Right? Midge saved the night and said lovely things about Joel. This is the first recap I read and I feel like I was watching a different show.

My dad was a big, white, straight irishman with a love of fashion and was teased mercilessly about it. He also had ‘his guy’ everywhere- shoeshine guy, tailor, barber. That’s how they talked in the 60s. The ribbing didn’t bother him but that’s probably bc he was straight.

THIS.

This. My co-worker likes to date women who wear tight mini dresses without underwear and I refuse to get in his car after he’s been on a date until it has been detailed. Co-worker doesn't understand why.

Old Poor and middle class blue collar white guys eat this shit up. This is how he gets Irish American laborers who fled the Democrats for the Republicans when women and people of color started agitating for equal treatment. He was halfway there with 'malarkey' and got the rest of the way there offering to fight…

I actually think he was pissed that 1. A server viewed him, A Man, as less worthy of top of the line service and 2. That the bartender was cock-blocking him.

This is why I usually take a table when I eat alone and spend most of the time with my face in my phone. No constant access for the bartender or anyone else- including the guy in this letter who is actually pissed that the bartender is cock-blocking him on top of being pissed that he is getting treated as less than.…

A Leavue of Their Own is the best sports movie of all time. Fuck Rudy.

I felt the ‘idiot loser brother who gets the college money that should have gone to you’ deep in my chest. Especially fun when he flunks out with 2 semesters to go bc he is both an idiot and a loser despite what your mother desperately tells people.

Well. Yes. She clearly was making their lives difficult because she was insisting that they stop allowing a toxic culture. Just like any woman over the last century in any workplace who has tried to stop men from touching them inappropriately/demanding sexual favors/demeaning them/fighting for salary parity or any of…

Because his opinion was racist. This isn't difficult.

Slab. Pie.

Men will forgive each other so much. 

The one thing that transcends all cultures is the snitch cousin whose mama likes him too much to whom you can’t tell a thing. He'll be back in the kitchen telling Gram/Aunt Linda/Cousin Joanne about whatever it is you didnt want them to know about. Frickin Kyle.

Yeah. This is the correct take. Or as I always called it, the irish catholic take. I’ve never understood the love for Little Women. It is insufferable twaddle. The idea that a Woman Of Character marries a pauper for love and A Trashy Woman marries for financial comfort reinforces the notion that women should feel…

I have ***several*** friends who got their feelings hurt by this.

From my interactions with the English upper class, I don't think they have any idea what that means and find it a completely irrelevant idea. I tend to agree about the family meetings too. They wouldn't have devoted that much energy to it. 

Ha. I mentioned above, my co-worker’s mom ran with Camilla and Anne and Diana’s sisters back in the day. When you can get her to talk about those days, she tells the same story about Camilla and Charles and about how their story was sanitized later. Camilla wasn’t the only person Charles messed around with during his…

I have a co-worker whose family runs in these circles. His mom was a contemporary of Camilla, Anne, and Diana’s older sisters. Andrew Parker-Bowles was the hot ticket in those circles and Anne and Camilla both chased him. Charles really was, basically, only a distraction for Camilla. And she was one of a few side…

Eleanor was determined to take the lead on austerity measures, exclusively serving NY wine bc it was cheap and keeping the White House kitchen from serving lavish food bc she thought it was in poor taste for them to splash out on food when the average American was going hungry. Imagine that. A President's wife caring…
