@0kami: WOW. now I know what they will play in psychological torture chambers in the future.

@dearcoquette: ....side note I missed before I hit the little share-y button, though: girl's face in the last picture is TOTALLY reminiscent of mine every time I encounter a dumpling/ichiban/et al.

hmm. I would probably watch the hell out of this (because I like all reality television, unilaterally, even elimidate) but I'm wondering if this will re-ignite the argument that started when Jersey Shore premiered about whether putting people on display because of their nationality/heritage was in some way racist.…

I love this. especially cause now I know my own initials are Kilo Whiskey. aka SATURDAY NIGHT amirite?!

@TheUnicornQueen: ...I think it's a little unfair to compare how "appalled and pissed off" the public was about a largely unrelated incidence of violence to this one without providing context on the example you're bringing up. just because both parents killed their children doesn't mean the situations have anything…

@Sev: ....and if you post it on facebook, it's immediately the property of facebook even if you leave the site. Check your friendly neighborhood Scary Draconian Terms of Service.

@Imogen Quest: ahahahaha. At least he didn't say "that's my FAVORITE episode of wishbone!"

ohoh and a few more:

context is everything with this one:

@rah29: Was the bet just, like, "bet you won't do it" or "bet you can't make me think about vh1 reality starlettes puking on eachother at my climactic moment?" I am INTENSELY curious.

@MagImpalor is a god damn spy.: AHHH I used to work across the street from Veggie Bite when I was an intern at 826 and it was the absolute DEATH of me. SOSOSO good. Most vegan restaurants where I live now are awesome, but they're more of the don't-even-try-to-replace-it camp, which ends up...in a lot of defacto…

@paperispatient: Try Follow Your Heart! It's amazing, actually vegan (a lot of fake cheeses still have whey protein), actually melts and is just generally scrumptious. Not exactly like cheese, but wonderful in its own right. I really like the fake cheddar on quiches (I'm only semi-vegan, since I can get eggs from the…

@ShrutiBorus: read the above comments and mostly agree, but what I think you're objecting to is the use of the words "want to be in love with..." I personally identify as bisexual because I'm sexually attracted to women and men, but I've never fallen in love with woman and am not sure that's something I ever WILL do,…

@NefariousNewt: I live there, and he does. Gov. Richardson came in to the video store I work in once to buy a copy of Armageddon (really) and I heard one of his security goons talking about how "Harrison was in the car." True story!

@1girl: I think the comparing-yourself-to-a-female-friend experience is a pretty common one. I remember as a freshman in high school having an incredibly long, heated argument with my friends about how me and another friend (J) each though the other was thinner, while everyone else insisted that we were exactly the…

@finfin: ...and I'm sure a HUGE influx of teen girls will name their future spawn after it. not unlike how my generation's SATC fans gave birth to a THOUSAND Aidens.

oh and! not addressed in Hortense's questions, but when you're shopping for perfume, always test it on your skin before you buy it, not just on one of those paper strips. perfume smells different when it reacts to your skin oils then it does on a piece of paper, and sometimes it's drastically different.

the best advice I got from my mother was that no one should be able to smell your perfume until they're close enough to hug you. usually what that means is putting it mostly on pulse points that go under your clothes: spray one squirt on just one of wrists, then (in this order) put that wrist against your cleveage,…

@youthinkyouknow: THANK YOU. I literally could not watch this video without thinking about everywhere I've seen ALL of it before. Plus the chorus is straight up the bridge from Ace of Base's "Don't turn around."
