Let’s play a game of pretend.

Ok, so make a list of those?

It’s that the names are always so stupid and lame... I think we have to drop the dumb ass names that only sound cool to pre-teens.

Cool story; plenty of athletes use stage names too.

But they still use names as opposed to handles.

That depends largely on the audience, as I indicated above.

Magic Johnson, B.J Upton, Tiger Woods... and many, many, many others.

I am a vocal proponent for sarcasm punctuation.

Zing! It is sort of interesting to me though how some celebrities have created personas around a name that is just completely disparate from what they were given at birth.

• Cher’s real name is Cherilyn Sarkisian.
  

Maybe that’s the real trick to stop having awful recurring dreams... put the nightmare worm into the head of someone else!

I guess my use of italics there really did not convey that the tone in which it said friend was decidedly less “We shall be the best of companions you and I” and more “The marrow of your fibula will cook down into a fine soup, and I so enjoy the crunch your frail human bones make.”

I would probably agree that any Keurig is overkill for the individual user but then I only drink a single cup a day so making it with an AeroPress isn’t really eating up a huge amount of my time...

I experience your average sleep paralysis nightmare a few times a year. You know... where you’re awake but can’t move and your brain creates this nightmare scenario where something is in the room with you and you try to call out for help but you can’t work your vocal chords enough to make sound?

Your cousin gets a pass because all Dog Content is Good Content.

I feel like this portion from the article cannot be reinforced enough:

You say ‘any of that’ but really... the only option I listed that precludes him selling the home at a profit is the underwater mortgage.

He might not have enough equity in his home. Or his home’s resale value could be too low. Or he could be in an underwater mortgage anyway. Or just have terrible credit. Or the repayment of such a loan might exceed his finances. Or he’s dumb and never thought about a loan of any type.

I would be curious to know if the $12k / $15k difference was reflective of cancelling in May (when the event was first selling tickets and stalled to 90) or if it was more reflective of when they finally go tup to 300 attendees and were really past the point of no return.
