Would that really help? I'd be all like, "Fuck brunch, man. What the fuck you gonna do, order a frittata? Brunch is for some weak ass bitches." And then Thurgreed would be all like, "Remember when Jay Z dropped those dope ass rhymes about brunch? Brunch is for ballers!" It would be very confusing.

Jay Z? Read your damn link.

You read it:

JAY Z, “SONG CRY”
The lyric: “We was together on the block since free lunch / We should’ve been together having Four Seasons brunch.”

Whatever. Dorks have been cool for at least 5 years. You're more of a dweeb.

Biggie, Juicy, "lunches, brunches, interviews by the pool."


Embarrass yourself much?

Damn. Is this how I come across when I tell people about the time Joey Ramone bled on me?

You are the world leader in taking someone else’s self-deprecating joke and announcing to the world that you are doubling down on it.

You do know the Neil Diamond retweet gives you incredible street cred in Boston, don't you? I mean, he is Da Man around here.

And, apparently, at Hank's place.

"World leader." That's really saying something. I liked the Neil Diamond story. It made me wonder what the subject tweet was.

Turns out Neil Diamond is really into zoning issues.

Can the candidate work remotely from, say, Florida?

On the subject of self-deprecation, I have trademarked the phrase "No longer in a coveted demographic."

I'm happily married, so this is hypothetical, but I wouldn't be bothered if a chick was only interested in me because she wanted control of my corpse.

That sound is your wife's sign of relief.

O.K., so I don't really listen to Top 40 pop, except involuntarily while stationary bicycling. But I saw Kanye's interview, so I watched the Flawless video a couple of times. All I can really say is I don't really like pop and therefore am not really in a position to evaluate the merits. I actually thought the song was kind of boring. But, honestly, I can barely distinguish Beyonce from Rihanna from Lady Gaga. For those who appreciate this music more and can better judge the artistry of Beyonce v. Beck, does Kanye have a point? Was it disrespectful to give the award to Beck? I love Beck, but don't like his latest (not crazy about Sad Beck) so I don't have an emotional dog in this fight. Or is Kanye just a deranged agitator? Or brilliant propagandist? Or both?

Who gives a shit?

Kanye is like Hank with more talent. He'll take attention of any kind. And the Grammys keep inviting him back and putting close to the mic because they love the attention he gets for the Grammys, which no one with any brains outside of the industry cares about at all.
