from various sources
Ma had a big party for Fran. highlights: potato salad, slaw, Heineken, rasberry mousse cake, grilled pork, veggie chips with salsa. damn good.
always looking to learn, today brought insights from several good sources: Chris Rock and Maxim.
- Chris Rock on taxes: “you know what’s fucked up about taxes? you don’t even pay taxes. you get the check — money gone! that’s not a payment, that’s a jack! you get check-jacked every week. let me get this straight — they take money out ya check, then they want some more money in April. what kinda gangsta shit is that? why can’t they just take the money they needed in the first place? don’t come to me all late like a crackhead! “i need a lil bit more money. ahh, the Pentagon need a paint job!” Uncle Sam’s on the pipe!
- Maxim on picking up chicks at a bar: “Always bring cigarettes, even if you don’t smoke. Leave them sitting out so girls can bum them from you. It’s the one instance in which a woman will feel comfortable approaching you. And it attracts the right kind of woman: If she’s willing to risk getting cancer, chances are she’s willing to risk getting an STD.”
