I think I've posted about this before, but there is a woman on my floor at work who regularly takes conference calls while she's dropping a deuce in the ladies'. I know they are conference calls because she has the call on speakerphone. She also remarks upon how relaxed she is with the other callers because she's…

Well, men tend not to do that simply from the same guy rule of "Don't talk to me while I'm peeing, bro." Which is an extension of: "Don't talk to me when my dick's in my hand, bro." It's the same ruleset that dictates men use the urinal the furthest distance away from anyone else in the restroom, or at least one…

It's the mystery mixed with the comedy that really does it.

The "mymerdy," as I think we should call it.

You'll have to specify which solitary condiment they're being subjected to. If it's mustard, that's too bad. I would expect mayonnaise or nothing.

"and subjecting them to solitary condiment"

You could never be a narwhal. NEVER!

This is a weird game. I say something, and then you tell me something that I could never be (married, a politician) based on my comment. How does scoring work in this game? You were wrong about the married thing, but probably right about being a politician. So is it a tie?

Who are you to bring 'facts' into this?! A DEMOCRAT?!?

But it's the style section. At least they're trying to profile powerful women in politics instead of just another socialite. It would be different if this were in the politics section, but there's only so far a style editor can go without mentioning the clothes.

Footballers wives ≠ Upper classes

NO! That is not normal. That is fucked up. If you haven't, go read The Gift of Fear right now. If this keeps happening to you, it's likely you're not paying attention to the signals abusive, predatory people give off.

If only I cared...

That second pic of Jenny McCarthey is the definition of crazy eyes.

There are so many typos in this I skipped to comment only to see something about a "precedence-setting Supreme Court decision." First, it's "precedent." Second, it's the Supreme Court. It is their job to set precedent.

So if Jessica Simpson is a 3rd rate Britney, 2nd rate Christina does that make Christina a 2nd rate Britney? Because I'd have to respectfully disagree.

Don't worry.

She'll give you ample reason to dislike her completely again soon.
