Or just have your wife punch you in the other leg to balance things out.

AUUGGHHH!!!

"Honey, that wasn't my leg!!!!!!"

A lot of people make that mistake with me.

I don't get why every single song is so formulaic.

Name me one song within the past 10-15 years that isn't like that.

Tequila?

Oh, sorry, that's more than 15 years old.

Great karaoke song, though.

Music is written a certain way because it's tried and true. Our ears expect to hear certain things, and when our expectations are met, most people walk away satisfied. Like electronic dance music - for some reason, when we hear a beat pulse at 135 beats per minute, it causes our brains to respond in a peculiar way. So just about every single electronic dance track is around that speed.

But I'll name you an entire band that isn't like that: Radiohead. In fact, the "OK COMPUTER" record is 10 years old, and it's pretty much a thesis on unconventional song structures and asymmetric phrases, and it's a damn good album.

Fucker still hurts.

I don't get why you are upset about waking up with a rock hard muscle. I thought at your age that couldn't happen anymore . . . .

I don't get why I can take a half hour afternoon nappy and wake up more rested than a nights sleep.

A night's sleep is actually not natural in most cases. Humans are built to sleep in short bursts, many times in a day. Up for an hour, down for a half hour, all throughout the day.

I think you should jerk off right before going to bed at night.
