Americans Lose Touch, Report Fewer Close Friends
You know, it feels like I’m missing that 3/4’s of a friend more and more, though sometimes, I’m like ‘If I can’t have three whole friends maybe it’s just better to have 2.08 friends’ somehow I can’t seem to give up that less than a tenth of a friend (.08) even though we had so…

Soccer Monks Ruining Birthdays
I wish I could get into footie the way some people do. I just can’t quite understand the mania. A guy in one of my classes is watching every game. Every single match.

What was her job in the circus? We need answers… (Mink Hippie asks just how long ago the circus left her behind…was it 1980?) If…
