One time I was in a dive bar in NYC and these really drunk guys thought I was Cyndi Lauper so I played along for bit. It was weird because I think they really, really thought I was Cyndi.

Back in the day, I was often told that with my big 80s perm-curly red hair and similar features that I bore a resemblance to Tawny Kitaen from the Whitesnake video. So one night some girlfriends and I were out at a club and these guys were buying us drinks because they had somehow been led to believe that I was the…
When I was about 13, I pretended to be a soon to be mother on a baby name message board. I really liked baby names at the time (girl names only, der), carefully maintaining lists for all my future children. This was back around 2001 so it was a very primitive message boards, but I was extremely active, becoming a top…
I went to England with my sister in the early 90s, or you, know when the world still loved Americans. My sister had really long brown hair and was tall and skinny, and had a passing resemblance to Alanis Morrisette. As soon as we got off the fucking plane, people were FREAKING THE FUCK OUT. OMG is that Alanis??? So we…
(This one’s really about my cousin pretending to be someone else, but it’s gold). Okay, so, my entire extended family used to travel to Myrtle Beach and stay in those beachfront resort campgrounds in our RVs. If you’re familiar, you’ll recall that the big thing for teenagers there is to rent one of the resort’s golf…
My husband’s story:
This isn’t very nice but whatever.
My mum and I went to NYC for my graduation from high school, and we looked at the line to get on the boat to the statue of liberty, zoomed in a picture of the statue from the shore, then went for a walk back up to our hotel (which was near fifth avenue so we got the chance to walk all through China town and little…
“But it’s just a field... with ruins... who even knows what they are?” —The 3 other girls with whom I visited Rome when I was 20, commenting on the Forum, with a complete lack of intellectual curiosity. (They wanted to skip it even though it is conveniently located RIGHT NEXT to the Coliseum!)
To be fair though, the review of the Statue of Liberty is basically what I would tell my friends that came to visit in New York. “Do you want to spend 6 hours in line? No? Then go to Battery Park. Take some pictures of the Statue of Liberty. Done. Now move on and do something else more fun with your day.”
Because watching a public proposal is like being forced to participated in their weird sexual shit, and I didn’t consent to that.
He doesn’t “whip out” a ring one of the guys who “checks on his injury” slips it to him at around :44. That’s aces Best Man stuff right there.
My Nana likes to tell us all the time about her and my grandfather’s prom (1961). They went out to dinner beforehand, then to the prom, then they drove into Manhattan and went to a night club. Instead of doing the horse-drawn carriage thing they went to Jones Beach and stayed until the sun came up. My grandfather fell…
Aloha, written and directed by Cameron Crowe, opened today to dismal reviews. Despite its all-star cast, everyone…
No family is safe
This is adorable. Also, bigots? This is what you’re SO AFRAID OF! These two sweet old guys are SO THREATENING, AMIRITE?
This was definitely a headline that gave me a major doubletake for a few seconds. Then I said “awwww” and all was right with the world.
