That's why you turn the phone off. Seriously, though. If I had a smartphone circa 2003-2004, I would have dropped out b/c I'd be playing Angry Birds instead of reading Chaucer.

Social workers do not work for the NHS, they work for local authorities. You have no idea what you're talking about

I just got back from my long week(end) at home (Tues-Sat, I'm a college student), and I am so goddamn frustrated. The first two days were great, but Thanksgiving itself was when it took a turn for the worse. My little brother's autistic, and mid-dinner, he freaked out at me after I told him to calm down because he was…

I met Senator Wendy Davis today! I was at the grocery store getting my birthday cake and I saw her. Then I walked up to her and told her thank you and good luck. I almost cried. Why, I don't know. Her husband was very sweet too. Total fan girl moment.

I acutally answered this for another one of my grammar peeps like you awhile back! It's just funny. It looks fucking funny (like KITTEH) and stoopid. It makes me laugh. That's all. And I do it because I like it and it's my thing. Sometimes you have to take the Burt with the Burt, you know?

I am going to take this opportunity to say

I missed you last week Jezzies! Combination of Kinja glitching & one hell of a week reduced me to lurking status. So much stuffs happened. And didn’t happen. And kinda happened. My brain is basically a hot mess from all the stuffs.

I would like to take this time to say that Burt should take over Jezebel! Her posts are hilarious and she's just so damn amazing! Go, Burt!

OH MY GOD. THONGSGIVING.

Grammys are worthless. Michael Bolton and Milli Vanilli won Grammys. They are an industry award that celebrates record sales, not actual talent.

I love that you set up an account just to promote Carrie Underwood.

Cool story, bro. Stop being a jerk, how 'bout? It's natural for people to resist remakes of classics; one of the greatest cinematic musicals being remade as a TV movie? By a country singer? You must see the cognitive disconnect here. Sure, Carrie Underwood is talented and likely a lovely human being, but that's no…

Relevant.

I already posted this, but there's NO comparison between Carrie Underwood and Julie Andrews. Not that Carrie isn't talented, but Julie is on another level.

My two daughters wanted to watch the Sound of Music and I really wanted my son (then 11) to watch it with us. So I maybe kinda framed it as being a WWII action movie.

Yeah, no. Thinking a singer would do a shitty job at playing a beloved, iconic character ≠ tearing down women.

Yeah… No.
