Yeeeah... the page I linked actually redirects to that one (Pinyan doesn't have his own page). But it's horrible enough to be linked twice.

As a guy I can say... I dunno. I've never tried. But then I've never been accused of sexual harassment, either, so clearly I'm doing something wrong.

I used to really like Dr. Drew... when did he turn into Dr. Phil?

At some point "budget" started meaning things that were beyond my budget. Not that I'd mind spending $100-150 on a nice set of cans... I just have a hell of a lot better things to spend the money on. I just refinanced my car, for instance. I could pay that sucker off $150 faster (2/3rds of one month!).

Better penis cancer than death by peritonitis... no one in Washington can talk about Enumclaw anymore. It used to be another city with a silly name. Now it's just the city where that guy got fucked to death by a horse.

You lost any semblance of respectability by referring to people with whom you disagree as "little girls." It's not 1984 anymore. No one worth talking to over the age of 20 would find that insult anything but lame (or funny). But, really, for me it's all about the rationality. If you need to insult people to win an…

All I see is a future news story of a stupid college kid getting shot by police while opening a beer bottle.

I'm confused where you got that anyone said Reed was a good person (or, more flagrantly, that he's good because he's famous), or that his music was good. Neither serenada nor I said either of those things. Ironically, serenada made a reference that shows he/she knows famous != good/talented by mentioning Kim…

Short butt o' the point? I don't get it!

My thoughts exactly. Even if you don't like his stuff, how have you never heard of him? He's done songs and albums with god damn everybody.

Varivax is the chickenpox vaccine. It can be included with the MMR, then called the MMRV, or given separately. Most people who get the vaccine never get chickenpox, but if they do it's a considerably more mild case (a handful of spots that go away in a couple days), and not life threatening.

The Varivax vaccine grants the same relative immunity as contracting chickenpox, without the discomfort. It's recommended you get a booster later in life, but even without most people never contract chickenpox, and if they do it's very mild. There's really no reason to put your kid through having chickenpox.

For those of you wondering what the comments below say, I'll give you a summary.

I can imagine the meeting that led to this.

I've been curious what happens if two people who were the children of hyphenated parents decide to get married. Like, say, a guy named Bob Jones-Smith marries a Sally James-Anders. What do you do? Become Sally and Bob James-Anders-Jones-Smith?

Yeah, my most recent ex and I discussed it, and the whole discussion of what our last names would be if we married was predicated by, "Unless one or both of us publish before we get married..." because seriously I want everyone to be able to find our work. That shit's important.

My ex and I talked about what we'd do if we got married, who would take whose last name, and what not. It was a pretty short conversation, considering the amount of sociocultural influence on the practice, but in the end we decided that 1) My last name is 7 letters long and hers is 9, so hyphenation was out because…

He's referring to the value of the ratio when represented as a percentage. Or on a number line, if you prefer (distance between the number and 0). If the second digit were twice as long as the fourth digit the ratio would be 2:1, or 2/1, or 2 (200% of the length of the 4th digit). If the fourth digit were twice as…

I've never personally been vertically integrated, but I had a cat that got integrated in my vertical blinds, and it wasn't pretty. So, I'm with you on that one.
