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

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.

Why don't you, get a haircut and get a real job?🎶

she loved the holes in his brain, the worms that made them, the dumping of the bear in the park, the swim in the sewage, the abdication of sanity, the rejection of science, the bend of his knee to the living orange
