my brother told me that his job recently decided to tell him he's now a scrum master -- scrummaster? scrum-master? -- agile team collaborative framework -- this is not as bad as curriculum incubator -- courtesy of the sadmin prattsters -- but jeez -- maybe words deserve to hate us

Jason Collins: "A few months ago, my family released a short statement saying I had a brain tumor. It was simple, but intentionally vague. They did that to protect my privacy... it's time for people to hear directly from me. I have Stage 4 glioblastoma, one of the deadliest forms of brain cancer"

The Toc in this elevator has a Jimmy Schuyler reference which does not explain nor does it have to the location of the Somalia Mission to the United Nations being in this building but I’m getting off at the hematology floor for a phlebotomy

it is certainly not the Vice President's job to know he can use his phone to ask his neighbor for sugar in all kinds of different languages

for all the Yankees fans out there who think Mattingly should be in the HOF -- I'm sorry, I loved him, but he should't be there -- Fernando V should though, even though he made me cry in 1981

did you know that at the chateau in Chantilly they've got kangaroos? some people say they're wallabees, but the French say they're kangaroos. Eddie and I saw them, and they were small, but the bio-semantics did not have to be part of our grief.

shouldn't the first question in any live interview with someone from the Trump administration be some version of "why should we believe anything you say?"

I had a dream that an ex of mine from the 90s was hanging out with me, sort of, or maybe not, and it was cool, but then she walked across a street and I went to keep talking, and by the time time I got to her she'd turned into Dabney Coleman. This is what happens when I have dreams in Maryland.

The Stone Temple Pilots, they're elegant bachelors
They're foxy to me, are they foxy to you?
I will agree they deserve absolutely nothing

Get it together like your big brother Bob
Why don't you, get a haircut and get a real job?🎶
