The joke of going to a wake of a dearly departed as an older man with the full faculty of self awareness that everyone is thinking: you are next!

I personally have been playing Snoop Dogg My Medicine in a loop. Not that am into country music but not bad.

Visited Germany years back and I recall meeting an older German generation gentleman whose name was Adolf. In his case he would disguise it by using the name of Adi, though I found it odd, I understood. Very cool and incredibly genuine person I met back years ago.

The broadcasting is just terrible. It's rarely ever live and by the time you get to watch it, it's already over, full of commentary and commercials! I am done! I am hoping to watch hockey (not just Team USA but also others), but most probable I won't be able to do that either so I figure I will get the results after it's done, as said before, access to the sport is necessary. Without that, interest from the younger generation won't be there and impact is felt afterwards.

What may be weirder still is the Maryland Zoo’s take on how to tell an ex he or she stinks: a “Dollars for Dung” fundraiser that lets people name a pile of poop in honor of someone they’d like to tell to, well, eat it.

"...Shawn grabbed it by the ears and nostrils. He wrestled the animal into a headlock, pinning its jaw against his stomach to avoid being bitten, using the doorframe as a shield against its hooves."
