I grew up in a church that was deep into "Spiritual Warfare" stuff. (And from what I can gather from hate-reading their Facebook walls, they are still deep into it.) My best friend wasn't allowed to own a Cabbage Patch doll because there was a rumor that the creator was a Satanist who cursed each doll.

I realize there's a simple, smart explanation to this, which is why I'm putting my dumb question out there: when I read the headline, I immediately went to the fact that GMO corn has been bred with things like camel DNA to help them retain water. So if someone asked me that survey question, I would probably say yes

I think Sia is actually a huge Dance Moms fan and picked Maddie because she's her favorite? I don't remember where I read that, though.

Real talk: I'm going to play this at my birthday party. My 34th birthday party.

I am fucking crying over this. Thank you.

"The Princess Bride" was based on a book, and the book didn't have the Grandpa or the kid at all. It was narrated by a guy who had discovered a long-lost book? It's hard to explain, but it's 10 times funnier than the movie.

I also have two - and I'm adopted! Is he my long-lost twin? Here's what I know about uvulas: it is a form of cleft palate, and while less than 1% of caucasians have a bifid uvula, it's a common (or at least, more frequent) trait among Cherokee Indians (says the internet). I once met a girl who had a long, stretchy

Hell yeah! I had a short dress last year. Got it from crazy-expensive BHLDN for under $300 bucks. I decided to get one years ago, after the third time I had to help hold a bride's dress up while she peed.

There is a huge, organized, peaceful protest happening in South St. Louis City. The rioters (not protesters!) are all in Ferguson. The National Guard is literally sitting in a Target parking lot in the county.

I grew up in a church with people like this, and the Satanic Panic theories were always amazing. My favorite: the inventor of Cabbage Patch kids was a Satanist and cursed all the dolls before they went out for adoption. My best friend couldn't have one because of that rumor.

"Beholden." I had no idea how to pronounce it until the girl greeted me at the store.

Same here! Plus, it was a reception dress: short, simple, cheap, and all my friends thought I was edgy for wearing a short dress. (I would recommend trying on dresses at BHLDN if possible - I wore an 8 at the time but had to buy a 14 there. They only had one 14 left!)

Can you just plot out my entire Fall 2015 TV schedule? This all sounds perfect. Thank you in advance!

My friend Liz. Lost a costume contest to goddamn Urkel.

THIS is Twisty. All handmade:

She looks like Charisma Carpenter!

Same here. Pretty sure they shot part of this on my block. This song is fantastic.

This is great. Thank you for linking.

Very into the gray-shirt guy at 3:00. And the whale hat at 3:18.

Everyone I know has unfriended/unfollowed/blocked about 50 people thanks to Facebook Ferguson debates. And it's not all because of racist stuff; arguments about it have sort of branched off into completely unrelated beefs and grudges, which has been interesting to watch. It's a real Toxic Friends Colonic.
