One day I'm going to have the thought of "man, my bad left shoulder is acting up again, this sucks" but it's going to be a heart attack and I'm going to die.

...but my oven is broken and I'm probably never going to fix it.

Why do I know someone who is at "brunch" at 3:00? Who the hell has brunch at 3:00? It's a mashup of BReakfast and lUNCH. 3:00 is just fucking up your dinner.
