Ugh, when I was in undergrad their was a grad student all the girls would drool over with his pseudo-intellectual crap, etc; I thought he was a vacuous slime ball. One day I was chatting with a mutual friend at a table he was sitting at. I noticed he was on his computer and saw he was on J Date. As a member of the…

No, this is my Dad.

During one of my conversations with my father in my early 20's he gave me a piece of advice only he would give (seriously, he taught me how to shoot a handgun when I was four because "you never know what might happen"). He told me to bring a sharpened pencil on dates and if the guy started to make me uncomfortable or…

They were great when I saw them in concert during the Top of the World tour. Love them.

I think your gaydar might have a hair bias. But if you do turn out to be right by some bizarro twist of fate, send Adrian Pasdar my way. She can keep the kids.

So say we all.

This. When I started dating my ex I was a woman with three degrees, self confidence, friends, and looked forward to the future. By the time I got out I would hide in the basement, cower in front of him when he would forbid me from entering or leaving rooms while he screamed at me, and lied to my friends and family…

And not the first rape by a police officer in Baltimore. I'm not surprised about this happening again in Baltimore, Jemini Jones taught his fellow officers that multiple rape accusations won't prevent you from being paid while awaiting trial, and since the prosecutors office is prone to "losing" evidence he taught…

Law school is terrible, especially 1L. I cried all the time and midway through 2nd semester walked into the Dean of Student Affairs office and announced I was dropping out and enrolling in a 3rd tier school, all while crying. Luckily that lovely lady sat me down and talked me down, allowed me to drop a class I was…

I think the main reason people are surprised about Clooney's new girl is not because she's intelligent, but rather, that every woman he has dated up until now has been some sort of cocktail waitress working the day shift at an off the strip Las Vegas bar who dreams of one day working as a bikini model.

These two are to Sookie what Maxie was to Barbie.

Aw thanks! Yeah, I think it's pretty likely that people who do this kind of crap are terrible people who are miserable. I only hope that their lives are as shitty as they try to make people feel. Adult bullies are one of the most awful vile things on this earth and they should be called out on their awful behavior.

I have a prosthetic eye due to an accident during childhood and the shit men, yes almost ALWAYS men, have said to me boggles the fucking mind. So yeah, it didn't even cross my mind that this could be fake, because I've been there too many times. Luckily 20 some odd years of dealing with it has made me strong and I can…

Same! That series was my introduction to Piers Anthony.

I'm currently playing a size queen. The reviews have been favorable.

My Buster Bluth can hop 4.5 feet. I discovered this after finding dog toys on the bed. He tries so hard to look innocent but he's not good at cleaning the scene.

If Sherman Q. Pantsfondler is not a real name I am going to be very sad. This name just made my night.

Sea cucumbers are my idiot cousin's latest get rich quick scheme. After a decade and a half spent in China trying to "close the deal" on a single nebulous project (he has yet to able to explain in words) he now spends his days off the coast of Florida hunting for sea cucumbers while talking up how much money he'll…

Sorry, I get really knee jerky when Mad Men comes up. I find its popularity bizarre and can't understand why more people of color don't speak out more about how the show comes across, the subjects that it chooses to cover during such a rich time in American history for other cultures, etc. Yay it's visually appealing,…

Yes but "The Wire" featured non white characters in major roles. Living in Baltimore I felt it was fairly accurate in its reflection of the city's makeup.
