This will be a real stain on their record. I bet their Yelp rating is plummeting.

#correction - I think we're missing some bolding on the second question regarding the friend and the wedding. I was very confused for a moment as to how this tale of the lost friend acting out at the wedding related to friend with the brat.

Indeed. Think how incredible it would have been as an 10-part HBO mini-series. Ahh, the possibilities....

I don't have any hope that the movie will have all of the brilliant and endlessly fascinating sociological complexity of the book (seriously, WWZ is one of the most surprisingly fascinating books I've ever read; it's not remotely what you think it is), but this trailer, at least, looks like a pretty damn good movie. …

Jesus H. Christ this is awful. But I will limit myself to one comment/question at the moment: why eliminate the scroll of stories along the right hand side? Among all the thousands of extra clicks you're forcing, now I have to go back to the main screen and start all over again. Seriously, guys, why do you hate us…

You're awesome, bellaloma (great name, BTW). I lost my daughter to that awful disease two years ago this Wednesday. She was much younger, but you have the same incredible spirit she had. No matter how your story ends or when, in my book, you've already beaten cancer. Hugs.

Crap. I don't like raw tomatoes, capers, or olives. I hope my wife won't leave me. I was so close!

Thank God Robin Williams didn't go. Some of those kids would never have been seen again.

A few years ago, when he was still at Man City, I was in Portland for work and they were there for the pre-season and staying in my hotel. I was giddy as a school girl and had a great time talking with many of the players in the elevator, lobby etc. Even Mancini, who was in his first year, was friendly. At one…

Question: If fat burning is the primary goal, is there a difference between the two types of training (Slow v. HIIT/Tabata) if the workouts are the same length? In other words, what's the better fat burning workout if you do the same distance or time: Workout 1 - steady 7.5 mph run for 5 miles; or Workout 2 -…

The internet's an amazing thing, bringing the world together since 19-something! Good luck!

Several years ago, I represented a lesbian high school student pro bono in a case against her school district. The case focused on a claim of disparate treatment, i.e., she and her girlfriend were punished more harshly than straight couples for violating the school's "no affection" policy, but we also brought a right…

Ok, fess up: how many of you scrolled back up after reading the end of the article quote to see if there was a window in the picture?

Honey, is that you? When did you get a gawker account?

I agree - and it's good for adults as much as it is for children. When my daughter died, I found it important to say that she had died. She hadn't passed on or passed away or earned her angel wings. She died. The word is harsh and unpleasant to hear, but it helped me stand up and face the cold, hard fact that she…

"And on two separate occasions, girlfriends of players have had underwear removed from them while sleeping, even though they were wearing pants. Each time, the undergarments were discovered in another place."

Definitely not because I'd fear appearing gay. I genuinely don't worry about that kind of stuff. I posed the question because I find it interesting how there are certain "niceties" that I can't deny are gender-specific, even though I don't feel they are spurred by some notion that women are weak and need my help.

I think that's a little harsh. That said, what's your suggestion: not give her the umbrella because I wouldn't give it a male friend or colleague? Is that equality?

Yes. Although I used my wife as an example, I wouldn't limit the act to only those I loved. Also, it assumes that, in giving up my coat, I would be the one who was cold.

This may be a distinction without a difference, but the focus is more on what a guy is typically expected to give up to another guy, i.e., my impulse is, "dude, you're on your own" whereas I would feel the displeased glare of my great-grandfather boring down on me from the great beyond if I traipsed back to the…
