I got some heat for saying so on another forum, but I maintain it is true. Tattoo on face=crazy person. Exception: the person is Maori; it’s an accepted and normal part of their culture.

I’m sorry, but sticking things in your urethra is never going to be a good idea. You can damage it or introduce bacteria into it, which can lead to bladder infections or worse.

That’s to let urine or semen out. Don’t stick things in your penis, son.

I like this idea! Another one, cribbed from a mother on a message board I read. Her daughter wanted to have the elf and she was dead set against it. So she told her that the elf had gotten Lyme disease from one of Dancer’s ticks and as a result was to tired to travel, so he couldn’t come to their house. :-)

That still amazes me—when I first read about it, I thought someone was making a joke. There is a local coffee store that puts a sign in their window announcing when they get a shipment of those beans in. When I see it a little tiny part of me dies. I share the earth with people who willingly make their coffee from…

No, because none of what you said is true.

I’ll try it next time I go to Trader Joe’s. I love that place—so much nice booze, for cheap.

Ditto. I’m told sweet wines are unsophisticated, but I’m too old now to care. St. Michelle’s Reisling is my favorite—not only because it’s $7 at Trader Joe’s.

This. Come on, it’s not like she needs the money. She just said “I don’t give a fuck about those people, I want that money.” If she actually needed the money, I could give it a pass.

This is terrible, but it reminded me that someone (Truman Capote?) said that she looked like a hammerhead shark, her eyes were almost on the sides of her head.

Fair enough.

It’s only 10:20 A.M. where I am, but as soon as I finish this, I’m going to take my break, go down to the cafeteria, where they (thank God) have wine. I wish they had something stronger.

“I’ve long been bothered by how many women choose to take their husband’s last names as well.”

Yes. Your kidney and liver cleanse toxins from your blood. If those aren’t doing what they should, you need to go to a doctor; no amount of cayenne pepper or lemon juice is going to help.

Me either. I want my elected representative to be what I am not. I want them to be smarter, better educated, better dressed, better looking—the whole nine yards. Forget this “He seems like a guy I’d have a beer with” nonsense. I don’t want to have a beer with the President—I want him to be a skilled negotiator, not my…

True. Although it dates from the late 19th century, in some ways this paper seems preferable to what you find on dating sites today.. These people are up front about what they bring to the table and what their limitations are. I find that preferable to what I found on OKCupid and Match.

That’s my New Years’ resolution.

I’m so glad you’ve gotten away from him. Take care of yourself, you deserve all the best.

What were these $200 socks made from, the fur of an endangered breed of alpine goat?

I’ve flagged that comment (“shitskin” is surely hate speech) and hopefully it will be gone soon.
