Quite. It’s usually a fleeting moment, as I don’t wish ill or an untimely demise on anyone. It’s just that flash of the first thing I seize on. In my mind, all punk front men should go out on a mistimed stage dive that cracks their head open or something like that. Live that dream and all that.

Any time I see a headline that someone who used to be in a punk band has died at the age of 50-something or 60-something, I can’t help but think they did it wrong.

My advice: start with a puppy. Just as cute as kittens, and it gives the cats a chance to get used to it.

Apocryphally, Alexander Graham Bell’s preferred greeting on the telephone was β€œAhoy.” The new greeting for the 21st century is β€œYou’re on speakerphone.”

No. I don't want to join you on your discord channel. Call me old and stodgy, but I don't like being chirped at every five seconds to pay attention to the conversation, only to find that it's just people typing "LOL" or "kk" or "ya." Some of us have to work for a living, you know.

Talking about having good genes, especially when you mean β€œgood jeans” is not a dog whistle. It’s a play on words. It’s an homonymic exploit, at best, a rather obvious pun. Of all the things to decide to raise a stink about...

I’m surprised there’s not a blog somewhere that collects all of the horror stories of dealing with the local CEFCO for things like a gas purchase or trying to buy a bottle of water while the staff has a fight that sounds like a family reunion on a bender. These places are builtpre-distressed.

Ah, book learnin’. The bane of every MAGApundit. I do take cold comfort in knowing they will be excoriated in the archive of history for turning β€œbeing an asshole” into a vocation.

What arrogance. These are the same people, who, on slow news days, love to take potshots at Hollywood, decrying it as a den of iniquity. The hypocrisy they exhibit is frankly Olympian. Only their willful ignorance is more galling.
