The Absolutely Insane Life Story of the "Lobster...
I checked this story a couple of times, because when I first read it I could not comprehend how it could have possibly been true.
Grady Franklin Stiles Jr. was born as a fourth generation “lobster man”. The medical term for this condition is ectrodactly- the fusing of fingers and toes form claw-like extremities. Grady’s father did what anybody with a deformity did back in...
Today is some football shit right?
I use football purely as an excuse to make junk food and drink heavily.
15 of the Deadliest Corporations →
somerset:
stay-human:
These corporations, if they were individual human beings, would be locked up for life. Instead, they continue raking in the big bucks. Human rights abuses, murder, war, eco disasters, and animal exploitation keep these evil companies raking in the green. Prepare to be disgusted.
I don’t think the list is in any particular order. Even if you don’t agree with all of them...

Fiction Recommendation: 11/22/63 by Stephen King
I just finished 11/22/63- a time-travel novel in which the narrator, Jake Epping discovers a portal to the past. Typically this kind of bizarro sci-fi shit isn’t my cup of tea, but King’s extensive research of the Kennedy Assassination is impressive as is his attention to every detail of life in the late 1950’s-early 60’s. The nostalgia is at times overpowering-only...

As a preface, I just wish that Matt Baumgartner would remember when he was one of us. Just like me, Matt used to be nobody. I’m just a fucking bartender, I know that my opinion doesn’t matter. But I’m going to voice it just the same because I am a service industry person, and usually, we take care...

Smart Kids End Up Drinking More As Adults →
Drinking is the only way to deal with morons: Smart people “booze so we can tolerate everyone else,” says Greg at Food & Wine Blog. When sober, we tend to “take people’s responses at literal face value.” But after a few drinks, “we can relax a bit, stop being so anal with semantics and let comments slide a bit.”

"Do You Like Your Job?"
Last week through glassy, liquored-up eyes a 40-something female flight attendant from Texas asked me if I liked my job.
I love my job. There are drawbacks of course- it is called a “job” for a reason.
1) I don’t do corporate. Nobody tells me what to wear. I don’t go to HR meetings. There is no sensitivity training. There is no fucking ‘flair’.
2) When I...
Kids?
People ask me if I want kids.
When I say I’m not sure, they assume I hate kids. Or that I’m selfish.
Is it really selfish to wonder first if I’d be a good parent. There’s certainly more than enough people procreating without giving any thought to whether they would be good parents or not.
I’m not talking about planning. I’m talking about, I have a kid, and...

Working class hero
Can I throw myself a “I work really hard and have a stable relationship that I’m not ready to advance yet” shower? Apparently I’m not interesting because I’m not getting married or having kids yet.
What am I up to lately? Having a job. Paying my bills. Having a laugh and tying one on in between.
