If anyone has a hankering to drop $40K on a nativity scene that looks like the one from Home Alone but isn’t that one I will tell you where it is for a $10K finder’s fee.

Sorry but I can’t stand soccer with all the fake injuries. I prefer REAL football with REAL injuries that result in players getting stretchered off the field and left with permanent brain damage.

@Spotify will you please restore the @MichaelMcD_Real version of @grizzlybear’s “While You Wait for the Others?” Also tagging @WarpRecords for this cowardly removal. Thanks! open.spotify.com/track/4sKXdQTa…
