My wife took my surname for that exact reason. If the situation were reversed, I would have gladly done the same. I think the most important thing is that a couple make the name choice that fits best for them, regardless of what millennia of sexist bullshit might say on the matter.

There are two varietals of this. You often see it with lox or some other form of smoked salmon, and it is delicious. You see it fairly often in the Seattle area.

Fine, but this is the LAST Airbender.

And yet, you somehow missed the best Jack Frost: The Russo-Finnish co-production lampooned in a memorable MST3K episode!

Gotta’ love how they can say the punishment was for corruption, when really it was for narcing on all the other scum-bags.

Forget it, Frosted Nuts. This is CONCACAFtown.

I wouldn’t be surprised if there is more than a little anger that doesn’t appear online.

“It was a cold, gray November morning in New York City, New York. I was a young, fresh-faced go-getter making my way in the Big Apple for the first time. As I walked down 99th street, the smell of fresh corned beef wafted out of the local deli and slapped me in the nostrils with a flavor that said ‘I am corned. I am…

The tricky thing with instances like Hope Solo is that positions with nuance are often misread. If I read this position right, it boils down to the following points:

This story describes it better than I can.

Wait, if the only gameplan was to “play it long and look for the head of Wambach,” then they couldn’t have very well used the “rely on the individual brilliance of Megan Rapinoe” strategy, now could they? Apparently, they don’t teach children to recognize logical contradictions in Australia, either.

Blackfish is awesome, but I am not sure is truly Pirlo-esque. Tyrion, on the other hand, has really stepped up his beard-game, and is definitely in the Pirlo-vein.

The beauty of the patch/eyepatch question is that the answer isn’t truly an either/or. You can have your casual glass eye for when you’re out and about taking care of day-to-day things and want to be inconspicuous, and then you can always just put on an eyepatch for when you want to look like Nick Fury. Best of both…

There is no more sure-fire way to make a person grumpy than to tell them that they look grumpy, and need to stop being grumpy.

Yeah, price discontent is always a tricky thing, and usually has a lot to do with the person grumbling not understanding the economics involved.

I know some people that run a sort of nerd social club in Seattle. It's a pretty sweet space, and tends to be a bit better for running a recurring RPG than just the local game shop or gaming pub, which are really better suited for tournament-style games.

The Denim Kit is a national treasure.

Yeah, 300 fits there for me as well. I also thought that it went a bit too far in glorifying the Spartans, who were pretty much just a fascist military dictatorship with a side-order of pederasty.

One of my groomsmen makes custom action figures as a hobby. The cake topper he made for us involved modifying a set of Thor and Sif action figures. It remains one of my favorite things ever.
