See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

McSweeney's is having some serious financial problems right now:

Though holy crow, bidding on the David Byrne doodle is already up to over $900, with six days still to go.

I'd love to have the dosh to bid on this or this.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I just found at McSweeney's a t-shirt that graphically represents, rather accurately, a personally significant dream I once had. How odd. I bought it, of course.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

My mom just sent me an email telling me she's planning a big book signing party for me.

And then there's this:

P.S. gavin is toilet training, he had an accident, I told him it was ok, that auntie Allyson peed on the floor when she was little. Now he keeps saying auntie Allyson pees on the floor. (sorry)

So, uh, cute. At what point at your book party do you think he's going to bring this up?

This story got big laughs here, I suppose because we can all picture Ellie doing the same thing. Thankfully, she's a bit hard to understand though, so probably no one would get what she was saying.

I think he'll wait until some old flame arrives, and then happily screech the news.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

happily screech the news.

Hopefully without visual aids.
