Midwestern hipsters! Fucking newcomers.
Or locals who've adopted it "ironically". See also, PBRs.
I am a large, semi-muscular man. I can take it. Don't hide behind Mal 'cause you know he'll shoot it down for you. Tell me.

Because books.
That sounds like an epic drama for the big screen, Jesse! "Imagine a world where two brothers rise to power ..."

It's impossible to overstate what a big deal he was here, back in the day. Not only was he a huge crime lord, but his brother was the state Senate president for yonks.
I can attest to this. "Where's Whitey?" has been a huge local pastime since he went into hiding.
Also, he was the basis for some of the background details about the Jack Nicholson character in The Departed.

Punishingly Intricate
Oh, they got him? Was that because of the FBI's appeal on the View to look for his girlfriend, or something else?
Yup, that seems to have been the key.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I seem to remember reading that it's the new big thing with hipsters in, I think it was, the Phoenix.
Oh, god. I was totally cornholing before it was ironic.

Weren't the Bolger brothers the basis for the show Brotherhood?

I think so. They just switched it to Providence, right?

What is cornholing again? The not dirty kind?
Oh, and in "things I don't know," what are Nerd Fighters? I'm seeing it all over, and I don't get it. You fight nerds? You're a nerd who fights?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Cornholing is throwing beanbags, apparently. What's the dirty kind?

I also thought of you, Jesse, when I saw about Bulger.
I realize I'm just freaking out about this because the prices are so low and I'm sad about not being able to buy here....At least, not yet.
Don't be! I bought a year ago and am still occasionally freaking out about how committed I am and stuff. And what with having to find a new roommate...argh.
But did I share the news here? My sister (in Indiana) found me a roommate (in DC)! Oddly, the girl who went to senior prom with my brother is apparently a friend of my sister's, and just graduated from law school and is moving out to Seattle to work, and my sister hooked us up! I find it odd that someone my brother's age could have gone to college, gone to grad school, been in the peace corps AND gone to law school, but I'm taking my sister's word that she's an awesome girl.
