Thank you for that. I can’t seem to get through to my conservative friends on this, some of whom have told me that I'm irresponsible for not carrying a gun. I guess it's a fundamental difference of how you define freedom. A friend of mine tells me could never live somewhere where he can't carry a gun. I consider…

It has gotten worse. I lived in Australia for a time and came back to the States and seriously, I don’t understand what has happened. I go to Europe usually once a year, my wife and I were in the UK and France just recently before the attacks in Paris, and everyone at home keeps saying “aren’t you worried? Will you…

You really don’t understand the difference between between people being killed when those devices fail (cars, airplanes, etc.) and being killed by a device whose sole purpose is to kill? You really don’t get that?

You win.

Seriously, as if the person making his coffee cares. What did he think they were going to say? “Sorry, sir, I’d like to write Merry Christmas on your cup, but I have orders from the CEO not to. We are waging a war on Christmas here, after all.”

That makes sense, but here in America, we like to show everyone that we’re in support of whatever the Thing Of The Moment is without actually doing anything about it.

And he looks like Fred Durst? Yeah, the ladies must be running to him.

You win the Internet.

Her name is Jodie Marie Burchard-Risch, possibly the most French name ever, and she's mad at someone else for not speaking English? I just want to make sure I read that correctly. #irony

Horrifying! I have a similar story about pulling cable above a ceiling, I reached up and felt something strange, pulled down a fully decomposed rat. Mine was just a skeleton though, no maggots. You win!

I once worked at a very shady company that asked me to sign one of these. I refused, and after some discussion, they said ok, you do not have to sign. A friend of mine started there around the same time, and we were both laid off at the same time. We were talking about their ridiculous non compete and I realized he…

They bought lunch for all but 100 people? That's a bit rude, isn't it?

I don't understand this. This guy served, what, one term in the House, lost fantastically, and yet people are still rushing to put a microphone in front of his face as if he is some sort of authority on various subjects. Trump figured it out. Our political process is just a personality contest.

Militarize our schools, but it’s not just that. This is the end result of the theory that the way to solve so many of our problems is just to ‘get tougher’ on them. Kids acting up in school? Bring in the cops to violently arrest them. People like to hear that these policies are being enacted because it makes them feel…

Plenty of good reasons to go to France! Great food and wine top the list, but don't believe what you may have heard: the French are not rude.

Thanks for that. I just came back from a trip to France as well, and I didn't used to get excited about soft cheeses, but they have ridiculously good cheese in that country. Seriously, it's a crime to not order the cheese plate.

Not France, though? No matter, you will have very good cheese in all of those places. Especially good cheddar in England, and ridiculously good cheese croquettes in the Netherlands. If you like soft cheeses, look for Citeaux from Burgundy.

I know, I had to go back and read it again, I couldn't believe we were hearing the dumb customer story in first person.

Can I just tell you that the Editor’s Notes are honestly one of the most enjoyable parts of reading BCO?

Someone call Chris Hardwick. You have won the Internet.
