Q. Is there ever enough Prosecco to relax at the...
A. No.
Discussed: Not allowing dogs to put their paws on you, Cesar Milan, moving, IKEA trips and tricks, law school finals, the goodness of IPA, Korean nationals calling each other ‘emo gays’ in a direct transliteration of English, moving back home with your parents and the subsequent emotional toll, the anxiety of the corporeal body as experienced and transcended in the writing of Vonnegut...
Free terrible ideas
ronhaverford.tumblr.com: Like tomhaverfoods.com but based on the Swanson philosophy. “Commuter bikes? I call them pinko wheels.”
