I read something once abut how abstinence-only education doesn’t work and what happens when the people that are gung-ho for it find a family member or friend who becomes pregnant “out of wedlock.” The woman is no longer shamed and shunned and sent off somewhere secret to have the baby and quietly put it up for…

The one-ear-up/one-ear-down look is the best look on a dog. Your dog plays to her strengths!

Also, that photo: Is it a remake of The Attack of the 50 Foot Woman? Do you see those men on the escalator to the right? How in the world can you get a camera to do perspective like that?

PURRRRR-fect.

What I can’t ignore is the head ‘n shoulders ratio. It’s like an adult man’s head was ‘shopped onto the body of a 12-year-old.

Maybe Rachel Dolezal helped hm out with it?

When I inadvertently log out and my burner key is nowhere to be found Stepford Bunny will be my new username, just to give you all a heads-up.

I like the search radius: 100 miles. “Yes, things have gotten that desperate, I will travel 100 miles.”

They used to run her column on the front page of the Observer. My friends and I (we all had free subscriptions; I think everyone did in the beginning) used to call each other or convene and read aloud our “favorite” lines. We all assumed Bushnell was sleeping with Arthur Carter because why else waste so much precious…

And I’d give you an extra star for your username.

A friend of mine went to Catholic high school and studied Latin for years. He had a teacher with a pretty good sense of humor. He made them all read the story of the founding of Rome (Romulus and Remus suckled by the she-wolf and fed by a woodpecker) and then directly made them read Genesis in Latin. He could get away…

Have you ever read Dwight Macdonald’s “Updating the Bible” from 1953? It is hilarious. The King James had been “updated” several times and in 1953 came a new version. He’s probably one of the most curmudgeonly writers who ever lived.

The King James Bible is taught as literature. It is really beautifully written and very moving in passages. I personally believe it’s a bunch of fairy tales and mangled social history but it’s a beautiful piece of work.

Sodomite is another good one, but I prefer “invert.” IIRC “invert” came not from the Bible but from the Jurassic swamp that was proto-psychology. As a gay man I now have to go to my fainting couch and take laudunum to deal with my hysteria.

It’s Glastonbury. Imagine a Woodstock/Burning Man/Coachella that never ended. The circle drumming witch and her “lodgers” are probably cool and mellow; the victim probably went on a bad trip in 1991 and never came back. What any of these people do for money is a question only God Himself and the Inland Revenue can…

Off-topic, as always, but have you ever seen the Massachusetts state flag?

The South was largely agrarian to the point of being feudal (the plantation system would not have looked out of place in 14th century England, except for the color of the serfs/slaves) and heavily dependent on exports of cotton to feed the mills in England. The North had things like real research universities, tons of…

Get Meryl Streep to do it. She can play literally anybody.

I would have hyphenated tailor-made in this instance. You should be ashamed of yourself.

No, sadly, no three-week motocross tour of NZ for me. That’s what made it even funnier.
