I wish to believe that "raise the bar" is literal and we're talking about suspension bondage.

Quite right about my misuse of the term "stock" — although I stand by my contention that the only mistake here was not clearing the rights with the original photographer before using the image (which seems like it would have nipped this in the bud, anyway). A social media campaign is an advertisement; ads are not…

Other than the lack of credit to the original photographer, I don't see anything wrong here at all with using a stock photo. Do we have a problem when a food assistance charity uses a decades old picture of a fly-covered starving child? Chances are, that particular child (a) may be from one of several countries your…

Says Texas: Your move, Florida.

Clone Wars is actually still canon — meaning the current Asajj is, too.

Maybe ... I'm getting a "wishful thinking" vibe on this one, though.

Wait a minute — wouldn't Asajj be a grandmother at this point in the timeline?

For me, cars are a means for me and my family to get from point A to point B faster than walking or public transportation. If a car runs and can do that, it is good and I will drive it until it can't do that. When it can't do that, I take it to someone who tries to make it do that professionally. Depending on how much…

Teabaggers have no interest in real historical facts nor, for all their talk about hating moochers, are they interested in having to pay for anything unless it might hurt someone they don't like to do so.

Jumping the wall at the Governor's mansion at midnight to run the garden maze while avoiding the guards and their dogs was sort-of fun, though. As long as you didn't accidentally break a trellis trying to jump back over the wall (because it's so much damn taller from the inside - it was still broken the last time I…

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.
