Less than you would think. Honestly, the Rorschach is rarely the only assessment given in a battery for diagnostic purposes...and the psychologist administering the test always asks if you're familiar with the cards. If you are, then they don't administer the test and they use another projective assessment. Not a…

The worst part is you need to inquire about their answers by using their words, so I had to say thing like "What makes it look like bloody vomit?" and have an adorable, lisping child answer "the red meat in it, it's all clompy and cool." Ahhhhhhh horrifying.

As someone who has diagnostically given the Rorschach I would just like to congratulate everyone for actually pretty normal answers. And yes, this is an actual card from the actual test, where did you find it LaComtesse?

Oh ah sorry I'll be in Austin BUT I'll be thinking about all the lovely people in College Station casting votes against this abhorrant hairpiece.

I cannot wait to cast the angriest, most indignant vote imaginable in November...and to all my Texas Jezzie's, I hope to see you there.

Yes, I have to admit that as much as I loved this article (I have forwarded it multiple times in the last 5 minutes, good use of my time at 4:30) the pit bull comment made me sad. My pup is just as enamored with a good lap as any poodle! She just looks...a little less elegant when showing her love.:)

Oh no, I'm very sad that Sahara has died! So talented...and likeable, on-stage and off. My boyfriend, who in general is not a fan, cited Sahara as the reason he couldn't watch...because her gymnastics/dancing during the lipsynch "set the bar way way too high." :(

Agreed, it does nothing for her and it's totally unsuited for a daytime award show. But the face saves it. :)

I'm going to start a letter writing campaign asking that George RR Martin write into the next book that Cersei becomes a brunette because...seriously, we are all losing out here.

Lena Headey is lovely with dark hair, but I never knew she had all those tattoos - gorgeous! Cersei, you're such a bitchy rebel...love it!

Oh lordy, the W-arm and WAR-m thing is peculiar. I pronounce it WAH-m, but I'm from Boston, so I linguistically discriminate against R's.

But then what if I get sick! It's better to be overweight, possibly, I guess? So then...pizza for all?

Ah, yes, minotaur birth myth (now with horses!). You know what, I think we might, as a society, have a bit of an obsession with ladies having weird, non-human things burst out of their vaginas. Like with the turn-of-the-century medium's who would release "ectoplasm" at seances....the substance of course emitting from…

Well, yes and no. There is definitely a lot more sodium in most processed foods...from things like baking soda (1,000 mg of salt in a teaspoon), etc. Just one ounce of American cheese has 406 mg of sodium. But salt itself is, well, sodium filled. The FDA suggests that the daily recommended amount of sodium is 2,300…

I used to do that too! But then I realized I could get the the DAY THEY CAME OUT, and I would beg my aunt to drive me to the mall once a month for that. Highlight of my tweens!

Excellent point, and it's really the second argument - when taken to the endpoint of 'you aren't being the RIGHT kind of gay, so change! - that pisses me off to no end. The minute someone says that it is best to limit the opportunities and choices of others, I become wary.

I feel similarly, but I would argue that societal discourse has cognitive dissonance around weight (thin is beautiful/big is beautiful/be yourself/be better than yourself!) and weight loss. We're just echoing it, and thus reinforcing it....

I can't think of anything worse!

I would argue that taking a pill/joining a weight-loss program/etc is an attempt to lift a finger, try to be agentic and control their weight...

Ah, but that's very different than saying two gay parents would be the worst thing ever, and thus it shouldn't happen at all.
