We used to pair these with those giant 2 foot pixie stix as kids, right before terrorizing the neighborhood and burning it to the ground (or so I assume - I think I blacked out from the sugar high).

I am outraged they never hired dogs post Michael Vick.

That little girl is totally going to find pod-person movies way scarier than the average person when she's older. Traumatizing childhood experiences you can barely remember impacting adult anxieties FTW.

We went to Disney World last year. It was the Swiss Family Robinson tree house for us. Guess they changed it back?

Perhaps you missed the part where I said this happens to men, too, often right here on other Gawker Media owned blogs.

Well you replied to my post comparing the actions of two Gawker Media owned blogs, so I assumed you were saying Patton Oswald's standards applied to both, here.

Except the athletes who had their pictures posted on Deadspin - and Hulk Hogan who had his sex tape posted on Gawker - all thought they'd taken the proper precautions, too. So Gawker Media has violated the very standards you're upholding here. You can't trust anyone to do the right thing. It's creepy. And one very…

Check out the "Athlete Dong" tag on Deadspin. Super classy. Especially from the parent company that's preaching supreme outrage about sharing photos of naked people without consent.

I'd say you have a right to them, and that anyone who stole them should be prosecuted appropriately. I think it's also okay to acknowledge that there's a certain amount of risk that comes with having those pictures, especially if you share them, and that risk varies depending on how you store those pictures.

I am officially an old, because I think "Don't take naked pictures of yourself" happens to be pretty good advice for everyone, male or female. I can't imagine all those sports players who had their dicks posted on Deadspin really liked that experience either.

Jehovah's Witnesses are officially okay with vaccination according to church doctrine. Christian Scientists and other faith healing groups are not.

I'm an accent chameleon. Put me in another region for a few months, and I will start to sound like I'm from there. I do it subconsciously, and start to mimic the language patterns I hear every day. My Northeastern relatives tell me I've totally lost my Northeastern accent, and it makes me kind of sad.

Good to know. I thought the higher risks of miscarriage, stillbirth, and being severely underweight came from maternal age, not the egg age. See, this would all have been interesting stuff to read in the article!

It is interesting to hear her choices. I am wondering about some of the higher risks involved with pregnancies that late. I would be a lot more interested in hearing how she weighed those risks against the benefits, and coming to the decision that way. Like, does she have a backup plan for children born with…

I always think that people who want 1500 word articles written about them in the newspaper don't care about what other people think.

Star magazine is crushed, crushed that it's not going to be twins.

Jessa, who's too "cool" to ever do something as mundane as watch a current critically acclaimed television show.

I, too, have put more thought than is really necessary or wise into which Girl I am. I am totally Marnie. The former straight-laced judgmental go-getter that now just kind of wanders around aimlessly, and everyone finds her pretty annoying and wonders what the hell she's doing with her life.

I find it difficult to believe that there isn't some way to shame the NFL into taking violence against women seriously without declaring every NFL fan to be a women-hating misogynist. I say this as someone who doesn't really give two shits about football, but understands why a lifelong fan might pause before creating…

True story: the German army post exchange store on Kandahar Airfield used to sell fuzzy handcuffs. Troops serving in Afghanistan have an urgent need for such things, apparently.
