I know that clothes sizes vary incredibly between manufacturers and that more expensive clothes are more likely to have vanity sizing. Also, people have different preferences for how they want their clothes to fit. I prefer looser clothes and some prefer their clothes to be a little snug. Still, I admit I did a double…

I once read a proposed rule that, barring allergies, adults are allowed to have three foods they refuse to eat. I liked that. Sure, three is an arbitrary number, but I agree with you there’s something so off-putting about adults who have a lengthy list of foods they refuse to eat. My three are mayonnaise, mustard, and…

Thanks, got it now. If it’s any consolation, while the mayor isn’t facing criminal charges or a recall or anything like that, I can assure you no one is calling her awesome and amazing. She’s taken a lot of heat in the court of public opinion in Baltimore. Her political future was once relatively bright, and that’s…

Many, many years ago, before Buffalo wings were popular (and back when wings were super cheap), a neighbor of mine (originally from Texas, so it could have been a Texas thing) saw me buying chicken wings in the grocery store and asked me what I was going to do with them (that is, were they going to be an ingredient in…

She (Marilyn Mosby) isn’t the mayor, so I’m not clear what it matters what we’d say if she were the mayor. She’s the State’s Attorney, an office she’s held for only about four months. I can’t imagine why anyone would or should hold her responsible for what Baltimore has become.

I'm embarrassed to know this, but Kelly Ripa actually as a very prominent belly button. It's the most "outie" belly button I've ever seen. I think (again, embarrassed to know this) it's Patricia Heaton who no longer has a belly button, thanks to tummy tuck surgery.

Yes, that is correct.

JosephFinn, I too thought Amber Rose was African-American. I don't know why I thought that, but I did. For whatever reason, I felt a little less embarrassed when I saw I'm not the only one.

I have no idea why Jezebel reported on this. Only someone who works for Jezebel can address that. I do know that Jezebel isn't the only news outlet that reported on this. I read about it in several places, including the Times of Jerusalem.

I can't speak for Petalumabrooms, but I assumed the "culture" referred to was the Haredi culture, not Israeli culture. I, too, can't imagine growing up female in that particular environment, whether in Israel or New York or Baltimore or anywhere else.

As a mayo hater myself, I'd consider aioli nothing more than mayo with garlic. I'd guess colorisnteverything sees it that way, too.

You keep saying "suicide without a note." The police specifically refused to comment on whether there was a note, so where are you getting this?

The ad, though, is for Giant-Landover, not the larger Giant chain. Giant-Landover really isn't a very large chain. Stores in DC, Delaware, MD, and northern Virginia. That doesn't mean this isn't an ad used by a lot of chains, but I neurotically felt the need to clarify which Giant it is, only because so many people…

Actually, as far as Rashida Jones, the first time I became aware of her was when she was on a TV show called "Boston Public." I clearly remember thinking Rashida was an unusual name for a white woman. So, not everyone "can definitely tell she's not white." This isn't to open a can of worms about what constitutes…

Ah, to be as young as Kate Dries. As we elderly types know, 65-year-old Ted Danson wouldn't be a new member of AARP. AARP starts sending you mail shortly before you turn 50. Sigh.
