As rundown as Utica may be, they still know how to make a mean steamed ham. 

Whatever she’s saying, I’m sure she’s right. 

I’m not defending Meghan McCain, I do not like the bitch, I just know that I’ve been in a literal kitchen (where the real talk happens at parties) with boomer-age conservative ladies and she’s come up. 

this is what people think all conservatives are now, and we are not.

Peck clearly doesn’t understand himself at all. He’s a middle aged, married gay man who still looks in the mirror and sees his 1990s self, and resents other gay men who don’t share his narrow worldview and tastes (or rather hates; he doesn’t like much beyond himself)

So it wasn’t homophobic, it was gate-keeping using in-group language and descriptions that most people wouldn’t recognize in context. That isn’t much better.

Thanks for articulating this in a way I couldn’t. Super cool to be felt like an outsider all of your life in the straight world, but even cooler to enter the gay community and then be derided because you’re not the “right type of gay”.

Peck’s column popped up in my newsfeed on Saturday and I read it all the way through. Within its text, one thing became clear to me (me: a 57 year old gay man who went through the early 90s in NY and LA - and all that meant, too): Peck is stuck in a time and place and suffering from arrested development.

It bears repeating that Hershey’s “Chocolate”® essentially goes through a forced spoilage process during manufacturing, which adds copious amounts of butyric acid (a chemical also found in vomit) to the final product, resulting in its signature “coying sweetness plus revolting sourness” taste. This has become so…

ANNA! OH MY GOD! THE FACE OF ELVIS IS IN YOUR SMORES! I AM YELLING BECAUSE THIS SHOULD BE YOUR STORY:

The first time I read this I thought it said Kanye West. And it wasn’t even the weirdest thing I had read about him this week. 

This is the much crappier version of Marilyn Monroe’s answer to what she slept in, and her answer was “Chanel 5.”

At least I actually believed Monroe’s answer.

Shin Godzilla owns

I’ll offer an addendum that one should absolutely give Shin Godzilla a shot after watching Evangelion. There’s a lot of NGE in there in a way that I absolutely adore.
