      See? Weird. All the women do that when I walk in the room. Also I slashed my wife’s tires to get her to date me.

      I’m Jesse Watters.

          “Boof it like Kavanagh” sounds like a parody version of “Bend it Like Beckham” where a young white guy starts partying and taking bribes after being inspired by his favorite Supreme Court Justice in spite of his parents actually giving great advice on how to be a decent person

      You let it melt, go to the drive-thru liquor and get a half pint of Jim beam, and mix em while getting on the freeway in your dually F-250 which you’re using to haul 3 cases of bottle water back to the subdivision from Sam’s Club.

      Maybe with a spoon? I could imagine drinking it like a fully liquid drink, but that sounds like it would get pretty messy pretty quickly, like when a cup of ice spills onto your face.

    This is not the first time Watters has talked about straw use on air. His implication is that straws are somehow phallic and a man using one is gay. Watters’ strange obsession tells us more about his own phallus than anything else.

      I saw a man once eat a banana in a completely non-gay way.

      He opened his banana from a seam in the middle of the banana most of the way to the top and bottom, then ate the banana like a pussy.

      Strangest method I’ve seen.

      Exactly, as a man the only thing I care about in regards to milkshake-manliness is if there’s whipped cream and a cherry on top! If the waitress forgot it, that means she doesn’t respect you and you need to keep ordering until she sees how much lactose you’re able to handle as a master of your domain! If you shit yourself, just make sure to tip extra…

      He seems good looking enough for a man his age, he’s a nice guy, and suggesting a fucking football coach- oh, excuse me, assistant football coach isn’t manly is just ludicrous on the outset.

        The thing that draws me to him is the he seems like the kind of person who actually got in to politics because he wanted to help people, and he didn’t become cynical and give up when he figured out all the roadblocks that are in the way of that goal. He seems like he still genuinely cares about people and wants everyone to have a better life, not just a small in-group.

              I don’t ride things with motors and fewer than 3 wheels.

              It’s not the motorcycle that’s untrustworthy, it’s me and my highly questionable choices. When I was young and riding my bicycle, I became curious enough to stick my foot on my front wheel to see if I could manually brake like that. Of course I instead got my foot lodged inside the yoke and ended up limping my bike home with a concussion.

              The concern is never if I’ll let the intrusive thought take over, it’s merely what will the context be.

                  Drinking gives me nightmarish acid reflux, so I’m always absurdly sober. Obviously alcohol is your superpower.

                  My superpower is taking enough medications and talking to enough therapists that I don’t act on every intrusive thought and stopped actively trying to kill myself.
