By characterizing it as "detonating an explosive device" you are implying an intent that was not there.

I went to a truly authentic Renaissance Faire once and it sucked. I couldn't drink because my designated driver was burnt at the stake as a witch, everything smelled like raw sewage, and by the end half the invitees were dead of the plague.

They need to think outside the box. Make the planned night of the run also Parent Appreciation Night; invite every parent and guardian to the campus for a night of fruit punch, trivia games, and parent-child sack races. And for the younger siblings, a petting zoo! Then watch the Tour de Franzia collapse in a cloud…

A quick glance at the abstract suggests they were trying to get some statistical data on the incidence, rather than establish "breasts can hurt when you run." Considering all of the scientists specialize in breast health I am sure they knew that it could but they wanted to get some actual statistical breakdowns of…

I'm sure whoever it is is lovely in person, but the grayscale makes it look like she's made of magically animated wax starting to drip in the heat of the sun.

At the Renaissance Faires I go to, historical accuracy is prioritized, from the genuine 15th century corn dogs to the artisanal speakers announcing that someone left their lights on in the parking lot.

Exactly; everyone starts late. The worst offender I've ever encountered is They Might Be Giants, who have started every show I've seen 1-2 hours late. Best is ... none, there is no best, everyone starts late.

Wait, even accepting the puritannical scarlet-A-on-your-bodice worldview,that still doesn't make sense. Why would you wait until your wedding night without telling him? And doesn't that presume you're not having sex with your husband until then? But if you had sex with other guys, why not your fiancee?

No. Is she a politician who was made fun of in the New York Times for her weight?

Absolutely disagree; while the media, particularly the entertainment media implicitly criticizes fat women more than fat men (look at all the fat husband/skinny hot wife sitcoms), when it comes to explicit criticism the double standard swings the other way. If Christie were female the mainstream newspapers and media…

Absolutely. I think the funniest humor magazine I receive in the mail is the KingSizeDirect.com catalogue, where handsome, smiling models wear clothing that is unbelievably garish. In their defense some of their clothing isn't too bad, and the quality can be good for pants and jeans (but not great for shirts), and…

I guess it comes down to body shape, I used to wear a 46-38 and the only place that sold my size were online places with the fashion sense of 12th century cabbage farmers.

Didn't Livestrong do the same thing? Decided "awareness" was more important than research? I guess actually trying to do something about breast cancer isn't as important as telling all those people who are unaware of its existence that it's a thing.

No, I've never noticed that. In fact, I've noticed the opposite; most overweight men are hypersensitive about size because they deal with the same issues that overweight women do. I hope you're not extrapolating the mass-media double standard about men's and women's weight (which certainly does exist) with actual…

Men's designer jeans are frequently unavailable over 42, sometimes 40, and once they're over 38 the inseams get weirdly shorter.

Being someone who IS built like an offensive lineman, clothing is nearly impossible to find. It's not the big sizes that are that hard to find, it's the tall ones. Macy's appears to believe every man is an elfin 5'5" with a 26-inch waist, JC Penney's says it sells tall stuff but its tall sizes are in reality not,…

Good point. All fights aren't a result of bullying, in fact I'd guess that most probably aren't.
