i'm not sure what i'm happier for...that your awesomeness is gracing the internets again or that you can find it within yourself to live on only 5k a week.

I was thinking of saving money by flying first class.

Sadly, I doubt I could afford the entire cabin. Therefore, I'll just wear expensive clothing to hide my economic paucity.

This annoyed the pants off me and here's why.

I live in Brooklyn BECAUSE IT'S CHEAPER. I hear New Jersey is cheaper too. Maybe these guys should suck it up and get the hell off of Park Avenue before they start complaining.
