I went the other way and thought Hammer was too young.  Isn’t Maxim supposed to be in his forties and world-weary?  James has rounded cheeks that make her look fairly childlike.

No one deserves to be Rebecca! *strikes match*

Awesome interview! Thank you Virginia and thank you Jez!

My husband and I had an experience like that. Looking to buy our first house, and the realtor took us to see a really attractive Colonial. Lots of windows, hardwood floors, wood burning fireplace (!), etc. It was the PERFECT house. Except it hated us, and it wanted us to leave, NOW. I remember vividly every detail of…

Gee, and I thought it was bad when two family friends on Facebook told me Johnny Depp's abusive behavior was okay because he "makes good movies"

Short but sweet.

Ok, I’ve been a reader of this thread for a few years now, every year I both love and loathe this thread because my morbid curiosity and inability to stop reading inevitably leaves me scared shitless for several days, and then I start the cycle all over again. This year, I want to submit my own.

I submitted this last year, too, because it is the best dang spooky thing that ever happened to me.

It was a running gag on SNL in the 90s. During Weekend Update, Tim Meadows played Ike Turner and would flip out on Kevin Nealon or attempt to bully him into doing something. Like, they would re-enact the “Eat the cake” moment from What’s Love Got to Do With it.

I mean, look at the Duggar girls. They were raised as conservatively as possible, believed that mindset, followed the “purity” rules... and when they were molested by their brother, they were essentially made to feel like it was their fault. Their brother was left alone. The Duggar are still regarded by many as the…

A few also lose this mindset when one of their daughters is assaulted, but many simply pay for the abortion they insist they’re against but this is an exception while having their husbands explain it was really Daughter’s fault and she should be grateful to have it hushed up.

Many many women, most of them white, genuinely believe that as long as they play by the Rules, it will never happen to them, and that everything awful only happened to Dr Ford because she made bad choices and/or got drunk and/or lied. They don’t want to upset the status quo; money and their male relatives’ power are…

Show me the innocent man whose life has been ruined. No, seriously. Because so far it’s men who when they’re finally found out, everyone kind of nods and goes “yeah, I can see it.” We all know who the creeps. Obama ain’t getting accused of sexual assault. More on point is that it’s not every S. Ct. nominee. Gorsach…

She risked everything to do her civic duty and we still ended up with a pervert on the Supreme Court. It was all for show to the republicans. Why didn’t they save her and her family this fear by simply telling her they really didn’t care what she had to say their minds were made up. I truly don't understand how any…

Also, send postcards as opposed to letters in envelopes - less security concerns that way.

And yet there are still people saying “but what about the man?” and “it’s hard to know who to believe, she seemed to have an agenda” and, just today, to my friend, on social media: “well very rich powerful men might get away with it, but all this is very frightening for normal men, because anyone could say anything…

Damn straight. My Swiss Army knife lives on my keychain.

I was reading more and read some horrible things.
