ABBY WAMBACH IS A BOSS.
I just passed Weird Al in LAX.
Twice. The second time I was in line at CA Pizza Kitchen and invited him to cut up front with me. He kept looking behind him like I was waving to someone else. So I said, “Come up here!” and he got sheepish and shook his head smiling.
LET IT BE KNOWN: WEIRD AL YANKOVIC DOES NOT CUT LINES.
A conversation between me and three of my fifth...
Me: Jalen, you finished all of your practice problems already! You’re on fire, aren’t you?
Jalen: What? No! I’m not on fire.
Me: No, not literally. It’s an expression. (turning to Viktor) Viktor, don’t you ever use the phrase ‘you’re on fire’?

For three days, a pup named Monty will be available for Yale law students to check out of the library for half-hour “stress-therapy” sessions. - NY TImes
Putting this in public libraries nationally would definitely help us “win the future”, Obama. Just a note.
Why does this newsstand have a mirror in the ladies’ section?
Because you’re not pretty enough, now go buy a magazine about your face.
A watershed moment in the life of every paint-shop owner was probably the night they wearily emerged from their study clutching an empty chardonnay and announced to their eagerly huddled family what colors they would paint the store.
Has anyone else been standing in line for the bathroom on a plane mid-flight, bored, then looked over at that toddler-sized shiny escape-door handle? And then the more you look at it, with the big swoopy red arrow screaming “PULL ON THIS LIKE THIS”, the more you think “Not only does pulling that handle look satisfying like jumping on bubblewrap, but scientifically speaking, we...
My friends and I have fallen into a weekly habit of 25cents/game bowling night, this is from my trip over.
