Thank You for Attending America. The Event Has Concluded
Effective immediately, the following are no longer required: Patriotic outfits, Opinions about the founding fathers expressed at family gatherings, The song “Proud to Be an American,” unless you are at a sporting event, in which case it is still mandatory and you know why
I Am Resigning as Senior Safety Coordinator Because, Somehow, the Ewoks Got Torches
I have long supported Endor Vendors’ mission of “creating morale-boosting events across mixed-species groups at galactic scale.” But after what I witnessed last night at the Battle of Endor Victory Party, I must resign.
As a Long-Time Drinker of The Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool Water, Everyone Needs To Relax
As a long-time drinker of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, I think everyone needs to calm down. I appreciate President Trump’s decisions to add a new flavor. It’s still as good, if not better, as it has ever been.
I Replaced My $185,000 Audio System with a Fisher-Price Record Player and I Can No Longer Go Back
*Row, Row, Row Your Boat* reveals subtleties I'd assumed decades of elitist equipment had simply been hiding from me. The famous "merrily, merrily" passage doesn't just play. It floats free of the groove entirely, which for a song about a boat feels like the correct decision.
The World Cup Questions Most on Americans’ Minds This Week
Q: Surely, they can design more protective shoes and shin and ankle guards that would prevent, or at least mitigate, this melodrama without obscuring the illegal contact that prompts the referee’s whistle. A: You would think. Anyway, only two times a match is a player carried off on a stretcher to attempt to lend credibility to his professed injury. Given the relentless TV close-ups of player’s grimacing and agonized expressions, there is talk of changing FIFA’s logo to a stylized image of Edvard Munch’s The Scream.
