@Le Kangourou de Kataroo: I would ask a scientist how does the double voting work, but I don't wanna talk to them. MFers lyin', getting me pissed.

@traumamama: Oooooh hells no. Those pictures are digital. That means they can live forever in someone's flash drive with two clicks of a mouse and no one the wiser, aside from the upstanding TSA worker, who goes home and adds them to their illicit spank-bank. Paranoid? Maybe. But the technology means it's possible,…

I was expecting the student in question to be decked out in a mini-skirt and tank-top, at the very least. Imagine my surprise when the attire that solicited such approbation was a low-cut t-shirt and low-cut jeans. Land-o'Goshen, where's me handkerchief, for me to be a-clutchin'?! The professor should be pleased her…

@summerisnotaverb: The issue of what to call the ruling sovereign's consort has been a bit sticky in Britain since Henry VIII or before, especially in the case of a female monarch. "Queen Regnant", such as Elizabeth II, needs to petition Parliament to grant a title to her consort higher than "Prince Consort", mainly…

The entire interview bothered me so much. Why didn't Anderson call him out on apologizing *for the words he used* instead of *what he said*? Here you have an honest, self-confessed bigot, and you're taking him to task for using the word "queer"? Imagine if someone said, "I don't think n*****s should be allowed to mix…

I take strong issue with their appropriation of a Summer Glau picture to illustrate this story. When I think of something ass-kickingly-awesome, I think Summer Glau. And this pageant is pretty much the complete opposite of that.

@bluetrainlove: What I most enjoyed was how she implicitly linked alcoholism and addiction to obesity, which "people have a ton of control over." Riiiight. (Also GAH for ending a sentence with a preposition.)

@introverted_innovator: I often use just ranch dressing. For ranch potatoes, it is uh-mazing.

In a way I'm glad I lurk or ignore these sort of debates about semantics. I'm a bi-sexual-poly-amorous-cis-gendered-woman-in-a-committed-open-hetero-relationship, and I'm perfectly happy to meet people who say "That wouldn't work for me." Great! And what you're doing, what with the marriage and babies and monogamy and…

@B.Stanwyck: I beg to differ with your evo-psych analysis of sexual attraction. Women did evolve to find "fit" mates more attractive, but "fitness" doesn't automatically translate to strongest, most handsome, smelliest, best rock-mover, etc.

@lawyergay: Eeeeeeeww.

@Zack Stentz: Ehk-tually, Ripley & Sarah Connor both pass the Bechdel test in their second outings with Newt and Mrs Dyson, respectively.

@lo2162: While I understand the point you are making, you are engaging in a No-True-Scotsman Fallacy. While you may find a member of the KKK or a neo-Nazi morally abhorrent, if they attend Christian services, or claim to follow Christian doctrine, they are also Christians, disappointing as it may be for other…

"My other robot is a vibrator"

@DannyOcean: That Femmephane post reminded me of feminist blog-trolls who post things like "Why are you worried about Street Harrassment when people are being Raaaped? You are wasting your time on worthless bullshit."

Interesting note: Before her marriage to Tareq, his wife spelled her name "Michelle" and worked at a make-up counter. She has claimed she did make-up for several celebrities and British royalty, but there's no evidence for this one way or the other.

Do something sexy and spontaneous to keep yourself on your guy's mind, because any second he's not thinking about you is a second wasted... but all guys hate a clingy girl, so try to be independent and fun, not a nagging harpy.

"Tantamount to sacrifice"?

@SuperMeels: I really enjoyed that the post to Facebook wall was letter-salad, rather than actual words. Some guy at the planning session: "What should the phone be posting to Facebook? 'Let's go shopping'? 'Wanna hang out'? A fuck it, let's just have it post 'lwhmn.hfhgt.amwendf!" This is truly advanced communication.

So conservatives are *against* being seduced by sexy young college men now? I think there's a few Congressmen who haven't gotten that memo yet.
