I…knew that.

Fine, I'll do it.

See you tomorrow, chum.

Goodbye. Thanks for the upvote and comments. Yours was always one of those names I was happy to see in my notifications.

Smell ya later.

No thanks. I'll stick to speed and cocaine and be more true to myself.

Why can't Phoenix be more like Flagstaff?

Some of them probably did, although I have encountered a number of well-to-do and wealthy people who believed the bullshit about renegotiating trade deals, so it's not just the poor and working classes who jumped into the disquietingly yellow pool. Everyone who wanted to feel like they had been wronged, but wouldn't…

I've seen some of the densest and cruelest people I went to school with become aldermen and school board members. If they can do it, we can do it.

And the hat he'll be wearing when he does that will be magnificent.

Nah, it feels right.

Swing back by in about an hour. It's none of the regulars, at least not using their "real" names, but they show up. It's the same kind of thing as when the "both sides are violent" folks showed up a couple of weekends ago.

I'm not thrilled that we're going to spend our last day as a family having to put up with the R. Kelly defenders.

I think I'm going to become the Phillip Jeffries of The A.V. Club, erratically popping into existence here and on The Avocado, making cryptic references to Hormel Black Label Bacon and PWR BTTM, then disappearing again for a while.

This might be an ad for the D&D module she wrote where the adventuring party has to stop the Yuan-Ti from conquering the Flannaes.

Uh, guys, remember a couple of weeks ago when I joked that Taylor Swift was a giant snake wearing a people suit? I'm kind of freaking out right now.
