States' rights to have slavery

Not a movie, but in real life: I was living in Brazil when Tom Brady won the Super Bowl (not the most recent time, but before that). The newspaper headlines, translated, said "Gisele Bunchon's husband wins 4th Superbowl." It was magnificent.

If I ate at a Hooters, I think I would be more weirded out by my waitress wearing her hair down than her ass hanging out. I have long hair, and in the years that I waited tables, I always pulled it back.

That's really interesting. When I lived in Brazil, Brazilians would always tell me that my name (Jennifer) was actually very common there, but I never met anyone with my name. Then someone finally confessed that I probably wouldn't in my neighborhood, because only people in the slums would name their kid after…

They fascinate me too. Most of my family is white, but one cousin is Latino and one is half black/half white (adoption is common in my family), and no one has ever commented on their very common names (Chris and Michael). Whenever anyone hears that my grandmother's name is LaDonna, though, I get the strangest looks…

You're probably right that many of the Dems giving now weren't really concerned about some of the less than great-outright terrible stuff that Obama did, and I hate when people support a team rather than a principle. That said, right now, I'll take any demonstrable good I can find, and the ACLU getting a lot of love…

It's only one anecdote in a much larger issue, but when my dad was illegally fired after being injured at work, it was his union that stepped in and made sure he was okay. He was able to get the health care he needed through my mom and the VA, but it was his union lawyer who got him his job back with back pay and…

He's in his 70s. That is a possibility.

Lions fans will accept your grudging support, even if it's only out of spite for a third of the NFC bracket. We'll take what we can get.

It's a bit tangential to rape denial specifically, but I read a wonderful piece a while back (I unfortunately can't remember the author) in which a man talked about his relationship with his wife. He loved his wife and trusted her completely, respected her as a person, considered himself a feminist, etc. He noticed,…

Lady Olenna even makes Dorne interesting.

How I visualize Jon and Sansa's "who had a shittier time"-off debate:
Riley: I hear you. Got big stories to tell you, too. We get half a sec, we can compare and contrast.
Buffy: Did you die?
Riley: No.
Buffy: I'm gonna win…

I experienced this first hand. I'm in my mid-thirties, and I frequently hook up with/date guys who are ten years younger than me. I was in an 18+ club one night and found myself drunkenly kissing an 18 year old. Even though he was of age and drinking in a club (I was in a country where the drinking age was 18), I was…

I am so glad I'm not the only one who was freaked out by My Girl as a kid. I'm allergic to bees, and after watching that scene, I had nightmares for months.
