Wait, they have a Johanna AND a Joy-Anna? This is somehow worse to me right now than anything else they've done.

I felt the same way (I'm Texan) but then a bit sad, only because with the exception of my bff, every Mexican-American I know is a Republican.* :\

I've always suspected that people are more conservative about boy names that girl names because people are more likely to think about a boy as a man than they are to think of a girl as a woman, hence you see a lot more willingness to have cutesy names in baby girls than in baby boys...

You must be reading the NIV. The King James has it as the Book of Jaxon.

Ahhh yes. And the Temptation of Jinger.

Do you not remember the Shaming of Jordyn-Grace? From Chapter 4 of the Book of Jackson?

As someone that is actually part of a huge family whose names are all Biblical, I always thought her name choices blew ass. The vast majority of them aren't biblical at all, and are along the same lines as the Makaylas and Tinnifers of the world. Of that list not a single girl has a biblical name, and only 7 of the…

I was very disconcerted and uncomfortable with the emphasis, in the headlines from UK media coverage I saw, on the little girl's blonde-ness and the way the articles kept referring to her as a "young blonde girl" and repeatedly emphasizing that she is blonde. As if the blondeness is what makes the whole thing a real…

It just made me tired to read that. I mean, don't get me wrong - I love the Dalai Lama, and I think he's an incredibly spiritual person ... and both the head ministers at my own house of worship are ... very fine-looking. (Which I think helps with their international stature, but that's another level of discussion…

I don't think the only reason they don't sell larger sizes is because they "don't make money from it". This type of simplistic Econ 101 thinking misses a ton of extra situations from a marketing perspective that are holding them back from doing this. A company doesn't only make business decisions with a consideration…

I see this common complaint on Plus Sized Fashion Blogs and while on some level I get it, it seems absurd to me. Why stop at 26s? Why doesn't Lane Bryant sell stuff up to 34? 40? What about people bigger than that?

The same can be said for trying to find band sizes below a 32. In VS, it's impossible, so while I like their styles, I go elsewhere. A wider range of sizes would open up their target market so much.

Yeah so, foreskins are not actually part of the cure. It's just a kind of skin that's extremely shitty at growing human hair (glabrous skin, which is naturally hairless), so it serves as a good way to test the harshest conditions possible.

The back story is that he hooked up with this chick in Vegas while there for a DJ gig. I believe the exact quote used as "he had no previous relationship with the woman." He just found out about it now.

God, of course yes. I'm not expecting this to turn into some big media circus or anything. It's just....he's put that statement in the public sphere. If his kid ever looks back, they could well be like "wow. So my dad was super happy to have me then".

Isn't that painful? She could probably get it removed.

When I was 19, I worked as a nurses' aide in a nursing home. My job was to bathe and feed people, change out the bedsheets, clean up after the old wrinklies (a term of endearment — I love old people), etc. Nasty, dirty, difficult and unrewarding job.

Man, that Thursday night line up really was the stuff dreams are made of.

I guess I've really given up on NBC, then. They had some great stuff going there for a few years. An evening of Community, Parks & Rec, 30 Rock and The Office meant I was glued to my tv all Thursday evening, just like the olden days. But ratings-wise, they were losing to CBS, which upset them. It appears they…
