One time I told a coworker that I had to start fasting at sundown for Yom Kippur and she said “I thought it was midnight” and I replied “No, we’re Jews, you’re thinking of Mogwai” and I still laugh about this.

You spend days diligently re-reporting a week-old regionally published article you're pretending doesn't already exist only to open the op-ed section and see "Mongrel Sterilization Is in the Constitution" by Trevor M. Swastika.

My sweet Nellie died this weekend so I wanted to share a couple of pictures of her at her very best to let you all see how great she was.

There’s one Orange Julius still hanging on, but otherwise…yikes.
