The One-Handed Snatch Of The Green Lacewing Runnin' With The Devil. LOL.

Hey, Girls Season 2: Quit yelling at your friend on the third floor to come open the door; this isn't Bushwick. Also, get a cell phone.

Hello, new roommate, this is a quiet street. Please don't yell at your buddy to come down to get you. Edit: only if you're John Cusack. Or Rapunzel. Just last week there was this really fuckin' drunk chick in our planter trying to get that person's attention. You know, Radio Shack seems to be trying to reposition itself. Ironically, I don't own a cell phone — which is why I carry a pocketful of pebbles.
One-handed snatch.

Still awake the night of Girls Season 2 above. Sometimes if you watch SportsCenter too long, it starts to speak to you in strange ways: sophomoric double entendres vaguely hinting at masturbation, for one.
Which tab is talking to me?
— Bridge + Tunnel Club (@batclub) September 7, 2014
3:11 a.m. and reaching diminishing returns; honestly I have no fucking clue what I was working on or what I was awake doing. One of my pet peeves is when something starts autoplaying in a browser full of tabs.

That stinky bug I crushed was a Green Lacewing. Turns out it's beneficial, eating harmful aphids and such. Sorry Green Lacewing. Now I know.

I wouldn't have even Googled it were it not for the extremely weird smell on my finger after I smooshed the thing; it was something along the lines of George Burns' breath.
So much about this article makes me want to fucking punch someone that I don't know where to begin: http://t.co/dPbfIakJL6

Honestly, it just made me really cranky; that this happened on the day the Ray Rice news broke sort of shows just how cranky it made me. Reading it again made me think I was overreacting slightly. Salient points: 1) Moms, demand more from deadbeat Dads — everyone should fucking know how to cook — that way stories like these don't have to sound so fucking parochial; 2) Kids should learn some goddamn manners and not sound so freaking ungrateful; 3) You don't "sort of" learn how to fix a car — you learn how to fix a car — there's a minimum, basic level of cooking that doesn't have to rely on frozen or processed foods, let's learn it (another reason not to vote for Cuomo); 4) I forget.

I found the simple life ain't so simple when I jumped out on that road.

Loving Cuomo's ISIS-esque "decapitate" imagery in new Astorino attack ad.
— Bridge + Tunnel Club (@batclub) September 10, 2014
I can't find a video of the ad on YouTube, but the way they highlight "decapitate" on the screen seems oddly timed to evoke ISIS. Here's the backstory.
Unclear what's behind the recent surge in Mio "Squirt Some" ads; thought we were done with that.
— Bridge + Tunnel Club (@batclub) September 11, 2014
A friend is so baffled by who actually uses Mio. I just really dislike self-consciously oddball ads; a whole generation born after the Simpsons and David Letterman is making culture completely fucking unbearable.

This is making me second guess not making more of an effort to secure a babysitter/make arrangements/raid savings: http://t.co/uu8tCfQFBf

A friend who knew I was hedging about whether to attend the Replacements concert at Forest Hills (don't even know if it's sold out or not) passed this video along. One, they sound great. Two, Paul Westerberg looks great — not an easy thing to for a 54-year-old (!) to pull off. Still, I don't think I can make it out there. And that's my "September 11" tweet.

Sniffing around for most egregious misuse of "lol."
— Bridge + Tunnel Club (@batclub) September 12, 2014
Paul George laughing out loud about keeping things moving. Honestly though, I've seen so many inappropriate uses of "lol" that it seems less about laughing out loud than laughing nervously out loud — if you take all those weird instances of "lol" and insert "nervously and uncomfortably," as in "laughing nervously and uncomfortably out loud," it's probably closer to what people really intend to say. Ultimately, we're just a nation of really awkward people. LOL.
I just want to know, will the solar flare affect real-time updates of fantasy data?

Feeling anxious, and not at all comfortable with our lineup. LOL.
Why can't I tell the difference between a pear and an apple?

Seriously, some of this shit the CSA gives us is trippin'.

Lunchtime and the six-month-old is learning how to eat. He wants to gouge out his eye or perform a tonsillectomy.
Does anyone have a line on the type of cannon that shoots corn and black beans so majestically?

A Chili's ad, it's at 0:08:

I'm all about U house caterpillar.
— Bridge + Tunnel Club (@batclub) September 13, 2014
I guess I meant to say "house centipede". Usually I crush; this time I thought about the green lacewing. (Beer + whiskey) * 3:04 a.m. = general sloppiness.

Q: When is it OK to smile in a mugshot? A: Don't know, but definitely not for a child abuse charge.
— Bridge + Tunnel Club (@batclub) September 14, 2014
I'm assuming Adrian Peterson must have been coached on how much to smile on his mug shot, but it's a strange look, and not one I think I'd go for.
To the weirdly aggressive driver with the "I served in Iraq" bumper sticker I flipped off, I should add I still thank you for your service.
— Bridge + Tunnel Club (@batclub) September 14, 2014
I know it's dumb to flip off drivers, but this guy ostentatiously (and dangerously) pulled all the way around us as we coasted to a red light. I'm just like "What the fuck?" I'm not sure why I find it so important to enforce the social contract; must be all this Vision Zero talk. His truck had the license plate "RAMPAG3." I was kind of like "Harrumph, of course," and then I saw his IRQ sticker and felt conflicted. Can't I flip you off and thank you for your service? And isn't that just what being an American is all about?

Checked in on the points and was feeling pretty good until I noticed the crawl on the bottom of the screen that he left the game and may be out for the season. We put him on waivers and picked up (ugh) Ben Roethlisberger, who apparently is the only remaining starting QB left in the league. We're screwed.
