Seriously. How I survived the Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey — I snuck in a flask of whiskey. Smoking a joint in the parking lot may also be an acceptable option, but be prepared to wonder what the hell is happening when it wears off halfway through and there's a wizard with birdshit on his head driving a rabbit sleigh…

Hey man, I consider myself a nerd. I enjoyed the Lord of the Rings. But the first Hobbit movie killed me. Waaaaaay too stretched out. But my SO is a Hobbit Mega Nerd so I had to go. But to answer how to survive the Hobbit when you're not into it: I snuck in some whiskey.

Gummy fiber saved my life because I don't have to listen to my SO whine and complain about his hemorrhoids which are easily treated with fiber, but he thinks fiber is gross and not easy to take, so he stops taking and it and cycle continues. And then he eats my women formula gummy vitamins too.

Yeah, I think it depends on the guy. My boyfriend is super terrified of babies and so even though I am on birth control he still withdraws.

My boyfriend and I were a little insecure because we bought like, one string of red and green lights and strung them around a single front window and stuck a little snowman gel cling in the middle. But then a few nights later, our neighbors ALSO lit up a single window with a strand of lights and put up a little…

I replayed the "hurricane in France" one a bunch of times because I really could not hear it as anything else. The real lyrics are almost as dumb: "Even in a hurricane of frowns I know that we'll be safe and sound." I like the fake lyrics better.

For me the adrenaline didn't kick in until the crash was over. I was in a car with a group of friends when we hydroplaned off a highway down an embankment and into a tree in someone's backyard. I was riding on the hump in the backseat between two people with no seat belt and got thrown all around the cab. I didn't…

Yeah, that's what I was about to say. My mom had an ovarian teratoma in her 20s, and randomly told me about it when I was a teenager. It was full of teeth and hair and I'm pretty sure her describing it to me effectively ended my childhood.

See, I never had a problem with my patches falling off, but I switched to NuvaRing because I had one doctor put the fear of death into me about the chances of developing a blood clot. She told me she refuses to prescribe them at all for that reason and switched me to NuvaRing. I was about to get really exasperated…

When I was a kid my biologist dad got us Zoobooks, and we were pretty obsessed with them. Each magazine was focused on a different type of animal or animal theme and had tons of kid-level information and lots of pictures. We kept them for a long time instead of kind of just tossing them out like you do most magazines.…

Me too. I was a Girl Scout until high school, and I've always been happy with how progressive the organization is. I can buy my cookies proudly from roving Girl Scout bands!

OMG. I'm glad someone else thinks that. My boyfriend and I were just talking about that last night. I always thought it was just pronounced "Smog" so I crack up every time the announcer goes "Smaaawwuuggg!"

My GPS is too bossy and it always wants me to take the ferry, even when the ferry is out of service.

I thought it was pretty awful. But I am very picky about my musicals.

Probably traffickers had to dump it because of a possible run in with the authorities. Growing up on an island close to Mexico in Texas, people would sometimes find huge bales of weed washed up/hidden in the dunes. Sometimes it was a boat crash but a lot of times product was dumped because of possible contact with the…

I love the Muppets so much, and thankfully found a Muppet-loving dude. When we first got together and I discovered his family's major Christmas tradition was getting together and watching the Muppet Christmas Carol, I knew I had found a good one.

The glove box makes officers VERY nervous. When I was a kid, I was driving with my mom and my younger sister when my mother got pulled over for speeding. My mom is a small pleasant-looking middle class white woman driving a minivan, and my sister is about 8-10 years old and in the front passenger seat. When the cop…

In my Texas public high school in the late 90s/early 00s we had a "health" class that was a general phys-ed/nutrition/growth and development type class that was supposed to have a sex ed unit, but it was taught by my weirdly asexual, uptight, super-Christian women's basketball coach. On the day we were supposed to…

Like a lot of people said, this style comes from historically black colleges and universities... but that being said, I don't know about the rest of the south, but marching band is some serious shit in high school in southeast Louisiana too. Marching bands are a fixture in Mardi Gras parades where they have to march…

Americans? Sorry! We were arguing about whether it was in the UK or just a part of the Commonwealth.
