Look at a recipe for lemon curd and tell me "curd" isn't a contraction of "custard"

If you download the Pressreader app (or visit the site) you can find dozens of newspapers and magazines FREE courtesy of you library. The app works really well, you can even tap on the headline of an article to open a reader pane. It'll auto-download new editions and notify you.

I always have to be the last person clapping in a crowd. Always. My brother has picked up on this and started challenging me. Made for a very awkward wedding ceremony when neither gave in for what felt like 3 minutes. His wife stopped him. Suck it Philip I know your reading this.

Feeding a friend's dog. It snatched a bag of treats out of my hand and scoffed them in a few seconds, bag and all. Worried what damage it might do to its insides, I was relieved to later see it shit out the bag. I was less relieved to see it then eat the shit, bag and all.

Tearfully admitting to the assembled crowd that this *is* my first rodeo. Babbling on about how I thought it somehow involved BBQ sauce? A special car? Clowns, somewhere? I'd never seen one, how would I know?

I worked in University admissions for 5 years for my department, recruiting about 2,000 students in the process. Never once read a personal statement. I couldn't give a fuck about your ambitions, if you have the grades and can get your student loan then I just want your money.

I'd like to say something, but my mouth is full of popcorn kernels, so I shake my head and smile. "No final words, then," says the warden. He gives the signal to throw the switch on the electric chair.
