Me want to see Kermit host Oscars, and Electric Mayhem perform Best Song nominees. Tell me Kermit not do better job than whatever Jimmy they throw up there next year.

That thing that too many people are missing. It not about coasts vs. middle America. It about diverse, welcoming communities vs. homogenous, isolating ones. And you can find both in any part of country.

Me know we all joking around, but this is really it. When me was growing up on Monster Island, pretty much everybody was Monster-American. Me had one black neighbor, and he eventually moved away because he was sick of being profiled by cops. So it pretty easy for old neighbors who still live in that town to stereotype…

One thing that struck me about Portland, apart from how white it was, was how evenly split between stereotypical hipsters and stereotypical rednecks it was. Guy with trucker hat and cheap beer would approach you, and you only had moments to parse whether his facial hair ironic or sincere.

Purer Niece IBS ?

Honestly, me would watch that over stupid Wal-Mart receipt movie thing.

A.V. Club…

Sorry to be that monster, but *losing*. Loosing is what you do to belt after eating big plate of cookies.

Me just remember they ended with "Fight Power," song from movie by black director that was one of biggest Oscar snubs in history. Way to twist knife, Academy!

Let's not forget all that McDonalds he make Chris Christie fetch for him.

Yeah, if anyone deserve lifetime pass, it Jackie Chan.

Give Mike Pence few more months…

Really? Me had heard people stopped going to work during Missile Crisis because they assumed they'd be dead in few days so why bother?

Let me amend that. They not trust anyone, but everything they hear on Fox News or read on USAConspiracyPatriot.ru is unassailable truth.

Me also think it somewhat absurd to use clock that only go from 11:43 to 12:00. Were we really 2.36% of way to annihilation in 1993? Me feel like clock loses some of bite as dire warning if it set to "dire warning" no matter what circumstances are. It like Bush-era terror alert system where colors are red and dark red.

Atomic Clock handlers enjoy human suffering? That not divorced from reality at all!

Ugh, that sucks. But you making right move. Either she separated but still letting husband have way to much involvement, or she not actually separated and got caught cheating. Either way, that pretty good time to walk away.

You not want to know what "turtle shells" is euphemism for.

Her family confronted her? Not just ex- (or soon-to-be-ex) husband? Me feel like big part of splitting up with someone means it not up to them who you make out with. And if her family have to all get together to confront her, she may not be as separated as you (or even she) think.

Me have one question. You say you not terribly close to sister, but then you also say you not want to change dynamic of family (which, presumably mean sister and your parents) all going out together. So me not sure which is case here. You go out with family often but just not get along with one of them? Me feel like…
