Crichton was too blatant about it. If he had merely, say been accused of having racially discriminatory hiring practices, I doubt the police chief or the mayor would care. But he said the n-word to a black woman and her tiny children in public, in front of witnesses.

This is the reason all of my luggage is Kermit-the-Frog green.

That would have been amazing.

Expanded Universe, actually.

Yeah, unless I’m actively pooping, the way is shut. The shit made that path, and the shit keeps it.

Kind of cool in theory but dumb in execution. I dunno, my opinion vassalates.

Goddammit, as soon as I hit publish I knew I’d spelled it like the fish, but my lunch break was ending and I had to GO.

The image of Shaq and Salmon Rushdie making chitchat while waiting for the valet is pretty damn surreal.

It’s beginning to look a lot like “Fuck This” has never failed to delight me, and if you accept orders for them next xmas I swear I will buy one.

Ah. I see what you mean, but I still think you are using the word improperly. Try that sentence with a synonym subbed in. “The quickness people have to dote over her is astounding”.

At least they were your peers, and you could freely tell them to fuck off!

Carolers are musical terrorists. As a girl scout, our troop leaders took us around the neighborhood once every December, and I do not once remember ever seeing anyone look pleased to see us.

James Franco is considerably more attractive, otherwise they seem to be the same person.

I think you mean “audacity”. To do something with alacrity means to do it quickly.
