All of my local grocery stores offer sushi, and all of the signs say the same thing: "sushi under new management" and the signs never change. You're not going to trick me like that, colluding grocery store chains.

"I'm Hatin' It!"

This is a nice-sounding sentiment, but in practice it just means not prosecuting Republican crimes during the brief periods when Democrats have a small bit of power.

I've long said that the more people you add to a software project, the longer it will take and the worse the final product will be. Your scenario describes one of the many reasons why this is the case.

Not many people know that "Baba Yaga" is the real name of the song, not "Teenage Wasteland".
