Whine time
Know what gets my goat? I hate it when city mayors and boosters start talking about how they want their city to be a place where people "work, live, and play." Or, I hate it when people characterize their lifestyle as "work hard, play hard."
I don't know about you, but I'm an adult. I don't play. Yes, I like to go outside and do stuff, but I don't call it playing. Before you ask, I don't know what I would call it, but it ain't playing. If I drink a six pack of Old Style and pass out on my couch, that isn't playing. But it seems like mayors want me to be doing that. Work hard, drink hard, sure. But for heaven's sake, quit calling it playing!
