    Everyone so damn defensive about history texts like they’re fucking gospel.

    Norm was a funny guy. It was a joke.

        Take away the “that” and the semicolon is okay, but you should go full colon.

        Same advice as with your mom, actually.

            I do too (and I’m glad)! My mom died at the height of the yo momma joke trend and I came up with a comeback that I was so proud of, it made me actively hope for one. Here goes:

              Sorry to hear your mom passed away. Thankfully mine is still with me.

              That comeback is darker than a black lab in a cave.
