1.) Call your bat mitzvah band “Jem and the Challahgrams”.

2.) A cooking show that incorporates stand-up comics would be pretty cool. I would called it “Flavor Bombed”.

3.) Repeatedly hitting your head into the desk over something you finally realize you completely messed up is Remorse Code.

4.) Easy rule of thumb: any politician selling a vision of looking backward to an idealized past is actually just dogwhistling racists and can be immediately dismissed.

5.) Just now… years later… did I realize that we should’ve called The Guild of Thespian Puppets’ puppeteer improv show “Whose Hand Is It Anyway?”

6.) If you dress up androgynous and tease your hair and take the rock and roll stage to… hold down the same synthesizer chord for five minutes straight… that’s “glambient music”.

7.) An assassin who names her knife “Kindness” so that she can make a lot of jokes about killing you with kindness.

8.) If I’m ever a rapper who raps exclusively about baseball nerdery, my stage name will be “Cash Considerations”.
