Pre-Thanksgiving cooking goes a lot quicker once you’re 2 glasses into the new bottle of wine.

For my Buffalo folks

Dear other bills fans, I drafted Kelce yesterday in my fantasy football league. You’re welcome

It seems clear to me that if Altuve had been in the lineup all season, that this whole “Rangers lead the division” thing wouldn’t have been a thing. Stupid hand injuries

I haven’t seen so many rich guys stuck in the mud since the Battle of Agincourt

This year’s Burning Man has turned into the German positions inside Stalingrad.

"The National Guard gets deployed to save Burning Man" is some shit you'd expect in a Broken Lizard movie

And still, Kissinger endures

It's bittersweet but somehow fitting that the man who wrote our anthems for summer day-drinking left us on Labor Day weekend
