Yup. I’d love to be a fly on the wall of that meeting room tomorrow...

Which makes it even more horrifying when you remember that these were KIDS.

I’ve been a pass traveler, too, but I’ve seen this policy enacted in wildly different ways from site to site (and from agent to agent). If you’re going to have a policy, it shouldn’t be selectively applied, and a company should always be very careful not to criticize the apparel of younger children.

Y’all, I teach business writing, focusing on social media fuckups (someday, this phrase will appear on my CV). This is yet another example of a company trying to rely on policy in responding to bad PR without bothering to add any actual rationale for that policy. Hell, there is probably no real rationale for the…

Excellent list! I have had surprising amounts of success singing Neko Case’s “Magpie to the Morning” (other songs of hers work, too!) and Feist’s “1234" for my niece. My little dino has good taste :)

No one can resist my hot hot jam!

You are my kind of people. I also obtained all of my Dawson’s Creek knowledge from Don’t Trust the B. I miss that damn show.

I cosign this logic.

Also, the way the sentence is structured suggests that the sexual relationship is a child. (Singular “is” wouldn’t go with the plural “repercussions,” but with singular “relationship.”) Folksy, or just really fucking creepy?

I was maybe 11 when this came out. I bought it myself (on cassette!) and listened to it until the damn thing broke. I’ve only recently realized how formative this album was for me, and part of that’s because I was at a critical, barely pre-puberty age in an area that didn’t (and still doesn’t) believe in sex ed. I…

Fogeys unite! Before 9 pm, because bedtime is important.

Ugh, that makes no sense, and I hope you told everyone so. Walker would be terrible to have a beer with. He’s the guy who would get all sad bastard on one High Life and loudly wonder why you don’t love him when he’s such a Nice Guy. No one wants to have a beer with that guy.

I think I might be most offended by what they’ve done to my beloved Coke Zero. You leave my sweet, sweet caffeine out of your damn conservative culture war. I’ll happily pay my soda tax in Philly.

Hah! That was the first and only time I’d ever heard of him, too, and I listen to (some) indie. That’s it - I am officially an old, and I think I’m ok with it.

God, I love Fleetwood Mac. I got to see their reunion tour a few years back, and I fucking cried at the opening of “The Chain.” I love them so much my next dog is going to be named Stevie Nicks, and that’s mostly because I will never have a child I can name Stevie. Well, that’s if I can convince my husband that Stevie…

SO beautiful, even with the Seinfeldish mullet.

A friend of mine (who lives in TN) says it’s another poorly disguised attempt to discriminate against lesbian or gay couples using IVF/surrogates.

I also just realized you’ve been writing here for a couple of months, & I’ve missed the posts. My only excuse is that I’ve been sick since New Year’s, & I’m finally emerging. My excitement that you’re here still stands :)

TYNAN!

Seconding the e.l.f. scrub-in-a-tube. I have so much difficulty with the potted ones that I get lazy about lip exfoliation. Now that I can just swipe it on, it’s super-easy.
