The fact that he tried to go for it and then psychologically just couldn’t handle it is amazing and hilarious and wonderful, and I’m actually willing to forgive him his proclivities for that. Read more

If you do this as a regular t-shirt, I will give you all of my money. Read more
Nah, sorry, that’s bullshit. As evidence, see: the fact that my parents did this, and look at MY weird-ass relationship to food.

Someone in one of the other apartments had developed some sort of issue (I know it wasn’t us) and they’d gotten through the ducts, so suddenly we had all these tiny baby flies EVERYWHERE. I could’ve bought a flyswatter, but fuck that, I’m… Read more

I desperately want to see him go after ESPN and it’s bullshit cozy relationship with the NFL. God, I need to see the NFL get taken down every peg. I need that in my life. Read more
