Part of the reason people disliked her was that she was a proud, outspoken Republican. I’m surprised that no one is mentioning this now.

Their solution was always to tell the women to wear a belt right under their tits, because “it’s the smallest part of your torso.” I always thought it looked so odd - like these poor ladies didn’t know where their waists were located.

The article says he had taken off his shirt and pants before he started hitting her. Sounds like he was after more than just snacks. I’m glad this woman was able to fight back, and I hope there aren’t other victims who weren’t as lucky.

That line about animal abuse was being used when I was a kid in the ‘70s, and it was “I’d kiss you, but that would be animal abuse” - it was a way to tell another kid they were ugly. Mean, sure, but it had no racial implications. But, of course, everything is “racist” these days.

Hank Azaria was doing an Israeli accent. I didn’t find it “weird,” considering his character’s name was Chaim.

I grew up in this area. He’s not wrong about East Palo Alto. 

Fair enough. I didn’t get all that from your original post.

That sounds like a lousy experience, and I’m sorry you went through it. But I’m having a hard time understanding this. You ignored your gut feeling and didn’t try to leave. You didn’t establish any boundaries. You didn’t tell him to stop. You didn’t tell him he was hurting you. Or did you, and I missed something? If…

Rooibos chai with almond milk.

Bought Little Earthquakes when it came out, and I still listen to it. "Leather" and "Crucify" remain some of my all-time favorite songs.

Seems like it's more of a generational thing. My parents are Californians (by way of New York), and they have similar beliefs to your parents. I have long hair, and I'm 48. I think it's a case-by-case. I see a few too many women my age here in Southern California with platinum extensions nearly to their waists. It's…

I do enjoy his thoughts on poop, though.

Oh, god - I did this in the late '90s. On purpose. Between the hair, the half-shaved eyebrows and the lips thickly lined with dark brown eyebrow pencil... the mind boggles.

It was really disappointing, and Evan Peters was terrible in it. He started off so well in the first season, but "hot, troubled teen" seems to be all he's really capable of portraying well.

She certainly was. I've seen this one... more than once.

I think that one was called FAB FIVE.

Your name is the tits. Now I'm going to have to read that story for the billionth time when I get home tonight.
