I used to be a caricaturist at 2 different theme parks in Orlando; I graduated art school in 2002 and worked in the parks from 2003-2006.

I fucking hated doing it, because 95% of the tourists were at best idiots and at worst rude imbeciles (the other 5% were chill and appreciative and the only thing keeping me from…

ALSO recently, a guy, in front of my boyfriend started trying to hit on me by insulting my red hair— "I hear redheads are crazy" and "Are you a natural redhead?" and as I saw my boyfriend squaring off, about to interject, I was just like, "No, it's not natural. I was in the sewers and some radioactive Ooze spilled on…

About 11 years ago, I was very active on Livejournal. It was a public LJ and a guy that I wasn't friends with started commenting on posts— innocuous stuff like "lol" or "that sounds fun" but then other times striking up entire tangental conversations. I never really responded because he seemed to be vying for my…

I was nearly Henrietta Frances, after both grandmothers. Old-timey and awful in 1979; damn near twee today.

Probably about 5 years ago a friend of my ex's called him up and was excitedly suggesting that we fly out to the West Coast, because he was taking a trip down to California or somewhere with his girlfriend. On that trip, he was going to propose! And then literally lead her through a door where various friends and…

This. I had the same reaction. I was in the fourth grade when H.W Bush was inaugurated, and we all sat in the library watching it. I actually had tears in my eyes that Reagan was leaving. He had been MY president, after all! I mean, he came into office when I was a baby, so he was the only president I was aware of. I…

Maybe, when it came down to it and they had to decide who would bear the brunt of "the scandal", KStew just didn't want to be the new Jennifer Aniston, forever plastered on magazines as a lonely, rejected, and unloved banshee wailing in the wind.

I once knew a girl who participated in weekly "family meals" with a few friends. They always went to one girl's house, who was a fab cook, and she'd cook everything; she'd just require them to bring drinks. A few months of that, the cook had some sort of emotional breakdown, where she admitted that she was jealous of…

I'm actually shocked that the Very Special Episode of 'Punky Brewster' regarding the Challenger explosion wasn't on there.

I guess I'd just point out for everyone offering the "I ate seafood from the Gulf and *I* haven't seen a lesion!!!" defense: you are probably not going to get a mutated crab or oysters filled with black sores on your plate. Whatever physical evidence exists of these things happening to these creatures, is not going to…

I'm pretty sure Mekhi Phifer is not Brandy's brother.

I dunno, I was in college in 1998 and 'The Boy is Mine' was my guilty pleasure JAM.

I had a teacher in high school who was notorious for being a pathological liar. She ironically taught psychology, and for a long time my classmates and I suspected it was just an elaborate experiment. But my mother was also on staff at the school and when I started telling her the tall tales (shit that was CLEARLY…

I had alopecia as a kid, and lost all my hair for a time.... it has since grown back but I am aware it could return. I've always told myself if I had a recurrence of alopecia or ever needed chemo and lost my hair again, I would definitely tattoo my head. I'm glad to hear of someone else doing that!

What do you even do in a situation like that? Were you able to just stop talking to him and cut him out or did he pressure you for a reason? I'd feel almost compelled to assert to him that I knew he was a pervert but that also can't be a totally sound and safe course of action.

Add me to the chorus of people decrying her piss-poor accent. I mean, I am a Southerner and did go to college in Savannah, so I know what I'm listening for, but you can't even convince me Wiig has even heard Paula Deen speak before. Yech.

Well, when *I* went (graduated 10 years ago), the city had a higher murder rate per capita than NYC and, I believe, the highest violent crime rate in Georgia outside of the much bigger city of Atlanta. SCAD hid and outright lied to parents and students about the safety of the city, which had school buildings spread…

I know someone who was a cameraman on Keeping Up With the Kardashians for a few seasons and they were essentially forbidden to film her below the waist if she was wearing flats, because without the heels, she just had a giant, saggy butt. He cited a scene or two from the first season where the rule wasn't in play, and…

When I was 4, I had a general concept of what the sewer was, and that sinks and toilets emptied into them. I therefore concluded, that through the toilet or sink, all houses in a neighborhood are effectively connected. So, one night, I was being a brat and my dad threatened to give me a spanking (hopefully we don't…
