This seems like a good place to leave this:

I do love the "shame/blame" retaliationship some develop with their religion. Mmhmm

Exactly. In fact, she romanticizes and embraces it. It's truly disturbing, while also SO illuminating.

I feel so vindicated in my heretofore unjustifiable dislike for all things Deen. And also so nauseated by her.

They meant their jobs jobs jobs. Technically, not a lie...

I read "Spaniard" as "squirrel" and could not for the life of me figure out what that was trying to say about Banderas's acting talent. Clearly, I need more coffee.

Died. Dead. I'm dead. Combining two of my favorite things, Queen and GoT. I am done forever.

Jenny Johnson is completely wrong. No one on Fox News has learned not to lie, how to share, or to embrace the differences of others.

You're welcome!

Sometimes in these cases, the words "consider the source" dance through my head to the tune of "Consider Yourself" from "Oliver!"

Don't be uncomfortable about that! BE the crown.

I'm now incapable of viewing pageants without what I call the "Gracie Lou Freebush" lens. As a result, I do in fact expect contestants to be able to speak on, for instance, harsher punishments for repeat offenders.

So what ended your ambivalence? Also, I feel like your "kinda" is interesting, since many parents or want-to-be parents are all "definitely," if you know what I mean.

I am the anti-social girl who eats at her desk every.damn.day to avoid listening to that. Or, even worse, being socially shamed into participating. Fuck that!

Ugh, the ambivalence. It kills me. People of breeding age - a.k.a. everyone we know - are all "yay babies!" and I'm all "meh."

As someone with bipolar, I've always dealt with invasive thoughts.

I pretty much cannot stand any of the standards, as you mentioned. "Pussy" makes me recoil, you can practically hear my sex drive grinding to a halt when it comes out. Any variation on the cat theme makes me uncomfortable, as an animal lover. I enjoy the word "cunt" but certainly not in the sexy way. "Twat" is equally…

This made me giggle mirthfully.

I agree. Not saying that it's the right thing, just that he has made his choices on what he's focusing on. One would do well to remember Lincoln's old axiom on pleasing people.

said this much more eloquently than I would have been able. I love Gene Wilder, he is a comic genius, and I'm glad he's finally said something. The remake was an insult to us all: Dahl, Wilder, fans of the books, people with eyeballs. All of us.
