Sometimes I fumble the last few words of a phone conversation. Just now I combined ‘take it easy’ with ‘have a good one’ coming out with: “Take a good one.”

There’s a word for Vocal dislexia… I can’t think of it off the top of my head. A little help?

The way Mike eats, you’d think that he was breaking certain laws of physics. If you blink, you’ll miss it.
Exciting physics food is the new trend. Get pumped for all sorts of thrilling ‘currently eating’ segments in the future.
I can’t wait for Quarked Pork
