So many people I know have no concept of maintenance - if something is not working correctly they’ll just keep using it, and when it breaks put it outside to rust (doors that don’t open, gates that don’t close, bikes that don’t shift well, mowers that won’t start…)

I love every ape I see, from chimpan-A to chimpanzee…

Everything?

That’s because the Beatles broke up in 1970, so anyone who remembers them from their active years is well over 60, which would be really stretching the definition of middle-aged

It makes sense that you should believe in FSM just in case he exists. This is known as Pasta’s Wager

Dairy is a dangerous business, what if you encounter cows with guns

“Is he somebody who is going to be making policy and being differential to people who have put up money?” Weissmann asked.

C’mon, steal the noise…

If you weren’t already watching James Hoffman, then Hames Joffman may not be the place to start… the latter is an unauthorised parody account, although apparently James is aware and not bothered
