Unfortunately, the experience we both had in Catholic school may be a relic of the past — a past heavily influenced by the liberal afterglow of Vatican II that persisted into the 1980s. By the 1990s, John Paul II and his reactionary policies (and appointments) started rolling back this progressive streak in all…

I prefer "You get what you get and you don't get upset" — rhyming makes it true.

Just nobody tell Fox News that the commemorative quote on the 9/11 memorial is about two gay terrorists ... or, if you do, give me time to heat up some popcorn first.

That's a relief ... I thought this was an article about Doctor Who being "flexible" about vaccinations, which would have been sad given his concern for humanity's well-being.

Okay, but now it says don't throw away your "regular" beards. This confused me until I read the comments about the edit; my exact thoughts were: "What's a regular beard? How can it be thrown away? Is that a merkin for your face? No, that's silly. But seriously, why wasn't I issued my regular beard? Who do I complain…

If I were a Cressida, I might go out of my way to avoid dating the younger brothers of popular royalty. Based on Shakespeare and Chaucer, the likeliest outcome of that scenario would be dying from leprosy as a Greek captive.

Double monocles! You'll be twice as hip and able to differentiate between big and little surprises.

Rather than nurse Buffy, though, I would go for Angel as astronaut and Spike as caveman so we could settle that argument at the same time.

The only correct answer is both, alternating or together depending on how much kink you can handle (although having them constantly trying to one-up each other would be simultaneously the best and most annoying part of the latter arrangement).

I think the secret key to his career is that he doesn't act, he LARPs in front of cameras.

I cannot comb my hair unless I shower daily — it goes completely crazy with weird angles, swirls, tufts that stick up at strange angles, etc. Trying to comb it without showering exacerbates those problem and leads to even weirder hair configurations. Trust me, it's like something out of a bad 80s sci-fi movie.

It's like the perfect guide for how to inculcate hypocrisy.

New Girl's Problem is tied up to the original premise of the show: single hipster-cute girl (who is actually kind of a directionless slob) moves in with dude-bros (who actually aren't so bad) and hi-jinks ensue.

No, you're probably right. It would be slightly less sad, although by no means okay, if these guys thought someone's dignity was worth more than $250. A low number implies that they don't even see what they're asking for as being problematic. What does that say about their day-to-day interactions with women? If it…

The difference is between a (completely) bad plan and a poorly written advertisement. It could be the second without being the first. I suppose we should expect an edited version with corrections in the future if it's the latter.

Sure, but perhaps the thought is that the base fee is lower because the "tips" are going to offset that (again, they should have indicated the approximate pot amount if this is the case). It's kind of like having a very low wage for waiters/waitresses on the principle that they make it up in tips (also not something I…

Caveat: I'm not endorsing this in any way.

Congratulations! You're 100% qualified for a career in politics.

Vanilla Coke Zero is heavenly — although finding a grocery store that regularly (and adequately) stocks it can be a hassle. Whenever I see it, I clear the shelves.

To be completely fair, the movie does show the frying pan becoming the official weapon of her kingdom's army after it proves such an effective weapon in her (and her love interest, what's-his-name's) hands.
