except a flapjack uses oats not granola.

Hey we have cookies. They're just like a particular type of biscuit. Out of interest I know Americans sometimes call pancakes flapjacks, what do you call actual flapjacks? As in the oat bars, are those also flapjacks?

I love Cookie Monster. He was always my favorite and he just gets better with age.

Jia, I totally agree, and I'm even going to let "talented person" slide by without anything more than minor side-eye, because I fully admit that's me being a bitch. Lena has been flooded with "OMG HOW DARE THIS LUMPY CHICK GET NAKED" for so long that it overshadows legitimate criticism. And lord, there is a lot to…

I'm pretty sure she's being scolded for the right reasons: i.e. being an oversharing, solipsistic, privileged twit who thinks every damn thought that crosses her brain is a Precious Pearl That Needs to Be Expressed to the World.

So much happened (its really kind of crazy) that she kind of had to pick her battles like I did. Since moving a few times activity has been pretty dormant as of late, I think she's happy about it. This story ties into a much larger arc of bullshit thats followed me my whole life. Needless to say I don't keep…

So my best friends theory was that it wasn't trying to pull me out, rather trying to make sure I didn't break my ass on all that shit on the floor. Which 1.) begs the question of what DID and 2.) made me point at her and yell YOU BELIEVE YOU BELIEEEEVE

Thanks. She later told me she was getting her PhD and had had her funding cut. As a doc student myself, I felt even better for sticking my neck out. But, honestly, I feel like when people do shit like that, they have no clue what that might do to someone on a given day. I think manners are important and that they…

"Oh, nothing, honey, I was just doing a little public service in there."

No, a proper Caesar salad NEVER has bacon it it. Or tomatoes or any other weird shit. It's also not vegetarian. It's romaine, dressing (olive oil, lemon, black pepper, anchovies, egg yolk, maybe some dijon mustard, salt), croutons, parmesan, and maybe some extra anchovies.

I don't get treating those in the service industry like shit.

Always, as far as I know. (If you're a vegetarian, don't trust the cheese, either. Most fancy Parmesan is made with animal rennet.)

Well, a stupid haircut and dressing up like a 45 year old hipster would more or less do the trick. Although if that were the standard then 70% of my neighbourhood is wearing a Jian Ghomeshi costume most days.

Wow. How can you do a "costume" for this guy exactly? Come up with a stupid/racist idea of what a Persian looks like? Also, where is Jian Ghomeshi right now? He needs to come out of hiding and face the music, the piece of trash that he is.

Also, if your Halloween costume needs a nametag, it sucks regardless.

Sorry I'm a bit late to the party. I've had paranormal experiences since I was little (probably 4 or 5 is the earliest I can remember). Some have been absolutely terrifying, but unfortunately I can't share for fear of being doxxed. However, there were a couple of creepy things that happened a couple years ago I…

(A little late to the party, but figured I would share none the less.) Back in the mid to late 80's, I was about 10, my younger brother 3-4 years younger, depending on the month. Anyway, I used to have this sweet boombox that I got for my birthday, big and grey, equalizer, dual speakers...break dancing style. We used…

A few years ago, I was traveling with my best friend in San Francisco. We picked a hotel that was described as "boutique" but would more appropriately have been described as "creepy" and "unsettling". We checked in in the later evening and as soon as we crossed into the room, something hit me that made me feel…

I posted this on Gawker, figured I'd share here too.
