When did you stop beating up your brother?
As soon as he was bigger than me, except for that one punch on my 24th birthday, which was arguably one of the shittiest days of my life.

TALKING WITH PENNY
My favorite thing about the office is the potential for wildly literate and wholly unique conversations I tend to fall into with one of my bosses. Upcoming: A few choice quotes from today’s rabbit hole, a 15 minute conversation that touched on modern celebrity, weirdness, marriage, short fiction, Schopenhauer, old friends, and Van Gogh.

Watch10,000 bees in a keg-sized hive in my parents’ front yard. NBD.
Unfortunately, they had to destroy the hive because they couldn’t tell if the bees were Africanized (i.e., dangerous) or not. There was no edible honey in the hive and with so many bees, it was too dangerous to try to relocate the hive. Big bummer, but nothing else they could do.
