I’m not getting more upset about Royce White until someone can convince me he’s anything more than a pointless shitstain.
what a fucking loser
Friends: It's Big Trouble's last outdoor show of the year at the White Squirrel on Saturday. Would love it if you came.
I think about a line from Foxing's "Trapped in Dillard's" often in terms of my own relationship to existential considerations, but I think it goes a long way to explaining conservatives' enthrallment to cult figures like Trump.
Good to see that Rockstar is sticking with "forcing you to hang out with awkward assholes" core gameplay.

The 5 Simpsons lines I’ve uttered most off the top of my head: 1. Sex Cauldron?! I thought they closed that place down. 2. I’m very disappointed and terrified. 3. Uh huh. Uh huh. Listen, shut up for a second. 4. I thought I would chauffeur myself! 5. This is gonna get worse before it gets better.
The five Simpsons lines I’ve uttered most (off the top of my 2) head): 5) "The important thing was, I had an onion on my belt." 4) "The percolations are imminent!" 3) "I think I'll call him 'Stampy'." 2) "I'm..going...to go..outside..and STALK Lenny and Carl." 1) "Who shot who in the what now?"
