This is weird, haven't had a single drink but sentences are already starting to not make sense.

I was thinking about having a kid, any tips?

See, the first step is to find a woman. Then you gotta do the sex. Remember not to use a condom, or no baby. If you need sex tips, there is a whole trackpad thread full of great tips to get you straight to baby town.

Holy crap. I just started reading after a movie a few beers. Are we really still into this Nickelback vs Pink shit? Each have their own flaws. I can rock ouy to a few Nickelback songs. I can't really ever put on Pink and defend it though. It's just poppy stuff. Nickelback, while usually generic, still has a few songs that are pretty hard that aren't the typical ones you hear on the radio.

you're a good man

I was surprised a rat could even learn human speech in the first place.

I wouldn't go as far as saying most of my posts here qualify as human speech, more like word vomit.

Man, I hope his cellmates are all very familiar with how he tried to screw sick people over!

I have no problem with companies making an "equitable" profit, but what he did was one of those things that is completely anti-customer and completely anti-good, the jerk.

Top Reddit comment, apparently removed:

Originally he was going to serve 14 days but they raised it 5000%

@C to the J

what's your take on mturk being this slow this early in March? spring break shouldn't be an issue until at least next week

make an assessment

I'm watching MSNBC and they're debating GIF vs. JIF. I can't even escape this fight anywhere.

How about because the power is out? Is that a good enough reason?
