Do you agree with these sentiments? But does Meryl Streep?
Origins:
Popular quotations need famous mouths, history has proved time and
again: If you want people to pay attention to a statement, the odds that
they will do so are greatly enhanced if those words seemingly issued
from mind and lips of someone they know and respect. Thus it was not
surprising when the following quotation exploded across the Internet in
July 2014 after they were attributed to Meryl Streep, the critically
acclaimed actress who has received more Academy Award nominations (18)
than any other actor or actress, and has won three Academy Awards, twice
in the Best Actress category and once in the Best Supporting Actress
category:
As far as we can tell, the earliest Facebook reposting of Teixeira's words that incorrectly credited them to Meryl Streep occurred on the page of Tuncluer Textiles on 15 July 2014, and the quote went viral in that form after being combined with a photograph of Meryl Streep and published on the Romanian-language "Ioadicaeu's Blog" on 31 July
2014. The photo used to accompany the text in the example version at
the head of this page was one that appeared in the Facebook post by Obvious Magazine that Teixeira referenced in his own Facebook post.

The Mystery Man Cave In Toronto...
These guys deserve a parade and their own show on HGTV.
Any man can stumble into the nearest Future Shop to buy a big-screen TV for his “man cave.” Any guy can trick out his basement with sports memorabilia and Barcaloungers. Any man can trigger an eye roll from his partner when he earnestly nails a “Do Not Enter” sign to the garage door or waxes longingly at the pub about the need to get away from it all.
But the male bonding dreams of these two men in their 20s was on a higher level, by which I mean, an underground level: they were building an actual man cave.
Who are these future folk heroes? More important, how can I be their friend?
