Don't venture over to the comments on Gawker's post on this topic. I repeat, DO NOT GO IN THERE.

Thank you! From the first moment I heard of this "Slender Man," I immediately thought, huh, that sounds like something straight out of Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark! But tamer?! And it's funny—when people keep pearl clutching, "why/how did the girls have access to these stories?!" All I can think is my sister and…

What else is there really to say right now? I think NYWoman sums it up aptly—it's a hoping/waiting game right now. She could pack in a few more cliches, or speculate on various details, but—at least, in my opinion— all that seems kind of extraneous when the *only* thing most of us know or can report with certainty…

Yeah, well, Iggy, you're not exactly a peer of Kurt Cobain's either, so I'd say you don't really have a dog in this fight. It's sweet that you are such a big Nirvana fan that you care deeply about how the tribute was handled, but don't fancy yourself the last bastion of safeguarding Kurt's honor. Let the old timers'…

I'm with you on this one! I don't (/can't) cook—but I *love* Top Chef. I am fascinated that there are people out there with this incredible talent to whip up some random menu item at a moment's notice, in like, the amount of time it takes me to figure out where my measuring spoony-things (technical term) are and that…

It'll be interesting to see how Bieber's "I'm sorry I'm an asshole/maybe even a racist!" press tour goes...his "live" expressions of remorse (ok surely rehearsed, but still—there will have to be extemporaneous moments where he'll need to wing it) probably won't be *nearly* as smooth as the carefully-crafted statement…

Oh she's awful. And completely batty. And absolutely loving every single minute of her notoriety (/infamy). A dangerous combination to be sure.

Bieber's apology REEKS of the verbiage/syntax of a 40 year old publicist-attempting-to-write-from-the-barely-imaginable-vantage-point-of-the-21 year old-mouthbreathing-Axe-bodyspray-advertisement-that-is-"The Biebs."

Um, maybe if more educators taught students about the historic implications of blackface, gnarly incidents like this could be avoided?

If there is enough of a populus of these assholes to be claiming such thing as an "oppression of incels," can we stop trying to make the lone, isolated "rogue psychopath on the loose" theory happen? Doesn't this prove we've found a hive of some sort? Probably one of many—one of others more violent and terrifying in…

MY SHOES! Ugh, I was a total shoe horse...I wore to school all different colors and styles to match my various brightly colored outfits *perfectly* (Latin teacher here, so you get to dress the part—eccentrostylish-bold colors-big earrings-neon pumps for me :)—because, well, Latin?! They assume you're a little "out…

I remember feeling similarly disgusted and saddened (for the families and community—hell, for humanity) when Charlton Heston and the NRA forged ahead with holding their annual "WE LOVE OUR GUNS!" meeting in Denver a little over a week after the shooting at Columbine High School in 1999, despite being asked by the…

Whoa—I read to the bottom of the first paragraph and then had to frantically scroll down for the foot note. Was it just a cruel joke, Lindy?! Was it like a Reader's Digest activity: which of the following logical fallacies does not belong?!

lol—right?! I can practically hear him, "geez, Toni, I think we're square. What you think I am—a sadist?!"

That was exactly my thinking. Murder? Suicide? The high school I taught at took a year off from teaching Romeo and Juliet because two girls had killed themselves—but then the next year we introduced it again (hesitantly). Definitely would be triggering—but violence/murder/suicides litter all of the "traditional" canon…

Dear, sweet, Chris...when he worked with Nicholas and his teacher to surprise Jaqueline with Nicholas' telling her "I love you"...Aw, man. Waterworks for days!

I would throw Joe Gorga in because he's like a big, drunken gorilla. You can always count on him to go streaking on the quad, or draw a penis on Rich Wakile's face when he passes out.

And don't forget Rosie!

But I'll miss Rosie! And Rich had some good zingers...(granted, he also had some, "you shut your mouth when you're talking to me!" moments, but even Ken (Vanderpump) Todd has those...)

Courtney Love. She's besties with Jane, even did a short lived stint as a guest journalist there where they "lent" her an assistant. (My understanding is the assistant had to stay on Court's good side as she OKed everything but XOJane footed the bill bc Courtney's finances are...complicated.) I heard the working…
