It wouldn't even have been the first time two immortals had been in the Tardis for an extended period: Hello, Doctor and Romana?

So, is Dads in Need of Wine a thing we can make happen? Or does that descend into CPS jokes even more quickly?

^^^^this.

The suspicious part is that it doesn’t look like her normal drawings, but if she were asked to try to use a famous artist’s style (common art teacher ploy), it might not. If you really want to know, ask the teacher. You might embarrass her into the truth.

Literally my favorite end-of-year present was when some students made me a CD of beach music and gave it to me with a little baggie of sand and shells, a tropical fruit juice box, and some pretzels. It's very hard to find gifts for people you don't really know that well, and usually best not to try!

Yeah, they were all dressed for a party. No, I believe they did not get paid for parking cars — at least, I’m sure the middle manager/exempt employees didn’t get paid.

I worked for a family-owned company for nine years. Famously, the owner invited employees to a holiday party at his mansion...and then had them parking cars for the actual guests.

Yes, I do sometimes have a hard time finding music written from a woman’s perspective, performed and produced by women...oh wait, Mr. Iovine, is that not what you meant?

Great boots, made in America by people earning decent wages.

I have some sympathy for Amy. If my movie had made $110M, I would expect people who worked in my health club to know who I fucking was.

“Swervin’ in my Lane,” by Robert Earl Keen. Seriously country, seriously funny, seriously true: “...You’re just too dim to know, that when you’re swervin’ on life’s highway, you’re running someone off the road.”

In Rhode Island, where Anthony Bourdain spent his youth, telling someone he looks like the result “if Ed Hardy fucked a juggalo” is a conversational love-tap. If people aren’t insulting you, they don’t like you.

Looks as if the article has been updated.

$780 a month? Indefinite alcohol ban? Tested on men? There is nothing about this story that doesn't make me smack my forehead.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen counter staff count money with their gloves on, then go right back to preparing food. No, dude — money is about as sanitary as a baby’s diaper.

Your way makes more sense, sadly.
