I like this girl a lot. Why can’t saying I like you a lot suffice? Why does it have to be I love you? I’m not even sure I’d know when one turned into the other!

When I go to the Coffee Bean, they ask if whatever I’m getting is for here or to go. If I say to go, they don’t charge tax. I think Starbucks always charges tax. I am sitting in a takeout Mexican place waiting for my food, and they charged tax. Why is Coffee Bean different?

Taken from a recent IM conversation.

Speak With Bread: I swear, by the time these papers are done, I will have completely forgotten everything I’m writing here. You’ll ask me, “Who was Gorbachev?” and I’ll go “huh?”, but if you ask me to sing All God’s Creatures Got A Place In The Choir, I’ll be able to recall it perfectly.

Friend: hahaha
Friend: aaaaand i know exactly what you’re watching
Friend: perhaps you should imagine gorbachev singing it
Friend: WHOA ON SECOND THOUGHT DONT

Anybody here capable with Gmod and interested in creating a Concerned-esque comic? This is not a pipe dream-y thing, I’ve got scripts and just need an artist.

I’d be happy to show some example pages of script to people who are interested, in the rare instance that there might be someone who is interested.

Between coyotes in Brighton, foxes in Brookline and wild turkeys everywhere, we’re one population boom of wolves away from Paris 1450 here in Boston.

The wolves are out there, man. Maybe not in the Hub yet, but you can hear 'em at night over the waters of Lake Memphremagog, in southern Quebec. They’re getting closer.

I learned today that groundhogs can burrow 10 to 15 feet underground and set up a chamber next to your foundation, which will then cause your basement to leak.

It is also illegal to shoot them.

We have hired a groundhog trapper. I expect a burly, bearded man, who only speaks French and dresses in groundhog pelts to show up any moment.

I would expect something more like this:

I occasionally see the ‘President Trump?’ ad featuring the Donald’s smiling face on QT3, mostly in P&R. Right now on tvbythenumbers I’m currently seeing the ad five times. On one page. That’s more Donald than anyone needs.

I think maybe we’ve been watching the same Kids in the Hall episodes.

The inability of people to do basic math sometimes… February 21 1979 to March 21 1979 is not 30 days, no matter how creatively you count it.

Is it inability to do math, or do they just not realize how many days are in February?

So, are they retarded or fucking retarded, you mean?

No, this guy kept insisting he was in Korea for 30 days, from 21 February 1979 to 21 March 1979. “That’s one month!”

“No, sir, that’s 29 days. Sorry.”

I hate run time errors that have no call stack. I hate C# and Silverlight.

I hate servers that take forever to come back up and make me think I somehow just killed the machine by asking it to reboot.

24 hour flu bugs are annoying in how they strike seemingly out of the blue and floor you. But it’s nice to feel human again a little over a day later.

I’m reading Classic X-Men comics and they make a point of noting that Hank McCoy (the Beast) has HUGE feet. What size are they, you ask? 13.

Guess what size I wear. I’m only 5’10. Actually, I can get by with 12 in some brands. Still, have feet grown that much since the 60s and 70s?

YES! I was having a panic attack watching the minutes tick by before it decided it was good.

No, you have huge feet, just like the Beast. You are, perhaps, a mutant.
