My friend worked with a guy that is an amputee who went as the lamp from A Christmas Story - had a huge lampshade over his whole upper body and everything.

Women like big bananas.

Come to our local Bi-mon-sci-fi-con and see!

And Merchant too, judging by the lead photo there.

Context. In the arts (music, film, art) the meaning and importance is largely derived from being tied to the time period in which it occurred. Marilyn Monroe has a different context now, in 2016. We know the history of cinema and can see, from a farther distance, her place in history. Sex symbol, yes, but one who we…

His bit long ago about the guy eating flapjacks out of a plastic bag on the airplane is one of the funniest bits i've heard in stand up. It's right up there with Patton's KFC bowls.

I watched that 9/11 doc by..i think…the History Channel? All it was was footage (without commentary) shot live by people and first responders. It was breathtaking, showing the reactions of people live as it all happened, but what particularly stuck with me was the sound recording of a dispatcher to the teams of…

Related - I was talking with a coworker from Ireland and she was telling me of her friend's father who was a train engineer/driver. He would travel under this particular overpass that sometimes people would commit suicide off of - several times the bodies would hit the front of the train and he would have to go on a…

I have a Christmas t shirt i bought from a street art…thing about 10 years ago. It features a front on Santa head with 3 eyes and two noses. I wear this every year at work Christmas parties and on Christmas Day. Usually no one notices until they take a closer look. I now work in a more corporate environment and the…

This *is* great advice.

This kind of guy (at any age range) makes online dating *really* gross for the women.

I just recently re-watched High Fidelity - last saw it about the time it came out and i remember finding it entertaining.
It is really obvious to me now how awful he is. He really doesn't change that much and is stuck in some self pity loop where his ego won't let him change and then he wonders why he's so miserable.

Here in Ontario they recently put in place an overhauled sex ed curriculum, in order to address consent, internet/privacy issues and sex, LGBT stuff, etc.

The Robber Bride is the best book i've read about women on women manipulation.

They use a theramin in the Beach Boys song 'Good Vibrations' too!

That makes the story like 75% less funny, though :(

The Atlantic has, to me anyway, the dubious distinction of being the absolute worst comment section of an otherwise pretty good site and i have no idea how it happened.
Any article regarding women's rights or immigration with a comment section should be entirely avoided at all costs.

I love Icelandic Air - worth the stopover to the UK from North America every time. Great entertainment selection too (they gave out individual PS3s loaded with movies/games).

Random (and sure you know this), but Loni Anderson is actually Louie Anderson's sister.

The irritating thing, though, is this idea that certain people are a 'trend' - implicating that actual people who aren't,say, white and male, are merely a vague passing fancy, different from the steadfast, true, 'standard'.
