McSweeney’s Internet Tendency: Attention Passengers: This Train Will Be Operating As a Metaphor.
Good morning ladies and gentlemen, and welcome aboard Amtrak 2155 providing service to New York City, Philadelphia, and Washington DC. I apologize for the delay; we are currently experiencing significant existential strife as indicated by the soft wailing of the train’s wheels as they are forced once more into another day of mindless repetition. We hope to be moving shortly.
I’ve loved McSweeney’s forever, and literally feel like the internet would fall apart without it. I start each morning these days reading one or two pieces from the site. If you feel so inclined, download their amazing app. It was a steal at $5 before, and now they have it up for free, so there’s no excuse not to snag it.
