what deflates this article’s whole defense for me. If a deep understanding of gay culture is necessary to properly understand your attack on Pete, maybe publish it somewhere whose readership will have that knowledge.
