My after school daycare had Gearopolis! I completely forgot this thing existed.

She thinks this media spin is bullshit because the Beastie Boys aren't suing anybody and never issued a letter of any kind.

There's been a lot of very shoddy reporting on the matter, mostly to get people all riled up. It's even come out from Kathleen Hanna that the Beastie Boys never issued a take down notice. It could be either 1: only the music company is making statements (entirely possible, they do it all the time) or 2: Goldie Blox…

It's interesting to note things have changed in terms of aggressively marketing/segregating the gender of toys. Lego used to make it a point to use boys and girls in their advertising and never have them doing stereotypical gender play, just building stuff. Now Lego is all concerned about making a Girl Lego in Girl…

I don't see either Erector Sets or K'nex, both building toys I had a ton of when I was a kid. Although looking at the site, it appears all the Erector sets are for building cars now, whereas I used them to build a Ferris Wheel and housing for my ponies.

I'm not sure how this makes them assholes, considering that they're not suing. Goldieblox filed a pre-preemptive suit to declare it not copyright infringement before the Beastie Boys did anything other than say, "we think this is copyright infringement." BB has always said they don't want their music used in any…

Tiny apartments don't necessarily make people want tiny little pets. I've lived in a lot of buildings with people in the efficiencies and 1 bedrooms with larger dogs. I used to live above a couple with two lab mutts in a studio apartment. They were shockingly well behaved too, you wouldn't know they had dogs except…

Breaking news: lawyer advertisement billboards are tacky. Next up, are lawyers with TV commercials just doing it for the money? Which typical household objects that can kill you in your home can you sue for? And now, the weather.

Jeffrey Campbells are the shit, I'd own more if I had the money for them. I've never had an uncomfortable Campbell of any height.

He was bald, but he was wearing a Slipknot shirt and a backwards baseball hat. It's possible he was hiding a little tuft of a frosted hair under there.

That is literally most of my outfit right now. Shorts with brightly colored tights, combat boots, zip up hoodie and tacky jewelry. AND A KNIT HAT. FTW.

"Sorry bro, if your hair isn't naturally blond, stop frosting those tips."

Were we not supposed to wear shorts with tights? I guess I've been doing it wrong all fall. Oh well, TOO LATE TO TURN BACK NOW, I'll just drag my Docs out of the closet to complete the look.

"I saw these words on the cover of Vogue once while waiting in the dentist office, maybe if I use them women will only wear miniskirts."

I had a total strangerbro behind me in line at the grocery store comment on my nails. "I don't understand how you women can wear those things, they get in the way of everything. If you can't grow them that long then don't glue fake ones on."

See, even from the beginning those gays were a problem! No respect for a deadline.

Whoa, clearly you're not reading the one true King James Bible because everyone knows it's not sluttiness that causes blindness, it's the constantly monthly abortions you get when you're on the pill. Sluttiness causes all the cancers. EVERYONE knows that, heathen.

That holds well with my experiences. My friends and I tried to get the same classes when we could, and there were plenty of classes were I was friendly with the students who sat around me but we were never "friends." The people who took the same science classes may have been good lab partners, but they weren't…

Public school education, and I can only speak briefly about my experience because the classes so traumatized me that my mother refused to let me take any others. This was the "information" imparted to 11-12 year old girls:
