Not to mention the retroactive horror/fear she must have felt upon knowing the wrong person spent all that time in prison while the actual rapist was roaming free...and raped again. Not that it’s her fault AT ALL, but I know that guilt would eat at me and I’d be a much angrier person. I have a great deal of respect…

Yeah, the whole vibe of the original was that they were sort of normal/dweeby (although Susan Sarandon and Barry Bostwick aren’t gross by any stretch) and I’m afraid they’re just going to slap some glasses on the guy and the girl may have, like, a weird part in her hair so we know they’re OMGdorky but it’s just not…

Literally my exact thoughts.

Superstore: basically The Office in a WalMart/Costco. So, not awful, but nothing that special. It’s not like the characters on The Office were super-glam or wealthy anyway.

Fucking Gladys, man.

Love your username.

My cousin went into social work and is now working as a DV advocate and she’s a pretty mouthy woman with a hilarious sense of humor so that must be a job requirement! She has echoed what you said: it’s hard (anything with kids hits her hard and she goes home and hugs her little one extra-tight) but rewarding and she…

Holy Jesus...how are you even able to function in the world after hearing about these things? My hat’s off to you for the good you’ve done. Thank you.

Well, this is the guy who asked that she stop talking about the rape because people knew they had dated and would know it was him. So he’s not so much ashamed of what he did, just worried that people will know.

My dad has needed to use Fleet enemas regularly since, oh, 1982 and let me tell you: online shopping improved our family’s quality of life like you wouldn’t believe! I remember being 6 and carrying an armful up to a cash register like NBD. Ah, childhood.

I once bought hand lotion and wine and wanted to yell, “BITCH YOU DON’T KNOW MY LIFE” at the cashier who was giving me a Look. Like it’s a crime to have dry hands and also enjoy a nice Pinot?

Yep, she looks pretty miserable. I think the reason she wanted to call off the wedding was a report that he had recently fathered another kid (meaning, while they were together/engaged) and she was pissed. So it’s super likely a.) there’s more and b.) she’s married to a guy who can’t stop putting his dick in other…

I think the turkey baster comment wasn’t in regards to his ability to father children, but in her willingness to let him come near her. He has two confirmed children outside this marriage.

I don’t know that he didn’t want to go through with it, though. Sounds like she wanted out and he wasn’t going to stand for that (whether it was to save face or to just get married and create legitimate heirs already or because he’s actually into her) and had the means to do something? Just guessing here...

OK, a couple of us downthread were talking about the weirdness surrounding their marriage but couldn’t recall details. I remember something about her wanting to call it off, but she went through with it after all, but couldn’t remember how it all went down. How awful!

I think she wanted to call off the wedding and was somehow convinced to go through with it? There was definitely some sketchiness.

Do you have dibs on Open-Air Anuses as a band name or...?

Yeah, uh Josh? That ship has sailed.

Yeah, that one really got me. I mean, WHAT? It’s “natural” for men to just grab women’s body parts? I get that it happens, but I call it assault. But what do I know, with my feeble liberal lady mind?

I’ll be in my bunk.
