Ahm, no. Limbo was a Thing in catholic church. The Pope “decided” just in 2007, that unbaptized babies were not going ot limbo, automatic upgrade for everyone! http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews…

I took a picture of the mass of people taking pictures of the Mona Lisa. I thought it was funny. I must have timed my visit juts right though, that was the only super crowded place in the museum when I was there.

I never get tired of showing this print ad from the 1970’s.

Some people wouldn’t know good journalism if it hit them on the head. Keep it up, brother. Your efforts are much appreciated.

News flash: In my time at Gawker Media I have never, not once, or even heard a rumor about any of my stories or viewpoints being bent to some political will.

If you live in the Northeast, you are used to considering Portland Maine and sometimes it’s jarring when that does not happen and that’s who he is talking about because those are the people that care.

I wonder how many not-unattractive 47 year old women Tony “notices.”

Definitely not funny.

My eyes glazed over after about two paragraphs, so I actually thought that you were just mocking her writing style—she didn’t write anything that bad, did she? I scanned the essay...and goddamn, she is an awful writer.

“I ate quickly and quietly, like a funeral had happened, and I needed to eat to remind myself of my body. The food was delicious, and I said so. When I got my receipt the discount was already on it, which made it feel like a secret, which made me angry “

What does it mean to flash your “Casper”?

And then wrote a barely readable essay about it.

I have this vision of us younger generations when we become old people: pointlessly berating android servers for giving us the wrong coffee flavored beverage whose name fills half a page, pounding on the 3D Surgi-Vend Pro machine that ate their $20 but incorrectly implanted their new minicomputer chip, and in the…

I'm totes atheist but when he co-pilots this kind of stuff, then I'm down with Jesus.

A game is only as boring as the person playing it.
