It’s not dumpster diving if you pay a quarter for trash, is it? Stop pretending you have any dignity. I’m up waaaayyyyy past my bed time. But I don’t work tomorrow (today?) ---

Thanks, pal. Way to rub your slothfulness in the face of all us working schmoes. My office’s database-management system is down. ---

Probably because of all the videos you keep posting of your cat. Good ol’ Gold Bond lotion. ---

Really, TMI, we don’t need to know about the lotions, and ointments and potions you’re using. I really love air conditioning. ---

They already have veteren’s day, why do they need a 2nd day? Armistice Day was sacred. Memorial day is just an excuse to get off work. I’m at work during this so called “holiday” ---

I guess that makes your other sisters feel very special, it’s probably torturous for them. I’m going to have a soft pretzel later. I love soft pretzels. ---

Yeah, cinder blocks and 1x10s from the Home Depot require a lot of thought. Those 30 plastic 4-gallon milk crates you "borrowed"from behind the grocery store 5 years ago are finally full, huh. I’m bummed that I didn’t kill the rat I saw going thru my recycling bin yesterday. ---

That’s all you can think about, isn’t it? Murder and killing. You just really enjoy it, don’t you? Next you’ll be killing bums. Then hookers. And before you know it, your fridge is full of co-worker heads. My liver is about it explode I think. ---

Wait, who am I supposed to flame, snfaulkner or Patx2? snf had to pity brag about drinking, and pat times two just comments about the weather like the stimulating conversation that occurs during a visit with your senile great aunt. Oh, the humanity. Wonder why Kevin Hart screams all the time? ---

You don’t know? He screams so you and I don’t have to. While there is plenty in this wonderful world to hold in gratitude, there is plenty to scream about.

Playing video games at a bar just contributes to the general breakdown of our society. How sickening that you don’t even care about this. Today I hiked up a cinder cone along with a couple I just met on Craigslist. ---
