Every conversation would quickly devolve into a deluge of extended metaphors about his monstrous appendage (or so he said). After a while, this well-endowed raconteur dissolved entirely into giggles. Tears in his eyes, he [...]
At least one person on a phone every effin’ moment of dinner
On Monday, over dinner with friends, junior Emmett Tillamook came to the realization that not a minute passed without one friend of his looking at a phone. The epiphany was followed a further feeling of disconnection with his fellow humans. The dinner, which occurred on the second story of the S.U.B., began with actual human [...]
