I love, love, love Cmdr. Hadfield. He's probably my favorite astronaut and he's done so much to reignite a curiosity about space in so many young people today. I was so sad when he returned from the ISS because it meant my twitter feed would no longer be graced with his beautiful low earth orbit photos or his almost…

I'm sorry for your loss.

Haha. I follow him on twitter, but I haven't been paying much attention to my feed lately... But Steve Martin definitely seems like one of those celebrities it'd be a hoot to have lunch with.

Hey, going out like former Vice President Nelson Rockefeller... Death by shag... Not so bad, I suppose.

Appropriate user name given that comment, lol.

I used to work at a tv station with a reporter with a Polish last name. The news director thought its three syllables would be too confusing for people, so she made the reporter change it to a single syllable English word. When the reporter eventually got an offer in a bigger market she went back to using her given…

Why didn't they just cut to commercial? I used to be a director... That's exactly what I would've done. It's not that hard to drop a couple of promos into the server, add a line break, and then switch to them once it's done.

Happens in the US, too. In Texas, it is at the officer's discretion whether or not to have your vehicle impounded if you are caught going 24mph or more over posted speed limits.

Seriously? Just get a decent car charger to keep your devices powered up and use either your phone for your internet use, or its hotspot capability for your laptop. I used to do that all the time when I had to transmit photos from the road and was lucky enough to be tag-teaming with a writer so that I didn't have to…

Lol. You and your wife sound like fun.

Forget sticking tacks in your shoes... That's what yaktrax are for. Like these:

Wh...uh.... Ohhhhh. I see what you did there.

Then that's not an assimilation question at all, that's more of a personal credo question. Some people here think we have too many laws, that they're too restrictive of our freedoms. Others think we have too few. It's like marijuana legalization advocates or gun regulation advocates. People on either side of those…

Muchísimas gracias. ;-)

You do realize there are no laws that force assimilation right? And you do realize you can be a law-abiding immigrant, resident, or citizen of the US without speaking English, right? English is not required to do things like drive the speed limit, pay taxes, get a job, raise kids who go on to earn college degrees,…

My ancestors came to this country so long ago I'm actually not sure how many "greats" there are in the great-great-....grandparents line. It's got to be at least six generations before me (long before the 1930s). That said, my entire family still speaks Spanish. We still make traditional Mexican foods. We still cleave…

Aww, sexual assault joke wasn't funny, brah.

That might explain why she thinks you're rapey.

I am a huge fan of cuddling. I'm also a fan of hugging. And I have absolutely no trouble hugging strangers. That said, I can't stand people who violate the boundaries of others who are clearly drawing boundaries around themselves. I'd be glad to run interference for you. :-)

What? Seriously? She can just freakin' google it and see that you're telling the truth!
