I READ NEW YORK TIMES TOO

I predict a lot of people will be revisiting The Fucking Champs records in a few years.

I expected Chick-fil-A to be good. It didn't disappoint. Its standard chicken sandwich, a lightly coated breast fillet with little adornment, was meaty and tender, and the bun cradling it couldn't have been fluffier. We need more Chick-fil-A in New York City. (There's just one branch, at New York University.) We need it fast.

SECRET NYU CHICK-FIL-A OUTPOST? CONFIRM/DENY (Y/N?)

"Does fashion trump addiction?"

ITEM: NYT columnist not seeing people at her parties getting drunk anymore, must be a trend.

haha, the readers seem wearily unsurprised at the stupidity.

now off to get drunk @office party

geez you just reminded me of this article "Redefining the Pajama Hour which annoyed the crap out of me

"Anyone of a certain age who has struggled lately to watch late-night TV knows that to succeed you have to get through the midnight dead zone, when there’s often a six-minute commercial break that feels like eternity. You yawn, you stretch, you weigh the channel clicker in your hand, you decide to “rest your eyes” just for a moment. And then, hours later, you wake yourself with a snort, wondering where on earth you are. It’s like coming back from the dead.

But we remember, fondly, what late-night television was like, and the whole point was that it wasn’t prime time. Getting past that 11:35 barrier was like slipping into a world that was cooler, hipper, more spontaneous."

i HATE writing like this

I think that alcohol article might be the single stupidest thing I have ever read in the NYT

whoa hey whoa calm down there

Susan Cheever is the author of several books, including "My Name Is Bill," a biography of one of the founders of Alcoholics Anonymous, "Note Found in a Bottle" and the latest, "Desire: Where Sex Meets Addiction."

wait hang on I thought everybody who ever got drunk was a powerless alcoholic could this not be the case?

“That dinner party was almost 10 years ago; it was the last time I saw anyone visibly drunk at a New York party.”

…

On the other hand, I’ve been to a lot of New York parties and I can say with certainty: no, people are in fact still drinking.

NYT blogger not writing about people on ILX shocker

I think that article has to be understood as something written by somebody in recovery who is no longer an alcoholic. They have my sympathy as that is a struggle, but it seems to also produce exactly the all-or-nothing stance it purports to describe but actually advocates for.

oh, when you and your peers get older they stop drinking so heavily and acting the fool in public? you don't say.

there is no one funneling nor passing out w/puke all over themselves at the parties i go to anymore - must be out of style

the older i get, the drunker i get

when's the last time you seen a man shotgun a beer and chase it with whisky? people don't even DRINK beer anymore!

new york society is in the gutter, it's true

some guys were shotgunning beers at a party i attended a couple weeks ago but they were just trying to be funny

you are not the kind of guy who would drink like this at this time of the evening. but here you are, and you cannot say that the terrain is entirely unfamiliar, as though the details are crystal clear.

my good buddy that just turned 41 shot gunning a beer this past spring

Those “how this famous person spends their Sunday” articles are comedic gold. They’re clearly fiction right?
