to this day, jay's dad driving through "guernica" with a monster truck and saying, scornfully, "take that, *guernica*" remains one of the funniest things i've ever seen

stephen root's character looks like Jay Sherman's dad if he ran a 70s porn studio and I think that's beautiful

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier

For me, 2025 will always be the year I was on a whisky distillery tour in the Inner Hebrides and put my hand in my pocket and found a balled-up straw wrapper and started playing with it and was like β€œwait, when did I last use a straw?” and then the straw wrapper stung me because it was a large bee

i resent having to know anything about or read anything by megan mcardle, whose name sounds like the noise you'd make if you got punched in the stomach while gargling

mr onion, 15 years ago at the Candlelight Lounge i saw a trumpet player storm out of a performanceβ€”mid-songβ€”only for another trumpet player in the audience to go out to his car, grab his trumpet, and sit inβ€”all during the same song. maybe this is commonplace for NOLA locals but I was agog. Great bar
