I suppose it leaves him that much less time for writing, which is an overall good thing.

Nope!  I definitely am laughing my ass off too.

Same.

Yes, I’m sure the extremely rural Trumpist used it in a totally innocent and non-racist manner.

Yeah, and I’m concerned it may have awakened an improbable fetish.

FINALLY someone says the correct answer(s). Jesus fucking Christ.

Or!  Wait until after the wedding - gotta gut it out until then - and at some point corner the MIL alone and give her a Liam Neeson talk.  Low, calm voice, describing with great specificity why she is henceforth never to talk that way to your wife again.

My family drives to Michigan quite often from the Chicago area, and I always lament entering Indiana and celebrate leaving it, while it’s exactly the other way with Wisconsin.  Glad to hear we’re not the only ones.

“I had one friend who had a baby and tried using cloth diapers, since disposable diapers are a horrifying blight upon the global ecosystem. He and his wife lasted roughly four days before going directly to Pampers.”

Hey, I didn’t know we were friends! 

Getting completely shitfaced.

This is so sad that I can’t even properly poke fun at it.

LISA NEEDS BRACES

This sentence sure does: “People live incompetently, then try bullying or guilt to solve the problem they created for themselves.” 

They used to, but now (or at least as of the last time I flew SW) they do families after A group, before B.  This has little effect - there are still plenty of seats together for families, they’re just a bit further back, which works fine.

Trump is orange and extremely obviously not an actual churchgoer.  Anglo-Saxon, I suppose partially for the reason you state.

I’m glad it worked out for him in the end.  There’s still a part of 15-years-ago me that wishes he hadn’t gone straight to the NBA, and hadn’t snubbed Illinois for Duke even aside from that, and had been a one-and-done freshman on the 2004-5 Illini.  THAT would have gotten them past UNC, dammit.

Sure, now that craft/microbrewing is big here, I suppose.

When have any of us ever been subtle about being lawyers, though?

Oh, it wasn’t that florid.

I rewatched The Running Man over the course of the past week, and if that’s not what the producers of AG pulled a lot of their inspiration from then I’ll eat my hat.
