Monday feelings in Irish terminology: I’m wrecked and could use a shoulder of whiskey in my coffee. To be honest, if I were in Ireland I’m 99 percent positive I would be tipsy the entire time being that when you actually look up “common Irish phrases” about 50 percent of them are somehow related to […]

Thanksgiving week in a nutshell: “I don’t stop eating when I’m full. The meal isn’t over when I’m full. It’s over when I hate myself. “ – Louis C.K. A quote will have to do because there was no way I could censor the actual clip. Which by the way is hilarious. But even I know my limitations. And I’m too […]
