I believe that is a joke about the new Adele album.

One of my coworkers heard the new single in her car this morning and walked into the office crying.

Yeah, the racks at Target, Best Buy et al. are much smaller in number than even a year ago. That's what happens when you stock nothing but a) stuff that everybody's already bought, and b) stuff that appeals to markets that don't buy CDs.

I will buy an Adele CD when she resembles a human being and not a plastic bag filled with lard.

40? That's insane. He's getting up there but you have to account for the fact he has like a 6'4" frame. He'd have to be 330 pounds to be a 40 BMI. That's clearly not 330 pounds.

That said, yeah, dude is getting rotund.

well…I always found it odd that off route 50 there are 3 targets within 8 miles of each other
so it was more a riff off that that which was the closest as they are all so unique

I'll probably go to his talk at Busboys before The Ex with Ken Vandermark and Puff Pieces on Tuesday.
