Raise your hand if your year is going exactly how you’d planned. If any of you have your hands raised right now, I have a long and very important series of followup questions, such as, “Why?” and “How?” and “What are you hiding?” I don’t think any of us are living the dream right now. But we are...
A lot of people have their favorite story about the time they ran into a celebrity. But probably not many of them proudly tell the story of the time they ran their mouth off without realizing who they were talking to and got burned.

The stories we built didn’t often make a lot of sense, and certainly weren’t consistent, but they were nevertheless enthralling, at least to us, at least at the time.

Unless you’ve literally been on one date and then you stayed with that person forever, you’ve had a bad date. There are more bad date stories in this world than there are people. The stories range from the truly abhorrent to the charmingly embarrassing to the downright bizarre, and we can’t seem to get enough of them. Which is...
