Haha. I also am a pinko hippie liberal activist college professor, and my 12 year old daughter is already arguing abortion policy with her very catholic paternal grandmother. She makes me so proud *sniff sniff* as I'm sure your pinko hippie liberal activist college professor mother is of you.

Holy crap. Ever read A Wrinkle in Time?

I'm guessing most of these folks go to Liberty University anyway, aka Circular Reasoning Prep.

Right? So if it’s bad that they do it in academic settings is it bad that they do it in military settings? Or is that different for.... reasons?

Oh, I get it, and he has a really good point, but I think it’s an apples/oranges thing. If it is standard practice for most venue/stage shows to provide a contract with this language, then what she’s asking for is not out of the ordinary and might be considered standard convention for the medium. However we all know…

You are spot on. Example: Bobby Jindal, governor of my home state/disaster area. Every office he’s been appointed or elected to has been exclusively in service to his step up whatever ladder he sees inside his own pointy little head. Exhibit: Louisiana’s $1.6 BILLION budget deficit this year because special snowflake…

From what I've read here (in other words, I'm no expert), it appears that the contract doesn't say they can't sell individual photos to publications, but that they can't sell the same photo to every publication on the planet over and over again. They also reiterated that the artist can sell the photo again with…

Complete sidetrack: I read that as HAMSTERFIED, and spent at least a minute playing with the idea of how something could be hamsterfied and why that would be bad.

My Victoria’s Secret faves were the people who had to come in and do a show-and-tell with their underwear.

What do you want to bet she really meant pastrami?

Haha. As a multi-year survivor of Victoria's Secret, I cannot tell you how hilarious that discussion is when you're having it for the 20th time on February 13th.

Honestly, I don't think I ever saw her again after that school year. I left for a different university and she wasn't at the one and only high school reunion I attended. I hope she did too.

Wow, dude. Context is everything.

Shit. My high school bestie took one look at our black suite-mate our first day at U of F, and hung that rag up over her bed and accused the poor girl of stealing her “designer” clothes. I have never been so ashamed in my whole life. Unsurprisingly we were switched to another room right fast, but I was stuck with the…

Vladimir Gotlibovsky? I think Mark needs to give us a Russian interpretation of this event.

The “Seasons” print is really pretty, but shit, you can buy actual artwork made by a real artist for that kind of money, instead of hipster reproductions! Blergh.

Yup. I'm getting a real financial wiz vibe, which fits right in with Wall Street career.

I have no problem with a therapist suggesting things like a makeover or new shoes or whatever. Sometimes all you need is a pick-me-up. Of course, not everyone’s pick-me-up is about visuals, so problem one. Problem two is this guy seems to have hung his hat on the “frumpy” issue as being the biggie rather than moving…

Gotta say, "With her Ivy League degrees and downtown loft and Wall Street career..." doesn't sound like somebody who could be walking around with food on her face and soup stains on her shirt. While "dowdy" is fine in a Wall Street (financial? law?) firm, gross is a no-no.

But fortunately for Australia they have higher court judges who actually know the difference between science and random internet gibberish. It's not clear that there's a majority of people who understand that at any level or branch of the US government. All checks, no balance.
