You know that thing where you just sort laugh hysterically because otherwise you would cry and/or throw things? Yeah.

Basically yes, Lovely, right? Any sexual behavior that occurs outside of marriage, with all the "fruitfulness" that that implies (I just gagged a little), is considered to be a grave moral disorder, or basically, not ok with the magic men in the funny hats. Any sexual behavior that is contrary to the "purpose" of…

Dr. Seuss does not approve. (For realsies. He did not approve. Neither does his widow.)

I don't think the Vatican ever declared that. There are some Catholic theologians who don't consider it a sin. And I think the Vatican has acknowledged that masturbation is considered a normal phenomenon during sexual maturation, but they still consider it an immoral act. You know, because of the whole no babies thing.

Double reeds unite! I played the bassoon in high school and college. I wish I owned one—I miss it! But damn. Way too pricey to just buy one for fun.

I am always amused that a group of adult males that have forsworn future sexual activity think that they are qualified to speak on the subject at all.

Nope, catch myself looking a lot. I don't mean to. They're just...there? I have very tiny boobs, so maybe that's why I find them fascinating.

I love Bender! He's my role model for depravity. Good-hearted depravity, of course.

Yep, that's really all we need. We have a lot of girls that are great at 2 or even 3 events, but one more all arounder would be super beneficial. I love Wieber, but her bars are just...sigh. Fine. Serviceable. But not very outstanding. And as for Raisman—I do like her, I think she's solid, but there are times that her…

Seriously, the Congress is so bollixed up that they couldn't pass gas if you fed them nothing but cauliflower and methane-flavored kidney beans, let alone mustering enough bipartisan votes to get the two thirds of both houses.

That's so f-ing condescending. So we're supposed to pretend that his campaign hasn't focused on these shiny, distracting social issues before? That he didn't pass out pro-life, pro-marriage, pro-family flyers? That he hasn't claimed that Obama is "assaulting" marriage? That he hasn't pledged to defund Planned…

I don't think it's from lack of development, but rather inherent physiological differences between young and old gymnasts. Younger gymnasts are smaller, so it can be easier for them to tumble and twist (lower center of gravity, etc.). They have fewer injuries that have built up over their career, and bounce back from…

I hate that we're down to 5 members. Bah. But that's pretty much my team too. It's got pretty good depth. I'd like to see Ross named to the team with Liukin as an alternate, personally, but would be happy either way. I will eat my hat if, for some inexplicable reason, they leave Gabby off the team.

I know, I noticed that all too. It does smell kind of icky. To be fair, I don't think she's the one setting the publication date for her book, but rather the publisher. So between their PR and her PR, they probably wanted as much publicity as possible for this. There are a lot of people that have to gain from her book…

Oh, yes, no, I don't doubt that. She rocked them. But she's hasn't competed them for what...three years now? So I just want to see how they shape up in 2012. From what I understand, her start value is going to be nearly 7.0, which is awesome. Can't wait to see it.

I think she sort of semi-retired post-2008 Olympics, actually, and took a couple of years (did Dancing with the Stars, etc.) It was the knee injury in 2010 that spurred her comeback to gymnastics.

I think I need to see a full bars routine from her in competition before I can make up my mind. From what I understand of podium training, all the skills are back, and she pretty much always has the mental game well within her control. So I'll be excited to see what she brings to Visas. And I love Gabby Douglas's…

Nastia's trying to make a comeback. She competed beam at the Secret Classic a week ago, and she also has bars, but didn't compete them. I can't decide if she'll make the team or not. I think it really depends on her bars as compared to other UB specialists.

There are actually lots of really good younger girls. Nastia Liukin is also going to try again. Gabby Douglas is fantastic on bars when she hits, and her mental strength seems to be much better than it was last year. Jordyn Wieber is a powerhouse and might be the USA's only real chance for an all around title. I also…

To the other point, many people use the fact that science, by its very nature, cannot prove or disprove the existence of a god, AS proof that their god exists. Neither side is right.
