Are you serious? I hope you're not serious. How can one even separate quality and content in a comedic context? By quality, do you mean delivery? Because the quality of a comedic act relies directly on its content AND delivery; if one sucks (content, in this case), quality is correspondingly low.

I think you're right about that. The SROs at my (small-town) high school and junior high were always really nice guys (it might be a lady now? I forget) who were well-respected members of the larger community. It always seemed to me that they worked with the principals and the counseling staff for a more comprehensive…

Try being the MA or PhD'd person...that shit is depressing as fuck.

Yeah, what's the deal with that? My lady name is Dwanna, but I was going to be Steven Michael if I were a boy. ????????? That disparity makes no. sense. to me.

...I'm pretty sure that Kids These Days are not the target demographic of this song. Boom boxes? Radiohead? Skateboards? Do they even know what these things are?

I think it's even older than that! Is it a southern thing? My good friend grew up in Maryland where her dad was THE jeweler in a smallish town. She told me that his shop started being a lot less profitable after all the doctors had passed the baby-having stage, during which they bought gifts for their wives…

Ugh, doesn't it suck when you can't find the variety you like? It's really hard to get Italian Pinot Bianco in the States, so I snatch it up regardless of brand if I find it.

Omg omg omg, guys! I was babysitting in a different neighborhood last week, and my charge and I discovered a FLOPPY EARED BUNNY GONE WILD. Laura, I would put him forth as evidence that maaaaaybe wild bunnies are not the most magical bunnies (but definitely a close second!!).

I was looking at the pic while reading your comment, and before I got to the second sentence I was like, "HELL no, that is no wild bunny, A.W." But then I read the rest. Side note: doesn't that jackrabbit look totally soulless? Hares of all varieties are distinctively less cute than bunnies.

And then they're there forever, a constant reminder of being too lazy or forgetful to apply sunscreen. I feel you. Le sigh.

I agree with T-Bataar. Freckles generally are fine, but I work outside in the summer (archaeology) and cover myself more than most—including high SPF face sunscreen and a big, fugly, floppy hat. I spend so much time and effort looking like a jackass so that I *don't* get prematurely leathery like most archaeologists,…

Mine has two. Isn't it the most absurd contradiction?

I very briefly flirted with tanning when I lived in Hungary, where everyone, their mother, and their daughter tans. I let vanity get the best of me because I was going to an early May Arizona wedding after living in the sunless winter of central Europe, so I decided to go tanning.

Yes, I knew there was another half to that, but didn't have time to check it. Thanks!

Sometimes? In the case of pelvic exams, sure, but there are a lot of routine check-ups that use radiation. Radiation changes cell structure, and if you go in for lots of "preventative" procedures that dose you with radiation...well, there is certainly a case to be made that it might be causing more harm than good.

Seriously, let's talk about the real issue here: alcohol and guns DO NOT MIX, EVER. What the shit?! I am such a clumsy drunk, I would instantly blow a hole in something unintentionally, and I'm certainly not the only one. FFS. Someone is not a responsible gun owner if he/she is getting tanked and then playing with…

True story. I grew up in a similar situation: plenty of guns, but none of them were toys and we were told that every single one of them was always loaded and needed to be treated as such (turns out this wasn't true, but it certainly worked!). I am currently a gun owner (just one, a gift from my dad; I doubt I would…

I grew up in AZ, where I only ever heard "conniption fit." Bitchin' word.

Personally, I think someone in Alaska (or wherever she is now?) is being Miss Pouty Pants because she didn't get invited. That, or one of her high school daughters commandeered her Twitter, because this displays all the mean-girl markers: calling the smart kids nerds and begrudging them their good time; saying…

I see someone suggested Google Books. You might also try another full-text site like Hathi Trust (hathitrust.org). I think you can do some preliminary searching there, and even more if you belong to a university that subscribes.
