I love this quote from the Hardy Boys article: “Writing is easy,” said the author Gene Fowler. “All you do is stare at a blank sheet of paper until drops of blood form on your forehead.”

yeah he was a farmer but then they sold the farm, or something, and then he was a truck driver for eight years and retired when my dad died. then he died about a year and a half ago. but he was like the worst backseat driver ever, he was like the safest driver in the universe and kept winning awards from r&l every year for never getting a speeding ticket and having the best driving record in the company. always weird for me to imagine him out there.

Your grandad was a trucker? Dude, my grandad was a trucker. But I don’t know if he would have been upset about that article because he died before I was born.

I would actually be a different person today if I had ever gone to that camp. Middle school hell scarred me so badly that I hated, feared, and avoided people until my sophomore year of college. It sucked big hairy donkey balls and I wasn’t in any way equipped to deal with that.

Basically when I’m rich and famously I’ll donate a metric shit ton of money to them. Also Girls Rock. Because both are awesome.

I wish i could have gone to that camp, so so badly. Middle school is hell.

I clicked on the “Drive By-Truckers” article hoping it’d be about the band. Obviously it was not. Still a really interesting read though!

#23 Jersey, Reise? Bayonne address? Well, that is a nice view of the city from the Jersey side, yes? Tunafish always brings back bad memories of a comment someone made of me, I’m still paranoid to this day.

Please don’t ever stop making these, Riese.
They’re the reason that other people think I’m well-read/interesting.
