Cosby was hilarious to me when I was 10 and wasn't allowed to watch Pryor. I haven't seen any of Cosby's stuff in the past 20 years, but I'm guessing that adult me would find it boring and bland where child me thought it was funny.

Re-reading, I can see what you were doing there. Apparently the thought of strangers' lips touching me impairs my reading comprehension.

It's genius, really—a day devoted wholly to people spending their disposable income on themselves.

We have been trying to convince our families for years that we don't need gifts. I have been trying to make it less stressful even before that by suggesting we draw names and only buy one gift each, or do an ornament exchange, or kick in a small amount each to make a donation to a charity in the family's name, or any…

If I meet one (which I haven't) I will totally send them your way in order to prevent them from touching me AT ALL. These people are my nightmare.

I stopped watching a while ago, but Mary totally got it on with that one dude who died. So you could totally have made a case for Mary and Matthew.

Both?

The whole concept of a poll to ban certain words is weird to me anyway (I get that we aren't actually, legally banning words and all, and that it's really just words people are sick of hearing, but - dudes. AMERICA).

I think this boils down to White People aren't allowed to say something so we need to completely eradicate it from the language combined with the need to be the White Savior of the African American community. And also dude's just a moron.

I feel like they are ruining my junior year of high school just because they can. 2 of my friends actually sang this song in the talent competition at the National Beta Club meeting that year. And I can say with almost 100% certainty that I will prefer the high school talent show version of the song way more than…

I believe in adoption. I am adopted. I am attempting to adopt. I'm all in favor of putting babies up for adoption.

I do not understand people who think corn mazes are going to be fun. It's like I am the only one who remembers Children of the Corn.

My first thought was that "Internet mad" and "Plus sized model isn't really plus sized" are at this point just life facts and not really news anymore.

I hate Kerouac, but I would listen to it if Jeff Goldblum read it to me.

Same.

I'm a little stunned that she is more famous from Downton Abbey than from Harry Potter (of course, I never forget that I first became familiar with her in Sister Act as Mother Superior).

That sounds exactly like what dinner with The Rock would be like, except he might call you a jabbroni (sp?) at some point.

I stopped thinking he was deep somewhere around Smooth, and then forgot he existed. Except recently Matchbox 20 has been showing up on some of the stations that claim to play Classic Rock. Now he just reminds me that I am old.

It might be important to note that even if you take this really, really literally, God is speaking to one specific person.

I have heard Jeremiah 1:5 stretched beyond context and used as justification by anti-abortion folks:
