Irreverent musings and malarkey from a disillusioned dilettante

Nuts. “As a nation, we began by declaring that 'all men are created equal.' We now practically read it 'all men are... Continue Reading →
Heard today: What do you call Santa’s little helpers? Subordinate clauses. Now here is some random stuff from Amazon, Costco (shoutout to Charlie Munger and his Munger Tolles homies in LA), Bloomberg, and elsewhere. Enjoy! It’s amazing the stuff you can get on Amazon. Well sparky, I’m off to pound the Friday night pud. Speaking... Continue Reading →

How much to get him/them to go off script and proclaim “Handsy Joe doesn’t care about white people”? I’m just asking questions. Man. #followthemoney #dontforgethunterslaptop
Annyong! Todays song of the day is Absolutely (Story of a Girl) by Nine Days. Throw back! Now here are some great photos of people destroying their futures: … Have a great Sunday! Hopefully you guys aren’t into vaping…
Today’s song of the day is Undone by Weezer. Came on the radio the other day and it’s been a long time since I heard this one. Now here’s a photo that I meant to share on July 4th: Also, Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park has one of the greatest signatures of all time: Have... Continue Reading →
