Gotta say my favorite moment from the Hozier concert was him saying “I almost cracked up at the beginning of that song. There’s a person in the front row wearing a shirt that says ‘Hozier? I hardly know her!’” and then once the laughter died down, “Now I’m going to lighten the mood a little with a song about hitting an animal with your car”

What Recreators Can Do
It costs approximately $30,000 to incarcerate a juvenile offender for one year. If that money were available to Parks and Recreation, we could do the following:
Take him swimming twice a week for 24 weeks,
And give him four tours of the zoo, plus lunch,
And enroll him in 50 community center programs,
And visit the nature center twice,
And let him play league softball for a season,
And tour the gardens at the park twice,
And give him two weeks of tennis lessons,
And enroll him in two weeks of day camp,
And let him play three rounds of golf,
And act in one play,
And participate in one fishing clinic,
And take a four-week pottery class,
And play basketball eight hours a weeks for 40 weeks,
After which we could return to you: $29,125 and one much happier kid.

it’s really frustrating how you have to wait like, 2 weeks before you can drink milk after you buy it. i know you gotta wait for the date on the bottle but like why cant the store just sell the milk thats ready?
this is what the first generation of internet trolls were like. It’s almost like they were elves once, taken by the dark powers…
