Confused. To drive? To eat? To remove flies from his windshield?

A star is not enough. A Commendation for Excellent Use of the English language is in order.

I love this story, but it's just damaging for me to think of John Boehner doing this.

I'm sure you looked very pretty.

Reading this reminds me of things I'd forgotten about from that time in my life. You definitely "win" in the awful former MIL department, but I'm still so very happy to be divorced.

Advice I gave a friend that he appreciated, while he was overwhelmed trying to coordinate everything:

Very glad you're ok, that's a pretty scary experience. I know you probably didn't want to spend much time talking to him but I hope you communicated that to the doc who (mis)treated you so he doesn't end up killing someone with the same problem.

Not a dumb question. Yes, it's been used, seems to have some efficacy, even in women on antidepressants, though as mentioned upstream, libido is tricky.

Neologisms so good they're megacathartic.

You probably eat the choke and throw the hearts away.

Good, more for the rest of us who know what "good" is.

On being in a chemical-free environment (http://xkcd.com/669/):

I dunno about murdering her enemies. I think it's too much like lingerie, it's something I'd enjoy more than she would.

From the wiki on beauty, on the etymology of beauty:

I doubt he or she is stating evolution is bullshit, just your understanding of it. Humans often mate for life, in many cultures. Standards of beauty vary hugely throughout cultures and history.
