I always listen to “This American Life” at work on Mondays. Because work on Mondays tends to be a little insane, the “TAL” podcast always lasts way longer than it should - I digest it slowly, in five-minute chunks.
Anyway, today, I was removing some scam ads from the site while listening to this week’s episode, […]
A friend brought this to our attention:
Unlike 34,368 other Twitter users, we don’t follow @hotdogsladies; he seems far less inclined to shake the haters off than the fans, but once in a while, he’ll go on an insight spree.

Home from work, and This American Life saves my life.
I need to apologize for the lateness of this post; I just got home from work.
It was my first day, um, unpacking books for the Rhodes College bookstore in anticipation of their fall rush. Thank God my first day wasn’t a fiasco.
