@Morning Gloria: bless you, my child.

@leytpr4: aw *blush* shucks.

@girl_ninja: the "my heart is beating out my untrimmed chest" did it for me. Hate that song. That and I play ukulele and Train just about ruined that for me.

@SlayBelle: she likes her candy, but she also rocked Puck's world. Fat bottomed girls, they make this rockin' world go 'round.

@lilyHaze: thank you. I loved that, but I think most folks missed it.

Santana solo killed. Brit slapping her ass before said solo, scissor-y. Brit and Mike Chang dancing, flipalicious. Magic comb. 7 minutes in big girl heaven rocked Puck's world. Rachel's small heart growing 3 sizes that day—oh, sorry, I channel surfed over to the Grinch for a minute. Finn grows a pair, balltastic.…

When my nephew was 6, he came to my son's 4th birthday. It was at a kid's playground place and there was a costume trunk. Most of the boys were dressing as knights and super heroes, but my nephew found a floor-length gown with spider web sleeves. He posed and vogued and I took his picture and he got nervous. "Auntie,"…

@ms.talulah: I raised my son to call adults "Sir" or "M'am" but in middle school he got a load of grief from teachers who thought he was being sarcastic. It was confusing to him, and really turned his attitude about trying to be respectful.

@KillMeNow is making an omelet with fried eggs: working class? I never got the impression that they're working class. Ed O'Neill's character paid for the whole fam damily to go on that Hawaiian vacation, ferchrissakes!

@bookling: My son's girlfriend went to Chinese camp this summer. For real. They had language classes and cultural programs, etc. So, there is such a thing. But I agree, the flashback was Artie's sordid fantasy version.

@HRH Your Cuntness aka likepenguins: Last year when my son was caught in his girlfriend's house unsupervised (they're both 13 at the time) I made him copy Romeo and Juliet by hand. Ten pages a day, but only for a week. I thought that was enough. Your folks are HARD CORE!

@bubbly*pop: well. aren't YOU a ray of sunshine this morning! (I kid, I'm a kidder)

@SinTaxAir: I don't think she threw the ashtray because she was rejected. I think she threw it because he added insult to injury by telling her to write up her own recommendation letter and telling her he'd sign it. It's one thing to fuck a girl and then treat her like she's invisible, but Allison was a good secretary…

@octothorp: Looks like he picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue.

@likeskeletons: I'm adopted. I used to be a big believer of nuture over nature. Then both my brother (also adopted, from a different background) and I met our biological families and I realized how much of our personalities were hard-wired by people who had no influence on our childhood. Now I'm a big believer of…

Just FYI, my 14 yo son was yelling at the computer when the rude lady called "Karen" ugly. Don't lose hope, they're not all Shallow Hals out here.

1. she mos def took her Adderall that morning.

@SusanDeath: you barely see Brit in the Single Ladies episode because she was brought in specifically to teach the boys the choreography for the Single Ladies number (because of her Beyonce experience) and she clicked so well with the cast and crew they made her a reoccurring character.

@ning!: I second this advice. It's also super effective for keeping your blond hair from turning green in the pool.

@Hiroine Protagonist: Sue's repeatedly fallen for any guy who gives her the eye. It's her achilles heel. So, I'd say it was totally in character for her to fall for Shue's bubble-ass trick.
