i remember now.
The last time I quit smoking, I did so with an awareness that cravings come and go in 3-5 minute spans - if I could ride out those few ticks, it would pass. This is true. So really, it’s no worse than watching a single SNL skit circa ‘80-‘81, or that Jack in the Box Jumbaco commercial.

—Rick Santorum
I think Spinal Tap’s collective reaction upon hearing the two-word review of their album Shark Sandwich, (“Shit Sandwich”) best sums up my reaction to this quote: “Where’d they print that? That’s not real, is it? You can’t print that…”

What Really Happened Aboard Air France 447 →
youngmanhattanite:

It’s not an entirely unreasonable idea: The Airbus is a fly-by-wire plane; the control inputs are not fed directly to the control surfaces, but to a computer, which then in turn commands actuators that move the ailerons, rudder, elevator, and...

Uverse Tech Support: Yes sir, that's a new policy. But we have that plan--
Me: I hope the money you guys make off the sale of that plan makes up for the customers you lose as a result of the most absurd policy I've heard of in a long time, and that's coming from an AT&T customer, so you know--
Uverse Tech Support: Yes, I know...

WatchThankfully for Michael Jordan, there was a guy around called Stuart Smalley to help him with self-awareness.
