"At home, Nathaniel sits on a spike. I sit on Nathaniel. Two spikes would be an extravagance."

Ouch. Cigarette burns really are the worst.

I wasn't saying Public Enemy was gangsta, but that they were the beginning of rap being something other than frivolous party music. But I guess my phrasing wasn't really clear.

Now I can watch…Weeds? Is Weeds still on?

But what about the people who don't want to go along with that system? How do you get them to without any sort of coercion? There's a reason communist countries tend towards authoritarianism.

I used to think that I'd never spend 200 bucks on a vacuum, but as I've gotten older (and as my income has gotten more stable) that doesn't seem too outrageous anymore. I mean, I'm still not gonna buy it, but that's because I don't have carpeting.

I'd be a lot more positively inclined towards him then.

Not twenty minutes ago I opened the laptop charger that I bought on Amazon and found out that it's the wrong type. It was totally my fault, so I have to pay eight bucks shipping and handling to return it. In my defense, it was super difficult to tell what the input looked like, and it sure seemed to be what I needed.

Well, it is Casually Racist Friday.

"As you're attorney, I have some advice for when it's time to testify. First, and most importantly, you need to walk this way, and talk this way."

Intellectual property law is a joke in your town.

Sounds like a win for HBO.

Actually I think he might be Trump's point man on "opening up" the libel laws.

Sorry. I translate everything into Russian and then back into English before I read it.

For a second I read that as , "Still a pretty good wife beater," and I was like, "Oh, shit. Is there something horrible I haven't heard about *him* too?"

Well, I for one, never speak hyperbolically.
