That look is dehydration. All of the contestants go to insane extremes just before the finale to dehydrate themselves as much as possible, because a few ounces could be the difference between $250,000 and losing it all. That's why her face looks so sunken and her body is so "sharp." She could easily have weighed 5…

Tell it to the snakes, you environmental terrorist.

Before you go, though, don't forget to praise me for my abolitionist ancestors, which is something I apparently get to feel awesomely self-congratulatory about despite the fact that it doesn't involve me at all.

Car repair. Unfortunately, it's not something you learn on the internet.

A fellow who was at the same party we attended asked what it was about. I said it was an engineering toy targeted to girls and he said, "Oh, Legos for girls. Boring." Nice example of the assumption that LEGO is for boys, I suppose.

Curious—do these kinds of things actually work for anyone? I find them funny for a day, maybe a week, and then it's just boring and I end up sending the app to the waste pile taking up valuable space on my drive. Is it just me? If they do work for you, is there some trick you use?

And I love it. I take breaks, sometimes longish ones, but I always come back. My entire guild migrated from the abandoned Everquest Mac server on day one and never looked back. I regret nothing.

My stepson is going on 17 and holy crow but the stench that permeates his room is unbearable. He showers at least once a day, but he's in there all the time pumping out those hormones through every pore. He's only here for two days a week, but that's enough to create a cloud that wafts out all week long. Once he…

"Selling the Aspiration" is definitely going on my list of band names. I'd meditate on the style of music we should play, but I'm not blonde.

I ran to YouTube after I saw your post—just love that loon. He was all over the place technically, but you could tell he loved to play to that crowd no matter what. Such a performer! He's probably selling Fiats now. :D

Thank you! I was trying to remember his name just today; his Three Musketeers routine at the Olympics in France was wonderful. I think it was the same year Paul Wylie came out of nowhere to take a medal with another great performance. That was a great Olympics.

I'm sorry you and your kids had such a bad time of it. We could sing a similar song here in Florida with my husband and his son, whose mother has custody despite mental instability. A previous poster said things were "different" now and that women aren't as much favored in the system, but our experience has shown…

I'm curious why you find their choice less powerful than Butch & Sundance's? B&S were doomed, so they decided to see if they could take a few with them. T&L decided to take themselves out of their own free will. How is a last-minute shoot-em-up murder spree the stronger ending?

Some years ago, when The Lord of the Rings films came out, there was a group of women online who created The Eowyn Challenge, in which one would walk from Hobbiton to Rivendell. There were landmarks/story moments along the way, as I recall. It was a pretty neat idea.

Absolutely. The more I think about it, the more it seems completely tone-deaf. Jimmy Fallon is the funny, smart, geeky, nerdy enthusiast who is so excited about everything. It helps explain his greater appeal to women (at least in my totally anecdotal world) over, say, Jimmy Kimmel. This attempt to dress him with sexy…

I don't understand the models in this photo at all. It looks like a horrible Photoshop, and Fallon looks so uncomfortable. What was Leibovitz thinking?

Awesome, thanks!

It looks like it's one of the statues at the Trocadero, across the river from the Eiffel Tower. It was built for one of the big expositions but I have no idea who the artists might have been. Might just have been anonymous artisans, honestly.

My sister-in-law videotaped our wedding. I have never watched it, have no desire to, and shudder at the idea of making others watch it. But there it sits on the shelf, ten years later, mocking us with its two-dimensional rendering of Our Precious Moment.
