My parents and in-laws always joked about writing us a check and letting us elope, so we did. No regrets. :)

A proud one, yes. But really, everything Natasha writes is rife with errors, grammatical and often factual. I don’t understand how someone trained as a journalist can have so little respect for good and careful writing.

I can’t make heads or tails of half of what you write, Natasha. First, you say that Kipnis makes reference to two different students who complained against Ludow. Then you refer to Ludow’s suit against one of them, but the sentence reads as if there was only one complaint against him (“against the student”). You also…

Yep, also coming to post this. As a former employment litigator, current EEO specialist, it never ceases to blow my fucking mind that Clarence Thomas was, at one point, the Chairman of the whole goddamn EEOC. Could the Reagan administration have sent a more glaring message that they did not value the rights of women…

Congratulations? Good thing that leaves you with all that time to comment on articles about shows you don't watch.

I still laugh about the otherwise-intelligent family friend who was making brownies. The recipe said to butter the bottom of the pan...so she did.

Uuuggggh, it's distressing how many of these I've done myself. This was one of my grossest experiences.

Yep, did that. Goddamn unpleasant.

My grandmother made a fruit tart and brought it for Christmas dinner a couple years ago. The custard filling, I discovered, was flavored with an Italian dressing seasoning packet. She says she got the recipe from a magazine, so we think it was a “Rachel’s trifle” situation. Bless her heart, today is her 93rd birthday…

Not defending these creeps or that fucking molester in any way, but I don’t read the quote as Jessa saying that her brother taught her to kiss, but rather that she might ask him for advice in preparation for her wedding. No need to further sensationalize the story.

My uncle took a big swig of “apple juice” directly from a glass jar on our counter. It was used oil. Served him right.

The actual produced content on the site isn't terrible, it's the discussion groups that are just insane. But entertaining!

I like your outlook. And yes, I see the same thing with my parents blaming themselves for my sister’s myriad issues and not taking enough credit for producing two other kids who are reasonably productive, functional members of society.

Don’t bother with What to Expect. Everyone on that site is 19 and living in their boyfriend’s parents’ basement in West Virginia.

Ha, yes, that seems like a pretty good track record! And yes, my son is pretty awesome a lot of the time, but I will be the first to admit that, like every other small child ever, he’s also kind of an asshole a lot of the time. That's reality. I just do my best and hope I'm not screwing him up too terribly. :)

Yes, but it’s much more commonly and traditionally beef. I don’t think my first thought would be “pork ass hands.”

Ha, one of my best friends was a production assistant with Zach Braff back in his production assisting days, and she's always sworn he was an arrogant little prick.

Yeah, but the weird thing is pastrami is usually made with beef, not pork.

Ehh, just find yourself a sarcastic asshole friend who’s having a baby at roughly the same time as you, and then join a regular site. Send each other screencaps of the ridiculousness and make fun of all the idiots. It’s more entertaining than an actual useful non-mushy site would be. Another option is to check out…

Aww, thanks, you made my night!
