Good tip, thanks. Still relatively new here, and couldn't let that complaint go unsaid. Poor grammar is a big pet peeve of mine. Comes from an English professor father, being a writer myself, and spending decades of my life studying the language I adore. :)

"SHE and her friend can go jump in a hobo fire." Sigh. Basic grammar, Anna, please. You're a writer.

Made even more difficult to parse his intentions with those phrases considering he then says "either way" suggesting a binary, but there are three choices: love, in love, do right now. He's an idiot.

Hmm, I am pretty sure I saw them in Murray Hill today wearing Santa costumes....

You missed the child psychologist who talks about the emotional trauma, uncertainty of recovery yet resilience of children. [That's happening on NBC right now; a woman wildly speculating on all the therapy the children will need].

Oooh, goody, a new term: "technical rape." For those keeping track at home, we now have technical, legitimate, forcible, intended, emergency, and God-gifted rape. Perhaps our fair GOP senators and this judge would like to volunteer for a hands-on demonstration of each so we can really parse all the distinctions?…

Oh, man, thanks Anna, now I need to go download He's a Rebel. What a great song that I have not thought of in years...

Okay, was glad to see the masturbation advice for the first advice wanter, although I think the advice for her to masturbate with a partner was premature. She needs to masturbate herself, alone! From my perspective, if you get yourself there first (and many many times so as to know what you like) you have a better…

I remember no half dollars, just ratty quarters, and my objection even at 5-6 was less the amount in toto and more the fact that I had to go to the dentist because of my crazy mother and the fucking tooth fairy was literal about the halves of the tooth. I wanted hazard pay! Garbage Pail Kids didn't come cheap!

Thank you for not giving in to the urge of tearing your child's loose tooth out. My mother did NOT resist the overwhelming impulse in 1981 and in trying to yank my very first tooth out, got only half of it (the hollow bastard split neatly in two!). I had to go to the dentist to have the second half removed. The worst…

Sarah, how old are you? I ask because, like you, I am barely Facebook friendly with my best friend from college; ditto my closest friends from high school. But adulthood brings new people into your life! I have had two radically different best friends as an adult, one from 21-28ish whom I met waiting tables on…

Her career. (ba-dum-bump, tsssh!) I'll be here all week. Please tip your waiters.

This made me LOL. Thank you.

True that. Exceedingly lazy, ain't it?

Fine. Replace "hate" with "ridicule" (since it is too broad to be considered satire). It's still spectacularly lazy, lowest common denominator sort of stuff, and I expect more from Gawker.

I guess. Maybe. But if so, then it's just spectacularly lazy, lowest common denominator sort of stuff, and I expect more from Gawker.

What's up with the utterly cliched French hate? You do realize that - beyond being spectacularly unfunny - such stereotyping just makes you look pedestrian and uncultured, right?

Wow, has the HFP actually WATCHED TV this year? Episodes? Modern Family? (Sorry, after a brilliant first season, MF has gone steadily downhill and now is basically caricature). Smash? The Newsroom? All terrible choices.

I am confused. Why is Swiss cheese on a list of meats? Is this a joke I am not getting?
