I wish you put "baseball bat" in the title.

While I was in college, I had a couple people come up to me and ask me my major. When I replied "anthropology", they nodded in interest and followed up with a "Do you believe in Jesus?". Knee-jerk reaction (since I knew where this was going) was to just say "yes" and continue walking. But after the "yes", they kept…

I teeter on the edge of atheist and agnostic and I have a canned response to anyone who starts trying to proselytize me: I just smile really big and cheerily say, "Already saved!"

I live in Colorado (though I hail from England), and I wasn't surprised that two of the Jesus stories were based here. I have some good 'crazy Christian' stories, my best one was from when I worked for a retailer for a time here (in a suburb of Denver) as a cashier at a retail clothing chain.

I had a woman come…

I kind of wanted to request a big bowl so I could march everything two by two into it and carry them all off to safety. In my gut.

I was mentioned by name in a suicide note by a boy I'd turned down. While I feel badly for his death, I do not, cannot and WILL NOT take blame for his actions because I refused to date him. I am so sick of this idea that men are owed a date/kiss/blowjob/anything just because they want it. Nobody owes anybody…

They are the unsung heroes of the service industry. I try to be that customer when I am on the other side of the counter because I know how much that can mean to an employee who is just trying to make it through the day with a minimum amount of bullshit and grief.

They published her name and the location where she works. They put her in danger. Yes, we need to call that out. I talked to someone who is friends with her family, and they are terrified. This asshole had fans, and they are already threatening her life, among other things.

My mother used to call this kind of thing a "Mom move" —

Yeah, but I mean, it was her dad who was quoted. Sure, they didn't have to include the quote, but I'm sure most dads are going to be effusively praiseful of their daughters when being interviewed by the press.

This is what bothers me about Jezebel's headline (which I understand is probably a headline by extension, but whatevs) - I took a look at this dude's long, rambling manifesto and none of these girls really actively snubbed him. As in, turned him down, told him no. The vast majority of them had no idea he even had…

I personally can't even OR odd.

And they're named after ancient Egyptian things because the former owner of the actual house where they shoot Downton was a famed Egyptologist who was instrumental in the discovery of King Tut's tomb!

"Lord Grantham's dog" is named Isis. You call this journalism?

Sherpa carries 13 year old to top of Everest. Fixed.

I went and made the flank steak for everybody yesterday. Wow, all my questions in life have been answered. Everything suddenly became clear. Communal meat. Annoying relatives suddenly became tolerable. The baby's crying was muted by this medium-rare slab of hot cow. Extending you a 1.5 second white bro-hug. Thanks for…

Whatever, Malavath Purna. When I was 13 I got a Participant Physical Fitness Award, so I'm kind of a big deal too.

The moment I heard that Everest is littered with frozen corpses and that they're often used as road markers ("we're near the dead guy in the red parka, only 100 feet to the summit!"), I decided I never wanted to be anywhere near Everest.

Good for her if that's what she wanted to do, but why is anybody still allowed to climb everest? What possible purpose does it serve other than gratifying one's own ego? Yay, you spent thousands of dollars (maybe hundred of thousands) "accomplishing" this monumental task. Is the world a better place now?
