Casual elegance, bad advice and good news for men with Thor thighs.

CASUAL ELEGANCE: The dude just has it.

ARE YOUR MONSTER GYMNIFIED THIGHS…getting in the way of you getting some decent denim? This might be relevant to your interests.

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED: I don’t have a problem with this. I just wish their user interface was less sucky.

SOMETIMES OUR BIGGEST OBSTACLES…our ourselves. Overthinking some things is pretty much a recipe for trouble.

SCREW THE HONEY BADGERS: Cats long ago mastered the art of not giving a #$@%.

IT JUST GETS BETTER:

I AM NOT CONVINCED… that this is bad news (he says as longing for a grilled marbled ribeye).

THE UNITED STATES OF OLIGARCHY? Read it and weep.  Also, this.

NOT SO CHEERIO: This was a very bad idea that got reversed as soon as you would have imagined.

MUDSKIPPERS UNHINGED:

OH HELLS NO: I have to wonder what the Times style mavens are smoking. This is just the kind of advice that gets people beat up in their rural high school. I would imagine.

THE JOHN WATERS APPRECIATION POST: I completely concur with this. If you’ve never experienced a John Waters movie (Hairspray doesn’t really count), this is a good one to start with. True story, I had the pleasure of interviewing him a couple of times. A true gentleman with a lightning quick sense of humor.

UH OH: We are all doomed. 

MY DEADLINE DANCE:

THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS I LOVE ABOUT THE INTERWEBS: This in NOT one of them. Shameful.

IT’S ONLY A FLESH WOUND! C’MON! Guys. We have our priorities.

DRUNKEN TREES: It’s not what you think. Well, actually, maybe it is? Hell if I know. 

GIFS! THEY MAKE EVERYTHING BETTER

THIS IS WHY HE GETS 15%: A good agent makes a big difference. Also, does the fact that he made so much doing nothing ease the regret of making so much for doing nothing? Also, sarcasm and hyperbole in action so keep that in mind when you’re getting ready to rip me.

THE BIG CRAPPLE: Someone didn’t quite think this one through. 

UH OH2: We are double dog doomed.  Where’s my ribeye?

INCOMING! The literary edition.

I am a third of the way through Anthony Doerr’s new novel and it is fantastic. Learn more about it here.
