I've been running multiple times a week for well over a year now, and this supposed 'runner's high' is nowhere to be seen/experienced. What gives?

Latest post explains more, along with some impassioned ranting.

Where the hell is my 'runner's high'?

Hence you should read 'Psycho-Logical', all about the science of mental health, by Dean Burnett

Random Facebook person shared post saying:

"Amazing! Reform Party now has over 278 MILLION MEMBERS!"

It IS amazing! A UK political party, whose biggest feat is having the fifth most council seats, has a membership 4 times larger than the UK population!

...sorry, not 'amazing', I meant 'Bullshit'

What idiot called it "The masculine tendency to suppress all emotional and nurturing impulses" and not "Scrotal eclipse of the heart"?

Probably quite telling that my first thought upon reading this was "Good lord, this guy must have an absolutely massive cat!"

I enjoy the word 'oust' and it should be used in more situations than just forced removal of leaders from groups.

E.g. I just ousted a clog from the bathroom drain.
