and think I see how this would be disappointing if it’s sad and floppy.

I haven’t had more than a medium sized Dunkin Donuts coffee cup in it, so I’m not sure. If the supersized cup has a narrow base like some do, then maybe?

I honestly thought it was two pictures of Bill Maher.

This thing:

I can’t remember reading Choke, but I do like the movie.

Your title works especially well if read in the voice of Jerry Seinfeld.

Little’s The Association is a fun one. Did The Consultant on audiobook earlier this year and it wasn’t too bad; very similar concept to The Association.

75 is not a “natural causes” age range for death in the 21st century. Least of all for a white man with money in a first world country.

And the type of people who can afford it and desire it, tend to just have it around as a second or third vehicle as their seasonal winter/mountain home driver.

“The light is the worst.” Said the dim bulb.

A equally dysfunctional child at at that.

And I don’t love that almost every episode revolves around pop culture and this-week-in-the-news now, but that’s been the case for like 6 or 7 seasons so I’m not expecting anything different.
