I can't believe anyone doesn't think of it as "discuss" because it's for comments?  Discussing?

I wouldn't want to live anywhere other than the late 20th/early 21st century.  VISITING, on the other hand, is something else entirely.  (In that case: everywhere.  But I think the first place I'd go would be ice age Europe.  I'm pretty sure Jean M. Auel didn't get everything right, after all.)

I'm trying to decide whether to post the hacked up "short story" I made out of a NaNoWriMo novel a few years ago.  *nervous giggle*

Aw, sad face.

I'm not sure that's such a rare disease, because I definitely have it too.

I love twitter a lot!  Once you get the hang of it it's great for getting breaking news and little bits of actual humour throughout a day of dealing with exasperrating coworkers.

Question: are you talking about just deodorant or deodorant vs anti-perspirant?  I decided to quit using anti-perspirant a year ago or so, and Tom's was the only option I could find at the store that was just a women's deodorant.  It works ok for me depending on the scent—currently lemongrass seems to be the one that…

Bridesmaids was the first place I remember seeing her.  She must've done something before that, though.

I'm going to… wait for it… Calgary, Alberta in a few weeks.

Aw, that's pretty seriously lame.  My policy is either ignore the dude completely if he sends something ignorant (e.g. "Hey wanna fuck?") or a polite refusal if he seems nice (e.g. "No thanks but good luck with your search!").

I was in Venice at the end of June 2009 and I thought it smelled fine.  I have no idea what everyone is talking about when they say Venice stinks so terribly.

I was going to suggest The Adventures of Augie March except that I didn't like the book.  Drawing a blank on anything else set in Chicago.

As a fervent omnivore I feel like I have to be willing to eat pretty much any cooked meat if offered.  Horse seems like one of the least objectionable options.

I too would like to know what "ridiculously so" entails.

Discuss.

Somehow I never realized this before, but it's 100% correct.

My favourite part was the SPOILER ALERT? George Ferris stuff.  But I actually really loved all of it.

Oh good!  We can still be friends.

Have you read Scoop?  I loved that one so much.

Is 1491 the somewhat questionable book about China discovering North America (or something)?  Your other suggestions look excellent but I'm a bit wary of that one.
