Seems like Foxtrot Alpha slipped over to Flightclub. Seriously, soldiers do their job and get payed for it. It's a noble profession, but so is being a flight attendant.

Maybe Jon Rubin would be happier if they made it more authentic...by setting up a blockade that prevents supplies from even entering the restaurant.

I would put my hand on his shoulder and say "You don't understand what you just said and neither do I."

This is a horrible event and my thoughts are with the victims and their families. I'm hoping for swift justice and wide-reaching dialogue.

Is it - what is it - that I feel safer in a body I dislike for being overweight than I would if I were at my ideal weight - like if I looked the way I wanted to, I'd be in more…

I was just thinking, wouldn't it be great if there was a website that collected links from around the world of news stories where women have been killed for rejecting the advances of some douche-bro? So I googled, "women killed after rejection" and got 7,490,000 hits.

Self-defence.

I was working at a high school football game with my students and this guy politely asked for my number. I explained I was married. His friends got drunk and kept harassing me IN FRONT OF MY 14-15 year old students. Security stepped in and kicked them out, but they waited for me to leave inside of their car. I was so…

PREACH. It's analogous to an in vino veritas situation; the craziness will manifest in some specific way dependent on a given time and place (no one thinks they're Napoleon anymore, for example). The enraged sense of entitlement to women's time, attention and bodies exists outside this mentally ill person and is a…

This is one of those times when I think that putting criminals in the stocks, like in ye olden days, to be jeered at by crowds is a damn fine idea. Because I certainly want to throw shit (literal and figurative) at his head and rage at him for a few hours.

Inspired by Boondocks cover, I like to explain "I have a right be hostile"

Sometimes I think we should just kill all humans and let nature take over the planet again. Maybe some day evolution will create more humans and they'll do a better job than we did. I'm also heavily medicated and am not sure that what I just said makes any sense whatsoever.

Oddly, I believe Theresa is, in fact, that stupid. Joe knows what he's doing but it is actually possible she is simply this stupid.

And people say a liberal arts degree is wasted...

That's Lisa Kudrow and Mira Sorvino in Romy and Michelle's High School Reunion, a movie I assumed was going to be stupid but which turned out to be a very sweet and hilarious movie about womens' friendship. I'd post the video of their climactic dance scene with Alan Cumming, but it really should be seen in context…

That's my favourite outfit from the whole movie. I'd be stoked to have that as a school uniform :)

What I find hilarious is most public school uniforms/strict dress codes are identical to what employees at big box stores wear. Matching polo shirts and khaki bottoms communicates a stronger "I work at walmart" vibe than "I run my own fortune 500 company" or "I'm a successful cardiothorasic surgeon" vibe.

Well put. Nine years, three months, one day and a day at a time here. I didn't have a family in the years I drank. Lived in an apartment, had a halfass job, played poker and drank until I fell asleep in my car in the parking lot. Dated, but only as an excuse to drink and fuck up those dates so I could opine about how…

7 years here. Part of what I miss is all the games. Hidden bottles, trips to the basement to "check on the furnace" I was also great at doing laundry. I did laundry in the basement more than any man. Folded it down there too. I was a rotten SOB. At least once I am sure my wife smelled it in me but I always countered…

The more details surface regarding Bironas's death, the weirder this story gets.

Forever too soon.
