COURT
James: i
so, well, i uh
could you like carry a basketball
Justin: Yeah, man. Just toss your spalding in that weird bondage sling and head on down to the courts. Saunter up to the nearest pickup game like "Hi all. We got next."
James: clutching it in your mouth
slurring that line out through clenched teeth
Justin: Lemme just get my b-ball out of its fruity harness. Do you all have a rack where we hang our fruity b-ball harnesses? It cost 700 bucks so I don't want it to get all yucky on the ground. PS I can dunk.
James: oh don't put your volleyball in there, jesus christ, ugh
"Zac's Pick"
"hi i'm zac, i picked this"
"i made it for you actually"
"it's just for you"
"it's $640 but only you can buy it"
"put it in your teeth. don't worry it's clean"
Justin: My b-ball crew:http://cdn.thegloss.com/files/2012/01/willhelm.png
We playing for money or what
James: "shirts and skins? i call skins"
"i'm not playing unless i get to be skins"
"hey before we jump ball come over here and feel this"
"this is the smoothest of matte saddle leathers"
This does not necessarily refer to your email.
alexbalk:
There needs to be a term to describe the condition where you keep an email unread in your box because you’re not prepared to deal with it yet, but then you start to hate and resent the person who sent it because it is the only unread email in your box and it sits there silently accusing you with its boldedness. Or maybe I am the only sufferer of said disease.
Yes me also! A...

TODAY I AM CHANGING THE SUBJECT TO CLEATUS THE FOX...
Emma: Santorum?? Santorum. SANTORUM! Girl, please.
Betty: "I don't want to make black people’s lives better by giving them somebody else’s money."
Emma: THIS IS A COUNTRY FULL OF FUCKING CLOWNS. I AM GENUINELY EMBARRASSED TO BE AN AMERICAN TODAY.
Betty: The upside is that the caucus doesn't mean much but also demonstrates that the Republicans are completely failing to get their shit together, which is hilarious.
me: Getting mad about Iowa is like getting mad about sports
Emma: Totally hilarious. But seriously? Seriously, middle America??? SERIOUSLY????
me: at least there's not a this yet [link to Cleatus the FOX Sports robot Wikipedia page]
me: "In these commercials he commonly gets attacked by a CGI character from whatever the advertisement is about. "
Betty: You guys realize that we need to get the jump on designing a CGI mascot for the 2012 election now, right?
Emma: Can his name be something that indicates barely-disguised racism?
Emma: I want to offend all the libruls.
me: Macaca the GOP Primary Robot
me: Macaca will be attacked by prayer in school, the Protestant work ethic, and an ear of corn.
Betty: But! He'll also appear at the DNC, wearing a tie-dyed hemp t-shirt and hauling a giant sack with a dollar bill on the side, from which he will periodically pull money to throw at the crowd, encouraging them to spend it on locally-sourced, seasonal produce.

BIOMES
me: there's the pop up stores in old oakland
it's like a real life etsy!!
Carlos: hahahha
me: they basically go to the antique mart at the port and then mark it up 80000 percent
so you have the privelege of listening to Wavves instead of seagulls
Carlos: hahahha
The next time you make that joke, you should say "Ty Segall instead of actual seagulls"
me: YES
way better

BADLANDS
Phil: they don't get beyond the hallway of positivism either
like until you understand
that poverty itself
is a category that is created by an assemblage of institutions
state and non-state alike
you actually can't understand the problems
let alone solve them
let alone say that "they can't be solved"
because you don't know what they are
so my solution
find thomas friedman
i'll help
and we'll brainwash him
force him to write at least 2 airport bestsellers
explaining stuff
to dummies in suits
HARDLY WORKING MAN
Justin: Someone just told me my "customer service is terrible." Is there a limper insult imaginable?
Justin: That's like telling someone "you shovel shit like an idiot."

meet the contradictions of the american party system
like scooby doo and shaggy
running into each other
and away from the specter of marx
