Yeah; as other commenters are indicating, she is likely a fairly normal mom for the Nordic countries in which there is a safety net and benefits of which Americans can only dream. We tend to forget that in many other countries, citizens do not live with the same extreme economic insecurity as we do: they have health…

Tie an inner tube to the back of a three wheeled ATV (back before those fuckers got banned for being so tippy) and let a mildly buzzed 17 year old drag you around a supposedly frozen lake and nearby snow covered field.

Eh, some foods are smellier than others. Meat is also smelly. I was on a plane with a person who brought chili dogs on with them. Don’t get me wrong, I love me some Varsity chili dogs, but that is inappropriate for plane consumption. As is cold cuts. As is Indian food. As is anything really garlicky. As is Chinese…

You’re being really presumptuous by assuming that this man is mentally ill. Some people are just plain weird, with no mental illness.

Counterpoint: I will take a quiet nightmare baby doll over a passenger (of any age) playing music/watching a movie/playing a game without head phones. ANY TIME.

You know it’s bad when “maybe he’s just smuggled a ton of cocaine” is the most comforting explanation for something.

My sister’s MIL at one point never failed to show up unless in the company of Michael- a large, homemade African American Cabbage Patch-style doll who dated from when my BIL was a tot. Michael would travel, strapped in, in the front seat of the car, wearing clothes that my MIL would then put on my nephews. She would…

The most upsetting thing about this story is that he brought a bunch of bananas to snack on in the plane. That smell would have made me hurl all over the place.

you say potatoe

Gary Johnson has both!
