Mine will bring me Dr Bear or Lamb Chop or Purple Monkey and he gets so fed up when that doesn't work. "What? The skinny raccoon isn't gonna do it? WELL THEN I GIVE UP. Let's get you to a therapist, because I've already brought out my big guns goddammit."

This is the look I always get when I start to cry watching soldier/dog reunion videos. Then he huffs a sigh and lays down on me like "Jesus, lady...again? Why?"

Oh my god I'm so glad I'm not the only one. That and Jim Henson's funeral, any time I feel like I need a good cry.

Yeah, I know a couple that's been together since late 8th grade/early freshman year of high school in the same situation. No one was surprised when they got married and had a kid, it was universally recognized as a "Yup, you're the exception that proves the rule."

Agreed 100% with what you said about Khan, which is frustrating because several of my friends were SO PISSED RAGEY that we couldn't even have a conversation about it when we saw the movie so...blerg.

Agreed. And I'm not a huge fan of Cohen, but I get the point he was trying to make with the dictator. And while I agree there's a lot of white washing (and gendered issues and problems with sexuality and and and) in Hollywood/casting choices, I can't say that I think Cumberbatch as Khan was one of them. That…

Thank you thank you thank you.

Ahh, gotcha, sorry for misreading.

Suggestion: Get a Birchbox subscription. They ask you your skin type/interests/coloring. I have found more AMAZING products through them in the past year than I care to admit. My favorite mascara, eyeliner, lipstick, lip gloss, concealer, and several hair products, all from them for $10 a month, plus you get…

I'm cool with short hand as long as it follows general journalistic guidelines/best practices. The first time you print or say a name in an article, it's "President Obama" or "President Barack Obama" or "Secretary Clinton" or "Secretary Hillary Clinton". From there on you can use just the last name unless it's for…

One of my favorite stories about my great uncle Jim (who is a Republican because that's how he voted in 1960 and he thinks it's still the same party as it was then) is from Christmas 2007. He asked me what I thought of various contenders for the 2008 presidential election. First McCain. Then Obama. Then 'Hillary'.…

NOT OKAY.

Can I also say how annoyed I am that I her people referring to her as "Huma" all the fucking time? I can't tell you how RAGE!crosberg I get when I hear commentators on MSNBC of all places throwing around "Huma" and "Hillary" and "Weiner" as if there isn't a problem there. Give the ladies back some fucking agency and…

WHAAAAT? Oh my god, it's so sweet. So good, lovely. I'll admit I'm a giant sap for the main actor, but everyone should watch 'Babe' at some point.

I am so glad I'm not alone in this! I feel like every generation must have a handful of pop culture references that resonate like this, but I'm aware that this one is weirder than most. Thanks for sharing!

I know this is really, really weird, but I've always wanted somebody to say this to me. This movie was such a strangely vital part of my childhood-ish years that there's something deeply satisfying about the way he says it.

There's a beautiful documentary that Prince Charles helped make that includes a lot of footage of her coronation and his childhood. She was a tiny thing, and tough as fucking nails. They rerun it on PBS all the time, took me forever to find the name: "A Jubilee Tribute to the Queen by the Prince of Wales." It's…

I think it actually is straight, based on the handle alone. The curve and size of the bowl are very deceptive.

I've already been given clearance by the groom to get a little drunk and sing 'Baby Beluga' to the whales. It's gonna be awesome.
