Celebrity Apprentice - The Pompous Windbag and Ambulance Chaser Edition.

I don't think that Flynt is nearly as sexually un-repressed as he'd like to think. If he truly was a sexy free spirit he wouldn't see oral sex as degrading to the person doing it, and this regular feature in his magazine would not exist. In order for the "joke" to work, the reader has to think that seeing someone with…

So what you're saying is, it's his own fault? I'm curious - do you apply this logic to strippers too? Rape victims? Women who're sexually harrassed at work?

Newfies are amazing with kids, they're so patient. Also I know that people generally don't recommend them but I've known several sled-breed dogs, both Huskies and Malamutes, that have been great with kids, and one of the Malamutes was great with cats too, would let the neighborhood kittens use him as a climbing frame.

Broccoli doesn't work for me, and I don't like avocado in general, but other than that cosigned. It's not that I don't like some meat toppings, but I went out for pizza yesterday at a place that has awesome slices and picked the pesto and mushroom and the eggplant slices over the pepperoni and sausage ones, because…

Aw, doggie babysitters. My grandmother's Border Collie was mine when I was a toddler - her job was to keep me from falling down the stairs when I decided to wander and the adults weren't paying attention, and to give me piggy-backs. Herding dogs naturally tend to herd children without any prompting needed, and Newfies…

The last time I wore a halter top I was 15, and even then my boobs were much too heavy to have them hanging off of my neck by a string all day without making me feel like I was suffering a very slow form of decapitation.

Can we please stop acting like women who do porn are alien creatures from another planet who shouldn't be out and about doing normal people things? Most Americans seem to like posing for pics with Presidents and former Presidents. These women look rather more excited to be in that photo than Clinton does. Which makes…

There's a reason I chose this username...

I think poorly prepared veggies eaten as kids scar some people for life, and if they're forced to keep eating them anyway they learn to associate veggies with disgust and feelings of resentment, and then cut them out of their diets completely as adults. As a kid in the Middle East and North Africa I'd happily eat a…

We need a word for that behavior, I think, a new variation on mansplaining. Dietsplaining? Weightsplaining? Neither of those feel quite right, but the behavior is so common that we need to have some sort of shorthand for it.

Proposed solution - keep the pizza, but mandate that it must have vegetables on it. That way the kids will not only get some veggies, they may even learn that vegetables can be tasty as they accidentally ingest a piece of mushroom/bell pepper/spinach and realise that it's not as horrible as they feared. This is an…

I still say that I learned to cook in self-defence because my school's food was so awful.

Hey, folks, if you must* post comments about how terrible it is that the site the pic above was stolen from is "promoting obesity" and blah blah diabetes, could you at least try to be vaguely original? Because the comments in that vein that I'm seeing so far are so dull and repetitive that they look like they were all…

I'm waiting for the headline now.*

"You can't get fat by standing next to a fat person or looking at a fat person and not hating them. It's not a fucking virus."

There's a particular kind of Christian in this country that seems to be convinced that gay sex is the best thing ever, kind of like a cross between chocolate fudge cake and cocaine. If you even vaguely suggest that doing it might not result in instant death then all the kids will be at it! Because it's just so…

Sometimes not, on the first question. There are people who think that vaccines will kill your pet. In fact, there seems to be a distinct overlap between people who think vaccines will give your kid autism and people who think that getting your cat vaccinated will kill the cat in some sinister but unspecified way.

That can be part of the class too. "Just because girls have visible breast development doesn't mean that it's OK to hit on them when all the other visual clues are confirming that they're still kids".

Some day those of us who've travelled a lot should have a "worst place you've ever been in terms of street harrassment" marathon. I vote for Italy, because more than one guy grabbed my butt when I was walking along HOLDING HANDS WITH MY MOM, aged about 10 or 11. Though the dude who followed me around a souk in Jubail…
