You never know where on your physique baby vomit will end up. Which means that appearing in public with a huge patch of vomit visible to everybody but you is inevitable.

A debate between Trump and Bernie would make for great television but Trump will slaughter Bernie, and I don’t want to see Bernie hurt.

Trying to get our Textbook Services to provide me with a textbook I will use to teach a course next semester is harder than getting Putin to release Nadiya Savchenko. Every time I try to do it, I feel like some sort of a criminal in the process of doing something untoward.

Klara’s paternal grandmother doesn’t seem to know that Klara exists. It’s just as well because her anti-semitic heart might give out if she hears such a clearly Jewish name.

We now have DirecTV, and it elongates human beings on our old TV set. This makes everybody who appears on the screen look very emaciated. I’m now afraid to watch America’s Next Top Model on this set.

N’s favorite TV show is American Greed because it feeds his nostalgia of the post-Soviet 1990s in Russia.
That’s because your old TV is compressing a wide-screen image (16:9 ratio) into the old standard 4:3 ratio screen.
Assuming that DirecTV has similar capabilities to Dish Network, you may have a button on the DirecTV remote that will let you alter the screen image ratio to fit your old TV.
I had a standard tube TV until it finally died three years ago, and I could modify the image format of all my American channels using the remote (but not the German channels, which did indeed look “squished).”

As Dreidel suggested above, I think the aspect ratio is adjustable on digital television sets. I have not bothered much, although I have the opposite problem. Everyone else looks fat on my screen.

Look on the bright side — Hillary won’t look so fat in her debates with Trump.
