The Biggest Story of 2022 (Or Any Other Year)

“You're just going to have to accept that people are *never* ready in times like these. Page-turners and bolt-tighteners always demand more time than external forces permit. That's your job. My job is to remind you the real world and the people cutting our checks don't care. So get us as ready as you can in a week, and maybe find yourself a little helping of faith.”
Patrick S. Tomlinson, Gate Crashers

“he missed having the freedom to fill his stomach with hooch until the world went away. Of course, the real problem with chasing the world away with alcohol was how it always came roaring back in the morning. A”
Patrick S. Tomlinson, The Ark

“So far, everthin’ I’ve used to try to open her’s been about as effective as giving a frog a haircut with a harmonica.”

“focused on their features, it became apparent their designers had tried to cross the Uncanny Valley, but slipped off the footbridge and were subsequently devoured by crocodiles.”
Patrick S. Tomlinson, Gate Crashers

“There are only two ways a child saddled with a name like Maximus Tiberius turns out. He either becomes confidence personified, or he ends up trapped inside the name like a cruel irony. This child, who already had a beer in each hand and a girl under each arm, had settled on the first option early in life.”
Patrick S. Tomlinson, Gate Crashers
