Reminds me of another mediocre show a friend shared on Facebook. This time from the annals of 90’s talkshow history.

in my comparative religions class in high school we spent 90% of the class watching little mosque on the prairie

What influence does LeBron James have over a prosecutor and a grand jury? Your response makes no sense.

This might be some sort of superstition or old wives tale, but I’ve heard a few people talk about situations in which their loved ones are ill and they know they’re about to die, so they kind of make it a point to “fight” harder to stay alive through the holidays so they can spend those last special days with their…

Because 20 million people watch it.

Charleston has a museum in the very building of the city’s slave mart, which is itself dedicated to the city’s history of human trafficking. And further, a number of the old plantations around the low country have been converted into museum spaces, which include preserved slave huts.

That’s not a “disturbingly real” version of the song, it’s a rather outlandish satire based on how 40s language sounds to modern ears. It’s funny because it’s over-the-top. Frank Loesser wasn’t writing about duct-taping and raping his wife, of course, but the idiom is a little archaic, and lends itself to exaggeration…

How is “a woman afraid of what society thinks eventually overcomes that fear and does what she wants” not an improvement over “a man roofies and rapes a woman who just wants to get home to her family”?

Someone on Twitter recently (I wish I could remember who) pointed out that, the way it was originally written and performed, what this song is really about is a woman who wants to buck social norms of propriety and stay with him but feels pressured to leave so she doesn’t suffer social consequences and stigma. And…

There are definitely more ridiculous start-up ideas in the world. I guess the main thing you’d have to get around is that the parents wouldn’t want a random person watching their kids. But everything else sounds fucking awesome. As a parent, I might use it. I mean, in a pinch.

One time while driving home from Florida we (me, wife and 4 year old daughter) were heading west on I-10 somewhere past Beaumont where there is basically nothing around. My daughter says “daddy I have to go #2” and of course, there is no place in sight. After 15 minutes or so she’s crying because she has to go so bad…

outside of Cyndi Lauper’s “She Bop” and Tweet’s “Oops Oh My” rarely has self-pleasure resounded so brightly

We’re not quite sure what Selena did to get arrested, but it was all for her latest music video, as Selena repeated the scene several times.

“The vast majority of Americans agree what Planned Parenthood is doing is wrong.”

Remember that time Mythbusters used sterile chips, sterile dip, a sterile room, and a medical professional to eliminate the variables of double dipping? Turns out the bacterial difference from the saliva is almost nill.

Each troop determines its own activities focus, so no, it isn’t hard at all. All they need is one parent to start a new troop.

Thank you for adding some context. That’s all important information to know. I’m still not convinced the master’s (ugh) tone-deafness amounts to a fire-able offense. But it’s true that I’m not familar with this kind of university role, since I went to a huge public university.

The tradition of calling them “masters” has nothing to do with slavery. It stems from medieval universities where teachers had the title master (Latin: magister) from the degree required to hold that post. The title came to Yale through the traditions of Oxford and Cambridge (both medieval foundations), which the…

Uh; this story is from early 2014 from the date on the linked article. I thought it sounded familiar, and thought “Hey are these guys STILL at it, assaulting female joggers?”, but no, it’s the story from Feb. 24/2014.
