HE IS NOT JOKING. PROCEED WITH EXTREME CAUTION>
Just the kind of thing Sam and I would spend three hours playing with at 4 a.m. as we’re cramming for finals. I love it.
I think this would make me puke…and not from doing yoga hungover.
And this is why so many Cubs fans suck. Dumbasses like this give us all a bad name.

I support this.
“From your question, I’m guessing you’re on the young side. If so, please note that the promiscuity many experience in their 20s extends to friend-making. Which is to say that two out of three of the people you currently call your best buddies will likely be strangers (again) by 30. Why is this relevant? Because you might be overestimating your need to spend “quality time” with individual members of the group. Moreover, at some point in the not too distant future, even the pals you retain will begin to seriously pair up and then start families (and get even busier at work). Then, girls’ night out with the whole gang will become so rare that you might even start to miss it. (I do.)”
Good points.
But the “lessons he learned” (which he lists at the end are stupid). While #1 is a good life lesson, I don’t think that is exclusive to this experience. This would have taught me:
1) Use your vacation responder.
2) If you’re dumb enough to date someone who’s so oblivious to what you say that s/he doesn’t know you’re on vacation for two weeks, you deserve whatever clusterfuck evolves from that situation, dumb ass.
The gunman was Raul Pena, the father of Lopez’s 19-month-old daughter, who had appeared calm and collected when he came to pick up his daughter for a visit earlier in the day. But a few hours later, he was outside his car dealership, a gun in one hand and his daughter in the other. Hopped up on alcohol, cocaine, and methamphetamine, he was firing the gun and threatening to kill everybody. When a SWAT team attempted to rescue the toddler, gunfire was exchanged, with a bullet hitting the child between the eyes. …
We’ll never know whether Lopez has a point or is simply desperate for some restitution for the death of her daughter, since a judge denied lawyers on both sides the opportunity to make their arguments.
