HEY IT'S FRIDAY WE'RE NEARLY FREE, WHERE ARE THE BEERS, WHERE ARE THE SHOTS? Yes, though you may be suffering through a post-debate hangover, you must still take shots today, for you will need a gruesome amount of alcohol to deaden the feeling of dread brought on by the eternal wonky weekend subway work.
