Same. That age range seems to be the sweet spot where a person has both wisdom and flexibility, between communicating only through tweets vs. not know what “the Twitter” is.

Have you seen this SNL skit? It’s just perfect for those of us with zero MI.

Like hell I’m going to be one of the people surviving the Prepper Revolution.

Sometimes I wonder if this is a case of “The lady doth protest too much, methinks.” I mean, those of my friends who have kids and love being parents NEVER question me about my choice to remain deeply single. They’re happy, they know I’m happy, and all is well. It seems as if the ones who get all nasty don’t really…

Yeah, it always tickles me when I tell people I have 5 older brothers and they say “Wow, I’ll bet they spoiled the heck out of you!” Yeah nah, it was more like living the “He-Man Woman Haters Club” episode from Our Gang. The upside? My bros all got married, started families, and I became the Cool Aunt. Was/is LOTS of…

Imagine geese and seagulls snapping fingers and honking eaat ch other!

Honestly, it’s made life so much easier. It took me half a century to get here but I’m telling ya, now that I’m a full-time resident I’m not leaving! And I would love to see you here some day!

I think men think women are stupid, period.

I’ve come to realize that a situation that leads to a firing is never just an isolated incident that’s totes innocent, just really misconstrued. NEVER.

BANZAI! I’LL-A SEE YOU IN-A HELL!

This is a long one, and I’ve only used it once, but it was glorious. Some dude gave an unsolicited, shitty opinion, and I said “You know, I must be getting old. Not only do I not remember asking for your opinion, I don’t remember why I’d give a shit about what you think in the first place.” His mouth opened and closed…

Take your star, you magnificent bastard.

Lol south jersey is so fucking racist. She didn’t learn anything new in Alabama.

A good thing to see after reading/hearing all of these brave, gruesome statements:

Ah, that’s an interpretation I can live with. I remember loving BN when it came out, especially how flawed and altogether human the characters were, and I guess I just wanted Aaron to be better than he was able to be. We all have our limits and honestly, I don’t think I’d want to hang out with any of those characters…

It pains me to say it, but Broadcast News doesn’t shine as brightly any more for me. Aaron’s “You really blew the lid off nookie” reaction to the piece on date rape, and his absolutely shitty way of dealing with the fact that Jane doesn’t reciprocate his romantic feelings (friendzoned in the 80s! He should shit-talk…

Agreed on both counts. I watched Get Out on DVD and I can’t tell you how many times I yelled at the screen, which I only do during horror movies. While all slasher films are horror films, not all horror films are slasher films.

I think you have confused right and left brain above.

More like “gasoline and an open flame” but yeah, I take your point.

First, I have to say—the posts for this article are wonderful. There’s so much passion and thought put into them, and I feel as if I’m reading a really good collection of essays. So thanks for the early Christmas present!
