“Articulate” is probably one of the top 5 most common compliments I’ve received over the years.

People can never seem to pronounce my name right. It’s like they see a “y” and their brain shorts out.

I keep hearing/reading people knocking the whole amber teething necklace thing and as a non-reproducer have not quite understood the hate...

This may be one of my favorite comments I’ve read and is relevant to many many posts on this site.

I think I’d love to see a wedding party copy *this* video, move for move, though.

“Somewhat misleading” is being *extremely* generous and your comment is phrased way more diplomatically than the way I would have said it.

I hate the face sweat!

That’s a bit different than just making some jokes while operating.

Couldn’t agree more!

That’s actually one of my biggest problems with this piece.

I initially read it as being by someone who believes referring to someone as a “cracker” is as offensive to whites as using the n-word is, and is just dumb enough to not realize the name refers to the actual food.

What bugs me the most about this stuff is the parents who take it personally when kids aren’t invited.

I’m pretty sure dolphins have been known to gang rape other dolphins - for fun, not procreation.

Now I’m picturing the opening scenes from “Up!”; only viewing all the photos and memories through the letter writer’s eyes and with the albums having annotations of all the excuses he told her - like “grad school Big Brother/Big Sister promo shoot”.

Agreed, but on the other hand some restaurants provide detailed descriptions of their dishes (fake example dish: a rice noodle, tossed with sesame oil, garlic, ginger, carrots and snow peas, and topped with toasted sesame seeds), so asking what’s in it seems redundant - until it arrives with peanuts tossed in as well.

I don’t know if I’d go that far, but I think I would have turned around and landed a lot sooner than they did.

I know, right?

Seriously. My cat has barely left my bedroom since I got a new housemate.

And who knew such tiny balls could have such a noticeable smell?

First, a big hug to you! (Sorry for the long response....)
