I have some rules about deciding to go to a festival. On one hand, I really like music festivals as an economically efficient way to knock a bunch of bands off my bucket list. For example, I’m going to RiotFest in Chicago. There’s 6 or 7 bands I want to see on each day. Tickets are now about $200 for a 3-day pass. If…

I’m super protective of my pibble and sometimes I won’t even let her play with another dog when it’s clear from her body language that she really WANTS to play. If the other owner shows the slightest hesitation, I just pull her back and walk the other way.

Beauties!

Close. Pit bulls were bred for baiting bulls. The fighting came later. Before the fighting and after the farm-dog role, they were also known as nanny dogs.

The girl is 14. Appears intoxicated?

Okay, but you have to understand a bit about mormon culture here. On the first Sunday of each month, there’s a special meeting called “Fast & Testimony Meeting.” It’s held whenever the normal Sunday service (called “Sacrament Meeting”) is held, only there aren’t assigned speakers as usual.

Men, let’s review, one. more. time.

I love King Missile. Thanks for reminding me about that song.

This is because I saw most of the first season of The Knick, in which there’s a plot point where the doctor’s exGF turns up wearing a mask because syphilis has rotted her nose off. The Doc…

“Some interpreted “Housequake” as a pointed response to the wave of house music coming out of Chicago”

Okay, so all y’all do realize that Maher had a show called Politically Incorrect, right? He practically invented being politically incorrect. I fail to see why anyone is surprised to hear this coming out of his mouth. Also, why does nobody lose their goddamn mind every time Maher says something ugly-sexist? He does…

“& yes, I know about domestic violence, intimately”

Fuck him; he should have thought about the potential dangers and leaving his children fatherless before he chose to hunt elephants.

Yeah, I don’t understand the crying. Sure, however her foot got cut, I bet that hurt. But crying? I don’t know. I guess everyone reacts to pain differently, but I don’t cry. I’ll curse like a sailor and then retreat back to my usual stoic self.

Right there with you. I’m waiting until the entire series is up, then I’m taking the free 30-day trial of Hulu, binge watching and then canceling that shit.
