“like the teacher fired for posting an FB picture with a glass of wine.”

I just added this movie to my netflix queue, the discs that come in the mail. Thanks for the tip.

I think that teachers at Catholic schools have a reasonable expectation of better behaved students, more latitude in controlling your classroom, and a higher level of support from parents. I went to Catholic school from K-8, and some of those teachers were straight up sadistic. They would do things which would get a…

Can you just carry your hamster through security? It seems as if airlines are expected to have their own policies and are either getting sympathy or criticism with how they are handling these emotional support animals. If the TSA prohibits these animals, that would wash the responsibility from the airlines and we…

To be real, if the hamster is small enough to be flushed down the toilet, it is probably small enough to just be hidden in her carry-on bag.

I think it is pathetic to fall down. How does he not have the awareness that one of his stones is right behind him? How does this affect the score, or is it an automatic loss? If you’re not from Canada, Sweden, Switzerland, or UK, curling might be the easiest way to get your ass in the olympics.

Bermuda also makes a lot of money from shady banking practices.

“HE (Elliot Rodger) FELT ENTITLED TO BE GIVEN THE INGREDIENTS OF SUCCESSFUL MASCULINITY.”

You were probably a naive child in the 1980's, although before the internet, it isn’t that surprising that children would watch tv and come to weird conclusions about life.

Yeah, he is surprisingly handsome in this picture. Dafoe has become much better looking with age. I was thinking recently that there aren’t any female character actors. Steve Buscemi, Stanley Tucci, Willem Dafoe, Bruno Kirby, men who are hardly leading men but are famous enough as character actors. Who are their…

When I wrote, “choosing a restaurant,” I meant to write, “choosing a restaurant type,” as in, “I’m thinking of....trying Mexican (food or men) tonight.”

What? When you were a kid, presumably in high school in the 1980's you thought Georgetown was an all black university? Why?

“I’m not sure why you keep insisting that unattractive men somehow get nowhere.”

“Type of figure, weight, ethnicity, skin, breast size, etc. etc. all factor into whether a woman is judged to be attractive.”

“The idea that just about any woman can get any guys she wants is borne of your own insecurities.”

Apparently, frat boys at Cornell got busted for having a “pig roast.” A contest to see who can have sex with the most overweight women, or the heaviest woman. My ex boss told me a story about in college his frat had a “pig party,” where the men compete on who can bring the ugliest girl to a party. Both of these are…

I am not sexist. It is not sexist to point out sexism.

Here is a long post I sent to someone else on my thoughts on why couples tend to have a better looking woman:

Ok, I really regret mentioning nonreciprocated oral sex (NRO) as my point is not coming across at all.

Yeah, I agree. I think I really overstated when I said that “Amanda will only hook up with Arnold.” Dennis and Fred are pretty much shut out of dating and hookup culture.
