Yup, he’s a farmboy from Iowa.  As such, he may be better at reaching a rural white demographic.

A friend of mine back in the 80s had a saying about how if you thought naming your baby after a soap opera character was a good idea, you were too immature to be having said baby.  I think the same applies here - no way should you be raising children if you think naming it after Twilight characters is a good idea.

Both the CGI and this freakish doll look alarmingly like all my SILs kids when they were babies.  Whenever I see photos of them, my first impulse is to jump back out of the way.

can’t the MTA arrest his ass?  He documented his vandalization himself.

I love how two of the women in the second pic are cleverly avoiding being caught on camera - I want to know more. Were they lovers there for a clandestine tryst? Time travelers? Is one of them Agatha Christie on her missing weekend?

May I add, get off my lawn! (Shakes fist in the direction of people naming children any of the following: Sir, Queen, Duke, Princess, Prince)

Apparently, the newest way to go viral right now is to hold a book in front of your chest and encourage your girlfriend to shoot you through it.

I read Lace for the first time (of many) when I was about 12. It may have warped my perspective a little, and certainly gave me costuming goals.

The FDA maintains a list of ingredients that are considered GRAS (generally recognized as safe). These are official designations, and the list is added to on a regular basis. If the ingredients are on that list, they are considered non-toxic at normal exposure levels, although that doesn’t mean that individuals can’t…

Quibbling with the headline: My understanding was it wasn’t that people hated coffee, but that it was new and subversive. It wasn’t drunk at home, but at coffeehouses, which encouraged young people to go out and spend time with strangers and plot world domination. Coffeehouses were the sign of the revolution.…
