This is why Joe Biden is my fantasy internet boyfriend. He gets so much shit for gaffes when 99% of the time, he's the smartest and most compelling guy in the room. Of course he would say this. Of course. I love him so much.

"promptly referred"

YES! He made a gorgeous Emcee in Cabaret (his Broadway debut, I think).

And me

Me, too.

I'm ready...

Happened to a cousin:

This isn't insane, but still one of my fondest travel memories.

My sister and I did something very similar in Hawaii back in 2002, when she was 13 and I was 18. There was no language barrier, though.

When I first arrived at my university, I was on a floor with a bunch of uppity music students (my uni had the nationally-ranked no 1 school at the time). There was this girl I ended up LOATHING because she was a pretentious PITA and her first words to me after saying "Oh, you're from X town in the Chicago Metro area,…

This is actually Mr. BallofStess' insane travel story, but its so good I have to share! When he was 16, his family went to Greece for a summer vacation.

I hope the lass has a nickname because saying the name "Camilla" in bed is going to bring up all sorts of erection-deflating imagery.

No one is advocating removing all violence directed towards women from all games. That's pretty much a strawman position that people who don't want anything to change use to rail against.

Did you get a free temporary number tattoo with purchase?

I have to admit, I sort of admire the kid who was nae-naeing in the corner instead of sitting down. I'm sure I would not if I were working with him, but on its surface, it's pretty funny.

*rap genius ?

When I was in college, I covered for a law firm's receptionist when she was out. The firm shared a reception area with the county mental health commissioner, which means that he decided whether people should be forcibly committed to a psychiatric hospital or rehab when a petition was filed. Like with Britney Spears…

This story comes, as do most of my better ones, from my time working at Space Camp. I was working an adult weeklong camp during the off season and it came to the time of week when the campers participated in their extended mission which was eight hours long. I was working the SpaceHab area which is the self contained…
