I used to...let’s say “date”...one of his musicians, 5 or 6 years ago.
He was already pretty famous in Toronto at least, and he went by Abel (AH-bel) upon introduction and in conversation.
ANECDOTE:I found him mumbly, except for occasional words he would stress and then overpronounce. I liked how he talked. You wanted…

Heh, I always wonder that about people with stage names. Like I read an article about how all of Kid Rock’s friends call him Bob because he is Robert and I had not given much thought to it before...but now I always wonder.

They weren’t Abel to make it work.

I’m not particularly surprised, but I’m also not going to go out of my way not to return snark with snark. I scroll past comments I disagree with, or I engage if I want to debate. There was no room for debate in scolding my “attitude” or implying I’m somehow unaware that people like different things, then posting a…

Yeah, but doesn’t your iPhone get all wet?

“He has changed a lot in the past few months.”

Well, I guess her Weeknd’s free...

63,000,000 people saw a candidate brag about sexual assault on a video tape and still voted for him. At this point, nothing surprises me.

“Is your vagina shaved?,”

There have always been stories about female producers and assistants on The Bachelor franchise shows being harassed by male contestants. And who are these idiots on the show who don’t know what a vagina is? It’s on the INSIDE.

Who amongst us hasn’t dismembered a body?

Anybody who watches The Bachelor/Bachelor in Paradise should be legally obligated to also watch Season 1 of UnReal to find out how much fucked up shit goes on behind the scenes of a show like that.

“How many times, as a driver, do you come to a complete, and I mean complete, stop?”

Cyclist: “I may be on a bicycle but i have every right to share the road with you!”

Motorist: “Correct, now start following the goddamn laws. Stop at lights/signs, signal lane changes, etc.”

Cyclist: “I have to conserve momentum!”

Motorist: “Fuck you, you’re on a bicycle for exercise, changing your momentum is good for…

Other countries manage to have free societies while restricting public displays of Nazism. Of course, other countries manage to remain free and peaceful while restricting access to firearms, too. If the guns aren’t keeping the Nazis in check, I say we get rid of both of them.

How about we do a test to see if the firearm is able to shoot bullets? And if it is, it is banned. If no one does the test, it is banned. Seems like a fair trade.

You can’t grow gummi bears but you can grow gummiberries and then you make that into juice and the bears will come. But it has a tendency to attract ogres and dragons too.

I don’t have even the foggiest clue what conditions are best for planting a gummi bear tree.

I’m gonna fanwank a bit and speculate that it might not even occur to Jamie to wonder about those things. He’s from a time when, if a daughter moved away from her parents at 17 to marry, she might never have seen them again. Even if he’s sure that Bree hasn’t gotten married, the idea of a parent being beholden to a…
