Finding an old sticky note is like unearthing a mini personalized time capsule…. “I had to remind myself to do that?! Man, the world was a crazy place 6 days ago.”

It's not that I prefer less weight and higher reps, I just hate loading and unloading 45-pound plates.

Humanity really needs to hurry up and evolutionize itself some gills. I should never have to be jealous of fish.

Everything I need to know about old people I learned from The Price is Right commercial breaks.

“Minute” is the scariest word to read out loud. Is the ‘u’ long? Short? Should I fake cough and scan ahead to make sure?

Between mysterious cuts, baffling bruises and unidentifiable stains I feel like Sherlock Holmes every Sunday morning.

“Pulling a Bill Clinton” can now either mean getting a BJ on the job or bringing home two good-looking Asians.

If fines double in construction areas, do I get two counts of homicide for going ape shit on the asshat driving in front of me?

MapQuest really needs to start their directions on #5. Pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood.

Sometimes at the end of an email I’ll write “Sent from my iPhone.” I don’t have an iPhone.

It’s a sad day when a guy starts saying “congratulations” to someone who got married instead of “damn…that sucks.”

Let’s face it: not all money is “hard-earned.” Whether it’s slow days at the office, obligatory bonuses, generous tips, or inheritance, a large percentage income—however small—is quite easily earned.

I wonder if we’ll look back at internet porn and pirating music the way our parents do black and white TVs and record players.

Because buying beer is partly literary research for me, I get to write off a portion of its expenses on my taxes. What pisses me off is that I don’t get to write off all the other things that inevitably come with beer, such as the Gatorade, Advil, various two-liters of mixer/chaser, 4am Taco Bell runs, or the hooker, lawyer, and court fees.

I hate when I’m showering at someone else’s house and they hand me a wash cloth, because I start thinking, “Have I been doing this wrong the whole time?”

I think the easiest people to rob would not be the elderly or disabled, but those who have just finished an intense leg workout.

You know a corporation is doing well when its ads stop promoting their products and start telling you how green their factories are.

I sort of wish Godzilla would attack my city, just to see if I could survive doing all the things I always shout at the TV.

When does something become a “medical mystery” as opposed to an annoying condition that takes a long time to diagnose?

To get a driver’s license, you need to be a certain age and pass a test. To own a gun, you have to be a certain age and pass a background check. To FISH, you need a license. But, to have a child—to bring another life into the world that is your sole responsibility—you don’t have to prove anything? You can be any age, be a complete fuck-up, yet you can have a kid? The hell is up with that?!

What’s sadder: the fact that I consider a night out a success if I wake up with no major injuries and bar tab under $200, or that my friends high-five me for it?

When trying to pickup girls at a bar, don’t be mysterious; this isn’t a movie and you don’t look enough like Brad Pitt.

Just because it’s a quick email doesn’t mean you can neglect basic grammar and punctuation. And for Christ’s sake capitalize the i in I’ll!

If your girlfriend cheats on you with another girl, it is not called cheating. It is called awesome.

This Halloween I didn’t go out in a costume, but instead stayed home and got drunk. When kids came by trick-or-treating and asked where my costume was and why I was leaning to the left, I told them I was the New York Times. They didn’t get it.

Having a slow internet connection is like watching a movie on TV. You get advertising breaks every now and then, but online they come from the pantry during slow load times.
