Wow, some of these are genuinely good, so evocative and visceral 👌

She had a deep, throaty, genuine laugh, like that sound a dog makes just before it throws up.

McBride fell 12 stories, hitting the pavement like a Hefty bag filled with vegetable soup.

The plan was simple, like my brother-in-law Phil. But unlike Phil, this plan just might work.

This always bother me. Never in my life encounterd a broken McFlurry machine.They bring too much.money to it happen. I suspect it's another US-specyfic "there is a weird systemic reson behind it, but we'll just accept is as fact of life" kind of problem.

I think it's more complicated. Frome top of my head, the company who sells them makes more money from servicing them than from sales. And they use arguably predatory practices to make 3rd party service impossible. Jet there is some ownership overlap, so there are some shady incentives to allways choose this sub-obtimal contractor. Something like that.
