Yay!

Mine wrote Fuck instead of Puck...this was in high school, reading a Midsummer Night's Dream, but we all still giggled like small children.

I don't think you understood or read this article at all.

That was my reaction, verbatim.

Yup. I had swim practice at 6 every morning, and then more practice from 3-4:30 every afternoon. I'd regularly be on the bus right after class got out to get to a swim meet, and then get home around 10 pm that night—these weren't Fridays either, but in the middle of the week. And this is swimming! Not even a sport…

well...both groups can't be >50% of the population. Also, I was not implying that all men are their base demographic, and therefore was not insulting all men. You could argue that I have a a picture in my head of their base demographic that is unflattering; I wouldn't deny that.

They literally ask you if you agree to marry the person during the marriage ceremony. 'No' is all he would have had to say. And he can't get 'ripped off' in a divorce if he doesn't go through with the marriage. So...you're totally unreasonable to think that is a reasonable explanation for what happened.

You have the handle 'GawkerStinks' and a serious addiction to unnecessary caps lock. But you feel the need to tell me (me, specifically) how everyone on this post is so uptight and outraged and all of Gawker is terrible because we don't get hilarious jokes that regurgitate stereotypical bullshit. You are more outraged…

I didn't know that...that's unfortunate.

I'm a woman. I watch soccer. I dread having to watch FA cup, Champions league, etc., on Fox Sports 1. The men are obnoxious douchebags and the woman they have seems to have almost zero knowledge of the sport—or at least is only ever allowed to comment in the most vague terms, while wearing a short dress and standing…

Congress is on break the whole month. The real question is wtf is the governor doing about it.

We (together 9 years) don't fight either. I tend to get really sarcastic but it's not a 'fight'. We've never yelled.

Kids/Middle Grade books are hard to get right. Kids hate being condescended to. But is it usually this blatant? Maybe it's because many adults (mostly parents) inevitably want to believe kids at 12 are emotionally identical to kids at 7. The same reason they wait to have 'the talk' until it's several years too…

I'm horrified by the whole book, but I also think it's pretty fucking hilarious that they think the best way to reach teenagers is with a picture book. And not a cool graphic novel type picture book but a proper picture book. The sort normally sold to 4-9 year olds.

You take that back.

Hmm. I never stop swearing just because there are old people or children around. Some of the foulest mouths I've ever seen were on old people and young children.

lol your friend sounds just like me. I just don't see anything wrong with it—of course I talk really quietly, so no one probably knows that I'm swearing up a storm. But, yeah, better to find friends that work for your quirks than try to change others.

Hey am I your ex-friend?

I mean...who can? I don't pay attention to when I swear, but I know I do it a lot. Once you decide you don't actually have a problem saying those words, there's no real reason to keep track of when you say them. I did sometimes wonder if I was saying them around my grandmother, but now that she's dead I really don't…

OH MY GOD yes. When I first moved here, I worked selling video games and I was just like...wtf is Mary-o. No. Get out of my store.
