Okay but I also have to add that the concept of microwave pasta is appalling to me. Seriously, dried pasta is already my "lazy food". How difficult is it to boil pasta? And you'd serve microwaved pasta to your MOM?!?

If your description of the ad is correct (I can't watch youtube on this computer and am too lazy at this particular minute to swivel my chair 180 degrees and login to my other one), then this is beyond casually including a gay couple in their ad and more like actively promoting gay acceptance, like a PSA that is also…

No worries. You are absolutely right. I *am* a careless reader!

Glad to deliver something you love, My New Friend!

Okay now I understand... good point, really!

Well, she is theoretically the most beautiful contestant in her state, and is vying for the title of most beautiful contestant in the nation. You don't think that in order to be so, she needs to be a bit... unusual?

She is stunningly beautiful in both face and body. Isn't that in itself unusual? I'm pretty happy with my body, but I'm knock-kneed and have pooches of fat where I don't want them and visible ribs. That's why I'm not a beauty pageant contestant.

I honestly have no idea what more than one of you are talking about when you refer to "normal"!

What does "normal" mean to you?

Okay, then do people expect beauty pageants to reflect "normal"? If so, then what is the competition exactly? Why not just have a bunch of random women show up, and pick the winners by lottery? And why would we want to look at them?

Do people really expect beauty pageants to reflect "average"?

And cheese.

I love this article and everything about it.

Loving breakfast food is not a weird place. You ever notice how restaurants that serve breakfast all day proudly advertise it? None of them proudly advertise, "WE SERVE DINNER AT ASS O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING!" No, they do not.

You know... I just don't know. I'd totally say it's all grooming and that they should stay the fuck away from each other, but I've just wasted the last hour reading about the LeTourneau mess and they seem really happy together, and all of their children (including hers from her first marriage) seem to have accepted…

Aaaaargh more guilt at not being a vegetarian...

That is a complicated question, but I'm not sure how it fits into this specific story. This story is telling us about Lake Superior, and you're asking, "At what size does a lake become a pond?" I don't know, but it's somewhere WAY before Lake Superior.

No, because he's now a grown-ass adult. He wasn't when he was 12.
