An actual Tolkien purist would have refused to appear in any of the LOTR movies since they were anything but pure Tolkien. They were a ton of fun, but Peter Jackson never hesitated to chuck anything he thought got in his storytelling way.

You're not invited to her house unless your Thetan levels are acceptable.

I had sex last weekend with a woman I had known for about 3.5 hours and she was wearing a red dress. Not really panicked about a pregnancy, though, since I used protection. Turns out it doesn't matter whether a woman wants to get pregnant or not. Protection = Control, dudes. Remember that.

This seems like a win-win for everyone.

You're welcome to ignore her. Personally, I like the view a lot.

A 14-year-old isn't a preteen.

Goddamn, that Kate Upton is a fine-lookin' woman!

Nah, you didn't read that. Do you even know what words are?

In Kuwait they call tahini harda. Easier to pronounce.

>>When men are dealing with catcalls, unequal pay, and all the rest of it as often and to the same degree as women are, I'll find the energy to give a shit. Right now there are just too many other battles to fight.<<

Yeah, I get that, but idiots putting their crimes online isn't even a true novelty anymore. The facts of this case are significantly different and the video footage — assuming the descriptions we have are accurate — is significantly different. Everything is far more damning.

Well, a number of US states allow jury sentencing in cases that don't involve capital murder, such as this one. Not sure Illinois is one of those states, though. Probably is not.

Cold is great! A cool, icy blonde like January Jones is catnip to a WASPy fella like me.

I think you're being pretty naive about Jezzies.
