I see some people out in NYC today wearing Dallas Cowboys jerseys and I think about my grandmother. She grew up in Manhattan and got married at ~20 to a guy from Dallas. She lived there a couple years before divorcing him and coming back to NYC. She never gave a shit about football as a kid…

Does having "Rold Gold" as a brand name imply that the pretzels are full of/made out of cocaine?
Before I fell asleep last night, I was bedeviled by not being able to remember whether or not Russell Crowe is Australian

Asked in a Bills women’s group for advice on the most Covid-safe area of a football stadium (least crowded, most ventilation) and I was told “Please stay home if you have this many concerns.” This is how ableds view the disabled: You don’t deserve to leave the house. Don’t make us perceive you.
I like the idea that someone could be a “night member” of an org but I don’t know what it means

I think that if Sloppy Joe could be said to have a last name that that last name would be Beef
I feel like “Goose Island” is one of the better things you can name an island
If I were going to go back to school, it would be for either perfecting my duck face, or for learning to look like a little curly teddy bear style doggo
And there are people who might say, “looks like it’s Goonsday again”
Every time a right winger points and laughs at a socialist who was born rich, it should be understood as a desperate attempt to justify their own moral failure to themselves. If you grew up rich and are now a leftist and someone points that out, the proper response is: “Yes I am. Why aren’t you?”

Sometimes it's August and you think about October. You realize that that's in two months, and that doesn't seem possible, but it will happen nonetheless.
It is my belief that if he were around today, he would style his name as dwight DAVID eisenhower
The coolest innovation about the Beethoven movies is that if you say the name of the big drooly dog three times, he will appear before you

MOM ORGANIC MARKET
Mom's Organic Market has banned employees from wearing masks at ALL locations.
If an employee wants to wear a mask at work, they have to submit a doctor's note for company approval.
If an employee isn't masking for themself, but for someone in their household, they are still banned from masking.
Tell CEO Scott Nash:
CUSTOMERS SAY NO MASK BANS AT MOM'S.
