K, y'all, so I read a tome of a book, called Albion's Seed (it was fantastic) and the section on the Puritan names was just as you say. That name Fly-Fornication? A woman, in fact, and the spelling was probably Ffly-Fornication. Page 97, and I quote, "A classic example was an unfortunate young woman named Ffly…

I'd oblige you via Etsy for a fee, but I've forgotten the incantation for "cross-stitch."

Whatchoo got, Sug? Piss n vinegar runnin through those veins? Thought so.

Giiirrrl, I am about to blow your mind. Ammonia. Buy it for two dolla at the grocery store and let your panties soak in it for 30 minutes. Then launder as usual. Ammonia's good for protein stains, essentially. Put your white tees in too to get rid of pit stains.

Oh I'm surprised. I live in the US but spend time with my family in Newcastle. Meh. Well. You'll figure it out.

I like your candidness. I think that's pretty normal, especially if you live in the US where you don't see it as much as in Europe. It's like anything; the more you see it, the less you notice it. No worries, dude! You'll get it! Anyhoo, a little awkwardness is much more preferable than the kind of scenario above.

Outdated, not out dated. The latter could refer to my yesterday evening rendezvous, the former to my yesterday evening ballgown.

Nah. It's structurally more similar to tickling. Can be dirty, can be familial, depending on your intent. Sleazeball level of the profile pic is a good acid test.

Girrrrl, don't forget the ammonia!! Shit'll take the protein stains right out. Use for blood and sweat. Soak 30 min. Launder as usual.

Drysol. Rx only, but I swear to god it changed my life. (Changed my wardrobe anyway, which is close.) Ya, ya, I'm with probs most of you on the chemical/toxicity thing, but I was one of those people with the GIANT wet pools under my arms. Dress shirts were anathema and pastels— well— don't make me laugh. They'd be…

Islam, like Christianity, is at heart a warring religion. Plenty of Qur'an verses advocate extreme violence to infidels. I'm with Hitchens when he said that the peaceful Muslims are reading the text wrong.

THIS!!! Having once been there, I now consider Christianity *at its core* to be malicious, controlling, self-loathing and depreciating of women. At its periphery, I see a wasteland of skeletons and grievances, rape and AIDS-spreading condom-banning, greed and child abuse, skeletons barely hiding under the whitewashed…

Oh, she was responding to a Monty Pythonesque commenter who was all, "'Ware everyone, not just pantsy ladies, cause I worked with a skirty witch!"

Don't miss the commenters talking about pants and witches!!

Did you see the commenters gnashing their teeth at the toddler bikinis, decrying "immodest toddlers"?!! I stand by what I've always thought: If you can *think* something like that, you're bent as fuck.

YES! The commenters! Their anger and attempts to control everyone are delectable! I LOVE the futility!!!

You GUYS!! You have GOT to read Simcha Fisher's blog. She writes for the National Catholic Register and is about as hateful as they make 'em. She's a good writer, actually, and funny as hell— but mean as hell. Here's her post on why men who get vasectomies aren't men anymore: http://www.ncregister.com/blog/simcha-fi…

Precisely.

Oh Lindy, you had me at "holy garbage man." Bless you, my child, for your ludicry.

It is a little blue bubble of oxygen. Seriously, though, after about two days outside of it I get a little dropsical.
