“Running a business is hard work. Running a business that feels personally and creatively fulfilling is even harder. Kudos to them for not riding Alltimers into the ground, a soulless, empty thing, because that’s easy. And hey, 11 years is nothing to sneeze at. A good run is one where the people in charge know when to stop. If you run forever, you lose the chance to look back and appreciate where you’ve been and why you were running in the first place.” Simple Magic on Alltimers shutting up shop after an eleven-year run 🍸 (All of the boards are sold out, but there are some soft goods left over on the Alltimers going out of business sale if you wanted to grab a keepsake.)

the second paragraph of that monster children article about hot chocolate has the most insane run on sentence i’ve ever seen – seriously go look at it, it’s unbelievable

Also here to comment on what a doozy of a fucked up run on sentence that shit for brains wrote over at monster children I mean wow think about using some punctuation aside from a comma you ranting goon
So dope how this Monster Children article is going viral because of a run-on sentence.
If it makes all you feels better, Monster Children prefaced it by saying “Our least favorite contributor wrote this and we can’t tell if he loves the video or hates it.”
We here at QS have no least favorite contributor because they all rule ;)
