Wow, I never knew this before. Considering the average American woman weighs apx. 160, that makes it ineffective for a very large percentage of the population.

I'd venture to guess it's far more likely said Dad wants to regulate what OTHER teenage girls are allowed to do with their bodies but not his special princess. I call it, "The Hypocritical Asshole Conundrum."

I need No-Red guy to go on a date with Allergic-to-Crunchy woman.

I always thought it was stupid that people say the country was founded on "Judeo-Christian values." People at the founding of the country thought it was founded on Protestant values, because fuck Catholics and Papism. They thought it was founded on Protestant values so much that they made the establishment of…

If you can't learn it at Harvard, though, then where? Yale?

I hate to white knight Madge, but, having been through a similar situation, sometimes you just have to stop trying to fix someone's life. That doesn't mean you stop caring.

Three things:

I saw a drunk dude wearing a striped poncho and a tacky sombrero + a gunslinger type belt that held plastic shotglasses trying to hail a taxi.

He dropped/stepped on his hat, stooped to retrieve it and haphazardly placed the crushed sombrero back on his head, then he removed the last empty shotglass from his belt and…

I'd say it's far more likely that the woman was in such a rage lather that she didn't want to admit she was wrong. One thing I've learned in life is to never blame malice when stupidity is just as good of an explanation.

When I looked at the bill, she had left a ridiculously small tip of $66.66 (on a check around $190) with a little smiley face and note that said,"because 6 is my favorite number."

Someone please make an animated GIF of them doing the Calvin and Hobbs dance in tandem at the end.

That being said, maybe she failed with her daughter, but at least she can try to help her grandchildren

My current Diablo character is Witch Doctor Frasier Crane, and he summons a zombie I speak to fondly and call Harold. I don't think I ever loved my husband more than when he knew exactly who (what?) I was talking about.

I had all of those books when I was a kid and they scared the bejeezus out of me (Harold, I'm looking at you). I found one of them a few years ago at my parents' place and read some of the stories. They are, honestly, really badly written. It makes me wonder how much more scared I would have been if they had hired a…

The artwork was always the best part, and the most terrifying. These are my favorite three.

Great parents can still have shitty kids despite their best efforts. And she seems to have been a good influence for the older daughter. She's not perfect, I'm sure, but she's a damn sight better than a mother who would date her own daughter's rapist.

She may or may not have been a shitty parent, but you can be the best parent in the world and still have a screwed up kid, because culture, community, and possibly genetics play a part in who someone becomes. She also seems to have raised Anna to be strong enough to call June on her crap.

just makes me wonder if June herself was probably victimized at some point in her life...or if this McDaniels shitsack hasn't just been grooming her or something?

Thank you, grandma. No matter how it turns out, at least someone's looking out for the girls.
