I don't envy you on this...it seems like a certain type of religious student is just going to kinda find something to be a headache about, so I think I agree with the commenters who are recommending basically letting it slide, at least for now. If it makes you feel a little better, I had a classmate in Human Variation…

The Daily Fail can bite me. As a grown-ass woman, NOBODY except an employer (or the law, but I actually don't like being totally nude anyway, so I already wear pants outside) gets to tell me what to wear, and even then I only listen while I'm at work. People can feel free to sneer at my Dr. Seuss baby-T's if they…

Perhaps you are thinking of Chesty Morgan? Who actually is a rather interesting figure, and possibly inspiring to some Marines, although in a rather different way than Chesty Puller, one would think.

My sister was born fuzzy, too! I thought it was adorable, frankly.

I love the commercial David Lynch did for ClearBlue Easy - she smiles, but the results aren't shown, so she may well be smiling because she's not pregnant. Bonus - no wedding ring shown!

Yeah, the phrasing was definitely irritating. That said, she tends to kinda bug me for no good reason, so I might be treating it a little unfairly.

I just wanted to pop in and thank everyone on this thread for having a discussion that's respectful and actually really interesting from an outside perspective. :)

Same here! I suspect, however, that we're not among the majority. :/

That's awesome! I was almost able to go to a show, but my finances at the time took a sudden turn for the crappy, so I had to pass. :(

Hahahaha! Yeah, my grandpa's first name was Helge...you can imagine how that got mispronounced! He had a nickname he went by, as a result. My grandma's name is easier, but she also uses a nickname to avoid people mangling it. :D

I do like RiffTrax a lot, although I prefer The Film Crew and Cinematic Titanic for post-MST3K projects. You can find Film Crew episodes pretty easily, actually...they didn't do a lot of them, but they were pretty great. I was immensely sad to miss out on the one chance I had to see CT live, actually...I just didn't…

YOU MET JOEL?! I am envious (although I seriously doubt I would get fangirly or anything). Don't get me wrong, I also love Mike, but Joel is still my favorite. That, and he's a really amazing independent artist...like I think I admire him most for just doing stuff he wants to do, and not being too caught up in its…

They do seem similar from that photo, although this young lady has far greater range of expression than KStew. KStew may be a lovely person for all I know, but she looks like she's been anaesthetized right in the face, which I imagine is a hindrance for an actor.

Wow, yeah, it was $5 for pretty damn good stuff. The only time it was ever pricier was when someone was somehow able to sell pharmaceutical-grade gelcaps or some such.

Hahahaha! As an old-ish who used to be deeply into the drug scene in the '90's, I had NO IDEA what people meant by "molly" and had to have it explained to me. After it was explained, I stared at them and asked something like "then what the fuck are you taking nowadays when you take ecstasy?!?!" It seems like at some…

Another commenter pointed out that the spelling might be different in the US due to people with the name trying to avoid painful mispronunciations (like I think spelling it "Knut" would have resulted in a lot of guys getting called "Nut" by Americans unfamiliar with Swedish names. My grandfather actually used a…

That's very possible...my family is descended from recent immigrants to the US from Sweden (I seriously only have like 1/64 ancestry that was here before 1918, and that's by far the earliest), and I had a couple cousins who were named "Knute". They may well have fudged the spelling for clarity, especially as a LOT of…

I DON'T CARE, THAT MOVIE WOULD BE AWESOME.

Weird...I'm a Swedish-American (very recent, though. My grandfather came over in 1918 and my grandma in 1950, and we still have relatives in Sweden that we keep in touch with), and my Grandma's cousins were named Knute and Knute jr. (born around World War One and World War Two, respectively). The "K" was certainly…

I was also pleasantly surprised when I typed "it is pitch black" into a Google search. That and "do a barrel roll" are old faves.
