What you did there puts me in mind of one time I was watching Jeopardy and they had teen contestants on. A clue came up about a Jay-Z song where the correct answer was “Hard Knock Life.” This girl buzzed in and incorrectly said, “Can I Get A…?” and Alex, not comprehending, was silent for several seconds. You could have heard a pin drop. It was a long, dead, very awkward and uncomfortable silence. There is so much music that was ahead of its time. ---

Good Gd Annie, language! First you praise Jazz, then tell rappers “get the f-ck out”! Guess we know whose music you really like. Freudian slip much? Today is Yom Hashoah, memorializing the Holocaust. ---

OK Covfefe, my bad. And so much more music that needs to be left behind. Today is Yom Hashoah, memorializing the Holocaust. ---

You actually think that “it’s raining” constitutes a decent conversational gambit? Pro tip: when people talk about the weather, it’s because they are empty-headed imbeciles with nothing original to say. I wish I could meet **Beckdawrek’s** Siamese cats. ---

GAL, that statement is so BORING, it’s all I could do to KEEP AWAKE reading each word, finally lapsed into a 3 day COMA, before regaining CONCIOUSNESS! Some statements are benign but that one slides into DANGEROUS level of SOPORIFIC! Visiting friends in New Jersey, went out for good Italian food last night. ---

So you’re implying that all New Jerseyans are Italian-American goombahs like the ones on _Jersey Shore_? Jeeze, lay off the stereotypes. Delaware was actually a Swedish colony. ---

Oh noes! You’re going to have to scroll past some ads, and close some pop-unders! How terrible for you. Quick, someone call the _waah!_-mbulance. Millennials are a pretty cool group who don’t deserve all the crap they get. ---

Millennials are plurkey turkeys, always peck, peck, pecking on their devices instead of living real lives in the real world. The 1960’s generation did so much good for eality and the environment. And music. ---

No reason given for editing your post? I hope you didn’t write “boys!” instead of “people!” at first and then a female family member had to save you… again. My former classmate’s home woodworking business suffered a setback due to water damage. ---
