My husband once pissed me off before a flight. I stared out the window in silence for three hours, out the bus window for one hour and then through a 30 minute information session at the hotel, before finally continuing our fight once ensconced in our room. These people need to be sentenced to a rage repression…

I’ve adored George since I was 12 years old. My amazing daughter found her own way into 80s music (being honest, I rarely played any around her) when she was around 7 years old....at first focused on Duran Duran, then Culture Club (she insisted on going as Boy George for Halloween when she was 8, and I still had my…

This is the most heartbreaking of all. I saw George in concert twice, the first time in 1987 in Honolulu when I was ten years old. The Faith album still stands as one of the greatest pop albums ever made. I know every song, every word. I saw him again in 2008, just about twenty years later, in DC. I cannot express how…

We should start an atheist religious Christmas song enthusiasts club. I actually took my kids to a Christmas concert at my mom’s church today and my 5 year old asked her if a picture of Jesus was “Santa when he was young”.

We call that Freedom Foam.

Get angry. Feel that anger. Keep it. Hold it tight. Never forget how it feels.

So...murder on the Hi-Cs?

I’m just so glad that I know all this now, before I watch the episode. Sometimes TV can be too enjoyable, and you just need a way to ruin it a little bit.

BONUS POINTS FOR LETTING US KNOW IT WAS MICHAEL WITH THE LEAD PHOTO.

Yay! A spoiler! I’m so glad it was in the title :)

Yes! *Wilderness Guide High Five.* We had backpackers who would hold it in so long that they’d poop their pants, bury them/leave them in the woods, and wear rain pants around like we wouldn’t notice. When you’re a little girl dreaming about your future, you don’t think you’re going to be going up to people some day…

I worked as a wilderness guide in a rehab for young adults 18+ and most of our clients didn’t have wilderness experience and were somewhat unwillingly (at least, at first) backpacking around for weeks without showers and whatnot. Many of them were chill, but many were horrified, and I mean horrified, about shitting in…

We American Monty Python fans know what a blanc mange is. They make excellent tennis partners because they are ferociously competitive.

Two years ago I was living in a hotel room after a total-loss house fire, which is needless to say an enormously stressful situation. My vagina has always been very sensitive to stress. She’s a special snowflake, for sure. Additionally, my whole vagina self-care routine was disrupted by our loss. I was basically…

Okay so it’s not really “gross” and I probably told this story before, but it’s still hilarious to me.

Former veterinary nurse here. I obviously know about dogs overheating in cars, but I question this. You can’t just smash the window, you also have to get the dog out of there and cooled down. I’ve seen really experienced animal nurses be mauled to hell when trying to help a distressed animal. Breaking the window in a…

is that not a thing for other people
