Oh yeah, I’m not arguing about whether it’s okay to have either! I just always found it funny that people were very serious about the logic that it was okay because Japanese women would starve if they couldn’t eat sushi.

Cup Noodles, duh!

I loved the people who insisted you could have wine “because what do you think French women do?” and that I could have sushi “because what do you think the women in Japan do?” as if the only things available to drink in France or to eat in Japan were wine and sushi. It’s so amazingly stupid and yet I swear I heard it…

Probably because nobody wanted to deal with Lorelai’s hair!

But then sometimes she would have these perfect, blown out wavy layers! Someone needs to take Lorelai’s straight iron away.

Yessssss. It was such a bad flat iron job and it made her hair look cheap and fried.

My beef was with Lorelai’s hair. Not only did it completely change from one episode to the next (length, color, texture) but she either looked amazing or awful. Let Lauren Graham bring along whoever was styling her hair on Parenthood!

Oh, same. My problem stems from being too visually sensitive. I really can’t unsee anything I see, and those things haunt me more than I can deal with. I hate it because it stops me from seeing some movies and such that I really think I’d enjoy (I would kill for a PG-13 edit of Game of Thrones). Even when I used to…

Any show that has a character named Chardonnay who struggles with depression after her breast implants accidentally catch fire deserves a remake or a reboot or whatever they’re calling it these days.

Yes, because otherwise why would they be living in Cheshire?

No Coleen Rooney, no party.

Yep, exactly. As soon as that lice letter comes home, I try to go as long as possible without shampooing them and the hair goes to school in ponytails and braids errrryday.

I also went to FSU. My sorority house was a few doors down , but I had several very good friends (and sometime roommates) at Chi O. So that nobody would be freaked out living in the house they insisted that the entire inside had been gutted and remodeled so that nobody really had “THAT” room. But there was a lot of…

I believe the finding was that certain regional Southern accents are the closest to what was *then* the English accent. The theory is that certain factions of English society then started using what is now Received Pronunciation to signify their upward mobility and differentiate themselves, which of course everyone…

He saw an opening and cynically jumped on the Tea Party train in order to get the funds and backing to get elected (most of his positions at the State level wouldn’t have passed their litmus test prior to that). But the TP is not happy that he (surprise!) hasn’t toed their line since, so he would have a harder time…

Every now and then there is a show that really, really needs to be seen with the original cast, and I have a feeling this is one. I usually just wait patiently for the touring company, but I really, really wish I could get to NY for this.

It’s different than everything else out there and also it’s really, really good. Remember when Rent premiered and everyone’s mind was blown (or am I just old)? It’s like that, but for now. And I say this as someone who has only had the chance to listen to the soundtrack (repeatedly), but is trying to figure out how to…

Because some of us live in places where it doesn’t dip below 80 degrees in the “Fall” but we’re sick of wearing our summer clothes?

The unintended consequence of Kidz Bop and the Radio Disney versions of pop songs is that by changing the lyrics to songs kids already know (and whose meaning probably went right over the kids’ heads), they are pointing out to these same kids exactly where the potentially inappropriate lyrics are, which they then look…

I couldn’t agree more. My kid always picks a huge pack of G2’s for school and I think they are awful. I figured it was her middle school self not knowing any better and had no idea they were so popular.
