I think everyone should chip in to send one of the Jezebel ladies on the Paula Deen cruise. I would really enjoy the dispatches.

Can we all just take a step back for a second and resist the urge to shame a scientist for doing research on a basic biological function? I know talking about our pee-pee parts gets us all giggly, but female sexuality is a woefully under-researched field, and being childish and immature when somebody actually DOES…

Everything at the link are short pants at best. When I was younger, circa 1986, we cut our jeans so that we had about 2" of inseam left. They also doubled as swim trunks, camping wear, and running shorts. Also commando.

Right? I want someone with a protruding belly, which is my main problem.

The plus-size models we celebrate always have more-or-less flat tummies, don't they? It's never a woman with a muffin-top.

Victor/Victoria and The Lion King for the staging/puppetry.

So my husband and son survived their first backpacking adventure! No bear, wolverine, or squirrel attacks. It was a success!

Just want to share-after years of suffering terrible sociophobia (and being medicated for it!) I've just completed six months med free and I went out and did something social with neighbors (on a boat, a small space, eek!) AND I HAD FUN! There is hope!

Jezzies, I would like to introduce you to my new furbaby. Her name is Miuccia and she is ten weeks old. She doesn't have her blue eyes any more but she hates getting her photo taken so the only decent picture I have of her is her listing photo. Isn't she cute?

Positive thoughts please!

Fun Science Fact: because of their distinct head shape, hammerheads are the only member of Selachii who can sense menstruation through the screen; so to avoid becoming prey whilst watching Shark Week, sit at least 150 yards away from the tv, spray about the area of your lap eucalyptus-scented air-freshener (Navy tests…

Last relationship 33 - current age - 54. Never been happier.

Seconding IamMarsupial's comment. I'm in a very casual FWB relationship right now but am okay with not being in a"real" relationship - whatever real may be. I like my own company and figure everything will happen when it happens. Don't stress out over it.

Thanks for the advice. Yeah, I'm comfortable being by myself as well, probably too comfortable. Sometimes (ok, a lot of the time) I'll spend the entire weekend at home alone. I probably need to get out more if I wanna actually, you know, have a relationship.

I am so proud of my friend's little sister. At a local skating rink, her now ex-boyfriend trapped her physically to keep her away from her friends. SHE BIT HIM. :D She wanted to get back to her friends, no one was around to hear her say anything, and he had her pinned. So she bit him.

I've been single for several years too, and I'm not stressing it. I'm also one of those nut jobs who is perfectly comfortable and usually prefers being by myself, so that may be a big part of it.

Great White Invasion... in South Africa.

YOU GUYZZZZ!!!!!! I literally just submitted my M.A. thesis to the board of examiners. It's all over - a year of prep, 3 months of field research, 2 months of writing, and half a week of editing, crying, and drinking various liquors out of bottles.

It's like an "Everything" bagel. It doesn't have everything on it. Where's the gallium? Where's the turmeric? Where is Paul Klee's painting "Twittering Machine"? You can't explain that!
