dog park conversation, every single time
“Is that your dog? Because it reminds me of this thing my dog does, let me tell you it, it is super interesting.”
“You know, my dog, does this thing, where he is the most best dog ever.”
“Well, my dog, does this other thing, while I ride my horse, that I have, because I have a horse.”
“Oh, my TWO horses do that all the time.”
Oh, I don’t have any dogs or horses, but my unicorn does the most interesting thing.
How a New Jobless Era Will Transform America
The Great Recession may be over, but this era of high joblessness is probably just beginning. Before it ends, it will likely change the life course and character of a generation of young adults. It will leave an indelible imprint on many blue-collar men. It could cripple marriage as an institution in many communities. It may already be plunging many inner cities into a despair not seen for decades. Ultimately, it is likely to warp our politics, our culture, and the character of our society for years to come.
I know I’m warped now. Well, more warped.

Amen, Clay.
Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard, and you’re kind, amazing things will happen.

To hell with delicate studies of the American scene. Fuck the American scene. Fuck moers [sic], manners, customs all that horse shit. Let us have more and better fucking, fighting and bulls.

Comedy Death Ray
—Andy Daly
Andy Daly kills it in perhaps my favorite bit of stand-up comedy ever. It’s glorious. (The whole album, Comedy Death Ray, is excellent.)
This is one of my favorite routines. It kills me every time when he says, “What else is going on?”
Witzelsucht
Witzelsucht, from the German witzeln, meaning to joke or wisecrack, and sucht meaning addiction or yearning (sucht means searching), is a set of rare neurological symptoms characterized by the patient’s uncontrollable tendency to pun, tell inappropriate jokes and pointless or irrelevant stories at inconvenient moments. The patient nevertheless finds these utterances intensely amusing. (via lonelysandwich)
