“Everything I told you was the truth.” “Sure. Just like everything you *didn’t * tell me. Who decided which was which, again?”

Without downloading anything new, where are you mentally?

“From a drop of water," said the writer, "a logician could infer the possibility of an Atlantic or a Niagara without having seen or heard of one or the other.” “Probably. But logic alone will never get you a Noah, an Odysseus, or an Ahab.”

Post a perfect album from the 90s that isn’t nirvana, soundgarden, Pearl Jam, or Alice In Chains.

Woman with a cat can’t hear herself. She and her friends are delusional. It’s just sad, really.

It’s sad how evergreen this one is.

“He wept, for there were no more wet sprockets to toad.”

At the Reflecting Pool, and guys, this doesn't look right.

So… can anyone recommend a replacement for Roku?
