Also, anti-racists now think religions are races.

Okay, right HERE:

Well, we’ll always have the memories.

SSSSHHHH!! No one must know!!

Sherry is not a half-bad fortified wine: why then do women named Sherry turn out to be such insufferable hogs?

Some day, when you’re being wheelchaired to the podium at the Kennedy Center for a lucite chunk, you will know it’s all been worthwhile, Drew.

I find the most obvious warning sign to be people who have never once backed anyone else’s campaign. At their best, Kickstarter is a community and if someone hasn’t ‘paid their dues’ then they should be looked-askance-at.
