2.) Before you mourn the passing of an “old economy” business for reasons of changing markets, research if it was actually just debt-riddled by the leveraged buy-out by a vulture capitalist holding company’s hostile takeover, dooming it from that point on. It’s most of the time!

3.) “We broke all the barstools in Barstow that night” should be a line in something.

4.) They’d opened the ice cream stand together just after they got married, the divorce turned into one ugly drawn-out custardy battle.

5.) Lullabyes and alibis, we’re all just trying to sleep a little bit at night.

6.) “Don’t mention it!” said the in-grown hair “I in cyst!”

7.) You will be tethered to the past, whether you’re on board with it or not. You have a choice, though, between the past being a weight on chains dragging you down or the past being a balloon on a gossamer thread pulling you up. That’s the call you get to make.

8.) Fox News these days is an interesting experiment. They say that history’s written by the victors, Fox News is a bunch of people realizing that they’re losing and trying to rewrite the present so that it isn’t actually happening.

9.) Did you SEE those kids murder that demon-spider-clown? They were KILLING IT!

10.) You’d think the hipsters would LOVE it when something was in retrograde.

11.) I have no idea how you could turn Mr. Wilson into a shady moneylender for THE MERCHANT OF DENNIS, I’m just saying, I’d probably watch it.

12.) Listen: these people don’t care that Trump raped a teenage girl and threatened her into silence, they don’t care that the election was stolen for him by the dictator who invaded Crimea. They won’t care that he cheated on one of his trophy wives.

13.) The problem is that when people give into fear, it gives them a sense of terrible purpose, makes them feel powerful, makes them feel special. When you tell them to let go of the fear, they think you’re telling them to give up their identity as Big Powerful Protector Thing.
