I think for a while at least they were Mormon, but I may be misremembering Penn and Teller (and when my brother was a scout).

@ann_athema: To be fair, it's Boy Scouts that is homophobic and Christian (specifically, Mormon, but they only really have a problem with you if you're atheist). The Girl Scouts as an organization doesn't have that problem. You daughter just had the misfortune of getting an asshole troop leader.

@marciax3: Do you have access to Trader Joe's? They have a lot of frozen appetizers that are both yummy AND delicious. Spanikopita, bacon-wrapped scallops, little mushroom things, all just take out of the freezer and bake.

@LucianaMarigny: I was planning on going to the LA one, but they don't even have a permit so we have to stick to the sidewalks? WTF?

Ambition is sacrifice. Financial security, health, "free" time and even romance, all sacrificed in the name of a goal that has to happen, because the only alternative is failure.

How did she get a copy of my cover letter?!?

Our ads highlight the often trivial nature of stuff on Groupon when juxtaposed against bigger world issues, making fun of Groupon. But it's not all trivial, and it doesn't have to play that way. I just bought my first Groupon last week. It's been years since I've had health insurance, and a dentist in my area is

@GunwallsLizzie: That is both awesome and horrifying. Like how my friends played "No Children" at their wedding and had everyone sing along.

So I need to find a man who talks like a character from Buffy the Vampire Slayer?

@lolly71: The school was celebrating its mariachi group advancing to state

I don't understand. I clicked through to the source article, and I still don't understand.

@Hotpants McGee: I wish we could just lay blame on children. Have you seen Pandora bracelets? They're silver charm bracelets, except that the "charms" are actually beads you slide on and they often just look like beads. Like, "My new one is blue glass!"

@RisaPlata: Also, JFK had osteomyelitis.

Everyone knows Queen Victoria was a werewolf.

@kittyclaws: Probably, but that's not what the logline says. And given the crap that's on TV (not all TV, but I'm talking lowest-common-denominator), I am not inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt.

@LucyFlawless: I Hate That I Love You, from 20th Television, was also ordered to pilot by NBC.

This is the time of year when all the networks order a bunch of shows to pilot. This means that the pilot episode will get made, and about 1/3 of those will be ordered to series. So just because it's a pilot doesn't mean you'll see it on TV. That is the background for what I am about to tell you:

@duetoprivacy: Funny story: this change affects a lot of people in the area, and I was discussing with my friends, including a married couple.
