Just finished the annual watching of the MST3K version of "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians." Once again, I was rooting for Voldar. VOLDAR 4-EVAR!

@misti_k: See I was reading on Jezebel somewhere (can't remember who) saying that they can give you a drug to dilate your cervix ahead of time?

I have been in a monogamous relationship for 16 years. We want no children, but not ready for sterilization/vasectomy. I'd like to get off hormonal birth control and I'm very interested in the IUD. However, all info I've seen on the IUD is for women who have had at least one child. What is the effectiveness of the IUD…

Does anyone have a link to the episode/scenes from the episode where Baron Ambrosia of "Bronx Flavor" was a contestant? My google-fu is failing me.

@It's.Not.Opposite.Day: Same thing happened to me the first time I made matzoh balls! "Oh that can't be right...OH HOLY CRAP IT'S THE MATZOH BALL THAT ATE CLEVELAND. RUN! RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!"

@hausfrau76: HOLY. CARP. I can tell you this: when Uncle Butch gets to the other side, your Mom is going to be there saying, "Now what's this I hear about my not getting to heaven, and even more bullshit?"

Slightly crank-tastic: so. This morning at 2 am my niece, a sophomore at a local college, calls me & Mr. Chryss. Her friend's car, that she borrowed to go to a club, was towed. She needed money and/or a ride to go get the car. So off we go! Into the wild. All of which was fine, I've been in the same situation, but I…

Yes, it's time to play "Obsessions de Chryss" again! For all you folks playing along at home, last time it was adult superstar Mark Davis. This week, it's the Pirates of Penzance Joseph Papp production with Kevin Kline, Linda Rondstadt, and Rex Smith. (Not the movie—the play. Accept no substitutions!) I've been…

@ravella_the_riverboat_queen: AAAAAAAAHHHH! Swooning with jealousy!

@dunkindoogles: My husband is from the south Bronx. He says, "I don't miss the Bronx because I GOT THE HELL AWAY FROM THERE AS FAST AS I COULD."

@royalfan5: MOM????

@Jessybessy: with or without animals: He. and yes, he had a 16 year run as the absolute monarch of our household.

@ElphabaSkywalker: How is your kitteh 16 hours away from you? At your parents'? Are you at college?

Learning to live without my beloved kitteh. This is not easy. Lots of sobbing on Mr. Chryss's and my parts. Arrrgh.

@roomba001: Yes, she's got a knife between her teeth. I like to think that she's about ready to stab "Wal-Martha."

@Thus Spake Kate is effulgent.: Anything that has Sandra Lee in it is TERRIFYING.

Speaking as someone who tried to get her HS's cheerleading squad to root for the chess team (our only winning "sport"), I support this. Bravo.

@Chryss:

@susuwatari1: Mr. Chryss and I were reading The Crystal Cave when Myrddin busted into our apartment. Hence the name. (His personality was more like the Marx Brothers, though.)

My beloved cat, Myrddin Emrys, died the other day. He was 16, and smart and funny and active until the very end. I miss him so much right now. Mr. Chryss and I keep looking for him, catching ourselves, and then sobbing.
