"I feel like a man with a paper asshole"
My dad said this the other day in reference to the feeling he gets when people buy his dinner or pay his way. After some googling, I am pretty sure he is using the phrase completely wrong (sources seem to concur that the phrase is “talking like a man with a paper asshole” and means that someone is talking nonsense), but I plan to use this phrase as much as I possible can now.

“With the idea of communal living all too prone to conjure visions of student squalor or hippy homeliness, Villa van Vijven comes as a refreshing surprise. The strikingly sculptural bright orange building, reclining in the flat Dutch landscape, accommodates five families under a single, stylish roof. And there’s not a whiff of carob in the air.” - reporter Jane Szita (via Dwell...

BLASPHEMY!
I love Rob Sheffield. If I had a Trapper Keeper, I would probably doodle his name all over it, or a combination of my first name and his last name. It would be written in bubble letters, and there would probably be some hearts and shooting stars and shit. But I wanted to punch him a little bit when he wrote in his Rolling Stone review of the “New Moon” soundtrack: “Indeed, if...
