My Sister Paid Progressive Insurance to Defend Her Killer In Court

I’ve been sending out some impertinent tweets about Progressive Insurance lately, but I haven’t explained how they pissed me off. So I will do that here as succinctly as possible. There’s a general understanding that says, “insurance companies— oh they’re awful,” but since Progressive turned their shit hose on my late sister and my parents, I’ve learned some things that really surprised me.

I’ll try to cleave to the facts. On June 19, 2010, my sister was driving in Baltimore when her car was struck by another car and she was killed. The other driver had run a red light and hit my sister as she crossed the intersection on the green light.

Really sad.

Statues of Wenlock and Mandeville, the one-eyed wiener monster mascots of the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic games, are hidden all around London. I found 8, but there are supposedly 83 of them out there somewhere!

If you aren’t in New York or don’t like having fun, don’t worry! The series is premiering online very, very soon.

SPOTTED: Catman in Union Square! This may seem like a run of the mill feline, but it’s actually a new breed of parasitic cat that uses its host body to ask for dollars from people taking its photo.

A lovely reader named Maureen sent me these images of some postcards from the original UCB Theatre on 22nd Street and I felt compelled to share them with you all! She writes -

“So, I was going through my box of high school pictures tonight, and came across these and figured you would appreciate them. These are postcards from the original UCB Theatre on 22nd Street. I started going there when I was sixteen years old, and I am thirty now, yikes!

I hope you are able to see the names on them, but these were the beginning days of some of the best comedians today- Seth Morris, Jake Fogelnest, the original 4, and Rob Corddry.”

I love this and I am so excited that Maureen decided to send them on and allowed me to share them with you! You can follow Maureen on her blog, which follows her on her running adventures here.

(My e-mail is always open and I love hearing from people, so whether you just want to say “hi” and shower me with compliments or send something interesting along, please feel free!)

Are these worth something?
