I had a professor whose sons are Thor and John. My son, the God of Thunder, and my younger son, the most common name in the English speaking world.

I find it so hysterically funny when people have one child with a normal name and another one with a really odd name. I will never forget a pair of sisters I used to know, who were named Mary and Lettuce.

Seven!

That’s why I was specific in who should’ve been prioritized. I’d also like to add people with disabilities to my list.

Sheesh, all of the sudden people are getting real cranky.

Everyone makes typos. “All of the sudden” is a mistake, I believe, not a typo.

This most makes me think of my own posts, and by that I mean I suddenly think of my own posts as utter tripe.

I don’t know what to think. On the one hand you have the Dalai Lama. On the other a man whose own father is calling him a liar.

“Thelasthalfdonut is by far the most consistently slightly amusing commenter on Jezebel. Someone should ungrey them, for the good of the Union.” - Abraham Lincoln

One of my favorite passages from Daniel Nexon’s absolutely classic must-read scholarly review of Gorka’s PhD “dissertation” (Nexon is a prof at Georgetown and has a real doctoral degree):

It means, as far as viscosity goes, safety > blood > water.

really? It’s that hard for you to understand poetic license and move from one phrase to the next? If it is true that blood is thicker than water (which is an idiom for crying out loud), then saying blood is *not* thicker than [insert item] is clearly referencing the idiom and playing with it. Don’t be thick (*ahem*…

Fun Fact: “Blood is thicker than water” is often mis-quoted. It used to refer to the bond between soldiers shedding enemy blood is stronger than family ties.

Hint: thicker = importance.

The expression “blood is thicker than water” originally meant that the bond between comrades is stronger than family, as in bathing in the blood of your enemies is a pretty powerful bonding experience, and it has been bastardized into meaning the exact opposite.

But that’s how employment works. There’s no guarantee that your employee will stick around forever, and I would guess that in the entertainment/dance world, you come to expect that people leave productions for other jobs.
