One of my favourite Latin maxims is “quid rides” which means “why are you laughing? This joke is about you”. That is useful in itself but in Dublin, quid rides sounds like a really good deal!

Queen Victoria’s internal monologue:

I like to use the Dublin Fire Brigade analogy. Imagine you knew the ages of the DFB board of management, who was due to retire:die next, the political balance in the board was AND you were worried that the next appointee might be the heir of a whale oil company or a dude who doesn’t believe in fire.

I still can't believe this show made me emotional about Modest Mouse.

We don’t buy Barry’s tea because it’s Fine Gael tea (and Peter Barry pushed my mother in 1988)

posts like this really highlight how this account's gimmick couldn't work on any other site

TVs are so much better these days. When you watched a movie on an old TV, you could barely see the picture.

it's hard to describe to young folks how cool airbnb was when it first launched. just weirdos and spare rooms for like twenty bucks. we stayed at a guy's house in oregon who was a "bear safety expert" and when we asked him what to do if a bear attacked you he replied, completely seriously "i dunno."
