I used to go a a ballerina every Halloween so that I could have a natural boundary between me and everyone who tried to grope me. (tutu)

Also- it’s written by a former writer for Raising Hope and Bojack Horseman.

That would be both Thor and the guy from Magic Mike.

yeah.... I’m in a very happy relationship and I love my boyfriend but I can’t help feeling a little sad if it’s true? Which is super irrational- but at least my friends get it because when I told a friend that they were dating she sent me this:

I had this argument with my boyfriend. We live in New Orleans, in a fairly high-crime area and he wanted to get a gun for protection. I am absolutely, completely opposed to having one in the house. When he said he would keep it locked up and separate from the ammo I pointed out that it wouldn’t do anything in that…

^^^THIS^^^ I don’t object to people having guns for hunting (I’m iffy on self-defense just because statistically it’s not effective, but I understand the impulse). But not everyone in the country needs a gun and the requirements for getting one should be much more stringent- and involve intense safety training.

I’m in the middle of paying off a lot of debt and “I really can’t afford that right now” has become a refrain for me.

It was a weird situation. I was staying with my cousin, who was friends with all the guys in the house, but the reason she was friends with them is because one of the guys has been a friend of mine since grade school.

I don’t have a hard time believing this at all. I was visiting friends at college and we went to a party. I ended up crashing in the room of one of the guys. We’d been flirting, he was cute, we made out a little bit and then I was ready for sleep. He told me that I couldn’t go to sleep yet because he wanted a blow…

John Steinbeck:

So I was actually curious about this. There was apparently another bill passed at the same session that raised the threshold age for human trafficking from 18 to 21, so I’m guessing this is connected?

I think it’s definitely a “bigger fish to fry” situation.

I mean, she doesn’t really have to be.

OK- so I generally find Woody Allen a) sleazy and b) not that impressive- but I’m even more baffled by this new movie.

The local story is that they came in without reservations, were seated anyway, but warned that it would take a while to get food. According to the manager, they were pissed it took so long to get food and they were offered free drinks and comped appetizers. And then, after all that, she threw french fries at the…

You know, I think it’s not even that it’s horrifically unfunny, it’s not much worse than a lot of other sitcoms.

My parents divorced after twenty years and two kids and it was shockingly amicable, considering they’d spent the bulk of my childhood viciously bickering and then screaming at each other in the kitchen after we went to bed.

I agree with you.

yep. You’ve just fallen flat on your ass on national television. So you might as well lay there and reflect on your life choices for a few minutes.
