Do you think Sia will give me partial credit for the 8 pizzas I dropped off at the local homeless shelter last night? We had a lot of bad orders last night, and I hate to throw away good food, so it wasn’t purely charitable.

I actually feel bad for the vineyard. Apparently it used to be quite respectable and produced some decent vintages, but then it got bought by a rich dilettante (no, not that one, not at first) who DID think they knew about wine and fucked it all up, and then destroyed it further in a petty divored, which is how a…

I always wondered about the penises in Oz, because if those were real and not prosthetics, holy moly, Christopher Meloni. 

“Believe me, I know coverups! I do the best coverups, look at my hair, it’s amazing.”

In the latest Kashoggi news, CIA Director Gina Haspel is en route to Turkey.

I so hope people are camping out to vote for Beto! I know the polls show Cruz in the lead, but I did phone bank calling for Beto’s campaign this weekend, and was very happily surprised at 1) the very high percentage of people I talked to who are Beto supporters and planned to vote and 2) I only talked directly to one…

With my second pregnancy, my OB had moved to an office near the University of MN campus, which is also the home to Minneapolis’ large Somali population.

The Arab spring?

What does basic mean? That she didn’t like the cool manly bands and movies he did?

Five year reader, first time poster! This is my one and only IRL ‘paranormal’ experience, probably because I’m a hard core skeptic.

So this happened to me quite some time ago (almost 20 years, wow I feel old!), but I still remember details to this day.

This has been one of the creepier stories for me, for sure. The cabinet thing gives me chills. It took posting stories in the cary story post years ago for me to realize, YEARS after the fact, that both weird hauntings I’ve experienced happened the same year, at my home in Jamaica Plain, MA and at my job in Cambridge.…

I was late last year and submitted after the cut off. Here we go!

Thanks, friend. And all of you! In a weird coincidence, I saved the family’s (non-pork) bacon almost ten years later to the day. They were flying into LAX right after the Muslim ban and were detained and questioned. I helped to get them out. I like to think we’re even, now.

Here are the pictures I was able to find in my old phone, please excuse the captions- I was live snapping the whole experience 😩

I don’t think this is what Jezebel intended for the contest, as it’s not scary. I briefly told this story in the comments of one of the contest pages a few years ago. Frankly, I don’t think about it much, as although it’s not the supernatural element that got to me at the time, it was a frightening experience and…

This is a true story that is scary on... well, levels, ha. I’ve obscured some details so as not to give away any too identifying information, although the details are part of what makes the story.

If it makes you feel any better, that’s actually not so weird! I recently read a very thorough explanation for why our brains see faces other than our own when we look at a mirror in dim light - basically, your brain wants to see faces - we’ll see them in anything, right? Everyday objects, random patterns, etc. It…

The Argo

I’ve posted in each of the last two years. This will probably be my last; I’m out of stories about the ghost I had in my house growing up.
