If you're first, then I'm second!

Word! As soon as my comment posted, I remembered his MMA-fighting wife. Bourdain could hurl insults while Ottavia gets down to business. Tag team!

I hope Anthony Bourdain beats the shit out of that asshole.

Ew, I read that as "pus" as in the discharge from a whitehead or what comes out of a boil, so now I'm all grossed out over my breakfast. Sorry, I probably shouldn't have shared that.

The Secret

"Pretty but a bit overweight, with hunched shoulders..." That's not journalism, that's a 7th grade burn book.

Better than sex, ice cream or kittens. The two-part series on Gloria Swanson is a masterpiece.

The one little old lady was honestly frightened for her life because her asthma is so bad and she's…

Beat me to it. That is just...a moment right there, you feel me?

Slightly off-topic (not really but it has nothing to do with birth control) but I want to share the audio of Dr. King's final speech, given two days before his assassination. It is beautiful, chilling and prophetic. Listened this morning over breakfast and I was all tears and goosebumps.
