@Firesphere: When we painted our house, Missus Whiplash found that a ponytail or bun, combined with a bouffant cap she lifted from the hospital she works at, worked wonders for keeping paint out of the hair.

@syenta001: Excellent primer (sorry about the pun). The only think I could add is: another reason to buy good brushes is that they seem to distribute paint better along the wall.

@winner fujita: I have nothing to add, other than "Sensory Laxative" sounds like some long-lost Frank Zappa album.

Such a luminous beauty, and an amazing talent. I had no idea about her hub - that's a damned shame.

@snidelywhiplash: Gah. Price=prick. Need edit button.

I sincerely hope I'm not sounding like an insensitive price, but as a guy, I have to ask...what is the deal with women and their bowel issues?

See, it's shit like this that makes me ultra-glad that Missus Whiplash works for a reproductive endocrinologist (fertility doc), and not only gets free BC, but free annual exams, yeast infection treatment and all other manner of stuff (like the free swine flu shots she brought home last fall). The doc for her part…

Yeah. Uh...Asperger's aside, this phenomenon is the stupidest fucking thing I've ever seen.

@Wit is periodically disensouled:

We have peregrines living on a taller building downtown here as well, complete with webcam. And it gets better; I see redtailed hawks every single day. Turkeys quite often as well, and the occasional pelican, bald eagle and osprey.

Someone downthread posted asking what kind of wood the guy was splitting. In the comments on Youtube the answer to the same question was Douglas Fir. Soft, straight-grained. Plus it's pretty decent firewood, as it turns out. #heathacks

@winner: The leadership of the Komen Foundation is in tight with Big Healthcare, Big Pharma, and the Republican Party. AND Big Oil, particularly Occidental Petroleum, who brought you such hits as Love Canal.

Iiiii'm the owwwwl in the box!

With any luck, during those convulsions Randall Terry was talking about, the crazy-ass anti-abortion faction will swallow its tongue and suffocate, putting us out of their misery.

Wow. This makes it two things Perez has done that I'll give props for. (The other one was getting Eric Hutchinson some attention.)

@Cimorene:Call me when you go for pints - I'll treat first round. I love her attitude. I bawled, partly because Les Miz always does that to me, but partly from the sheer loveliness of her personality and voice.

@Cimorene: That seems pretty clearly to me to be blaming new mothers. Expectations (from mothers) lead to depression.

As a man, I would like to say that she looks just...mmm. Would nom. Always had a thing for the Williams sisters.

THIS JUST IN: Television shows can be sensationalistic and shallow. Film at 11.

You know, every time I see that smile, I just wanna hug her. Maybe plant a big ol' smooch on her cheek.
