"Prez?"

Prez.

"the meth-addled crocodile emporium that is Florida!"

Don't forget, overrun with gigantic swamp snakes.

Like the Winter Soldier, but for entertainment rather than political assassinations. Also fewer Soviet scientists involved (but not a *lot* fewer...)

"he was passionately opposed to water fluoridation"

What. A. Scumbag.

My mother would often bring us infant children with her for dinner/drinks meet-ups with buddies and they all thought she was crazy. "A baby? It will cry the whole time!" But each one of us (as infants) were champeen sleepers, and never fussed. Her friends thought we were all possessed. She did have the good sense to…

While of course illegal and mean and very wrong in real life, I feel there are few purer physical jokes in comedy than the sucker-punch. The mark doesn't see it coming, then *bam*, right in the face. Bonus humor if the mark makes an awkward groaning noise afterwards. But it stops being funny if the mark cries.

This is exactly why I don't watch porn, with my husband or by myself. He favors the "amateur" pornsites, but even in those, it is so obvious to me that the women are straight-up faking it. All the camera angles and positions are oriented around penetration shots and action, and the sex itself just looks *exhausting*,…

On the question of why women are more often portrayed as the crazed stalker trying to *become* the object of their obsession (vs. *possessing* them as the common male-stalker plot): could it have to do with what is emphasized in media as the ideal for women vs. that for men? Certainly, both sexes have a media-pushed…

I thought the goal of sorority recruitment was to recruit women?

Why the obsession with wearing hair down? What's wrong with buns, braids, and ponytails? I have had long hair for the past few years, which is a pretty big departure from the bobs and pixie-cuts I sported for most of my life. And I wear it down maaaybe once a week. It gets blown in my face and hangs in my eyes when I…

There is no pre-natal testing available for autism-spectrum disorders, and they are usually not diagnosed (or diagnosable) prior to ages 2-4. Perhaps you are thinking of Down syndrome and other chromosomal disorders?

Either way, it doesn't matter. The definition of a birth defect too major to carry to term is up to…

I don't think Cosby's version of events would ever satisfy the public or his victims, and would never be a basic admission of guilt or declamation of crimes. It would be couched in lots of "She came on to me!" and "Why else was she alone with me?" and "I didn't realize how drunk she was/how strongly those pills…

I'm conflicted on that one. I don't think that incarceration, as practiced in this country, serves many (or sometimes any) of the purposes it purports to (rehabilitation of criminals, prevention of violent crimes by detaining violent offenders, deterring crime by being a terrible place no one wants to go.) However, if…

I really liked the "100% Real" segment, when they all admitted (supposedly) honest answers to tough questions. Wilmore stated that he would, in fact, welcome Cosby on his new show, (after the discussion when Wilmore stated the above conviction about Cosby's guilt), which I thought was an order of magnitude more honest…

It's not even disturbing to me, it's *so* odd. How... does one even have that idea occur to them? Did he play tennis? Did she? Did he have a life-long fascination with the inside of balls, and was always sawing them open to see? Why the packing peanuts? Was he afraid the ball would break in the mail? How did he keep…

Using the freezer for shelter is awesome quick thinking on his part and was probably the safest place they could be, but damn, the idea of being stuck in a dark freezer for hours, knowing a murderous gunman is in the building, waiting for someone to come and not able to check if its safe, or talk, or breath very…

During my Peace Corps "Don't Fuck Anything Or Your Genitals Will Turn Purple" training presentation, they handed out bananas to start, then went thru the "Here's a syphilitic corpse! It's okay, we put a black bar over the eyes!" Slide Show for a solid 20 minutes. Then they said we could all eat the bananas. Since…

Like how he buried that whole, "I'm in my 40's" thing waaay down past all the shit the woman has to do/be to pass muster with him. And made sure to state that he has had Much of Teh Sexes, and is, in fact, "oversexed." Yeah.

You're welcome. I was actually able to have the secular ceremony I wanted with my friend officiating only because same-sex marriage was recently legalized in my jurisdiction. Prior to that, the only way to have a non-religious officiant was to use a courthouse-appointed one, AT the courthouse. I was planning to do a…

I am in the middle of the pack age-wise among my cousins and siblings, so when I was planning my wedding, several relatives already had kids ranging from very young to elementary school age. My entire family wedding list was essentially a long string of people that had to be invited if one person was invited (i.e., of…
