I casually dated a guy for a few months who I think told many, many lies. I can't really remember most of them anymore. But the one that really stood out was a trip to "Scotland." He told me about this friend of his who lived there and how he was going to visit him. And he called me from "Scotland" and told me all…

"If there's any kind of consent involved it's not actually rape" isn't exactly accurate. For example, when the consent is given by someone who cannot consent, legally or morally. Like a third grader, or a mentally incapacitated person (such as someone with dementia). An eight-year-old cannot consent to sex, even if…

Nlmuexx, I also know someone who says he lost his virginity at 11 with his 17-year-old babysitter. Like the men you knew, my friend claims to be (and have been) thrilled with it.

Supervamp, an eight-year-old cannot consent to sex. Legally, an eight-year-old having sex with a teenager is rape. An eight-year-old, even if they agree to the sex, is not old enough to consent to sex. That's why there's the "legal age of consent" discussion. So, yes, it fits the actual discussion.

Doesn't MLB require someone to be on-deck? I can't find any specific rule in my very limited search. However, I've heard it mentioned in passing in games before that, by rule, teams need to send someone to the on-deck circle.

I'm in the Alex Pavlovic camp now. A few years ago, I definitely would have said Baggs. I just think that the Extra Baggs blog on the Merc site really worked well for him. I don't know if it's the format or the Merc's ability to hire great writers (probably both), but Pavlovic has taken over that space and now he's my…

TWD: I have to think some of the guest judges are a FOX thing. Like, they keep the network happy by adding whomever FOX wants. They certainly are making more curious decisions about the guests this season, though.

Phoblog, I agree about the "friends" thing rather than a relationship gone wrong. But, hey, friendship works with the piece, too. Maybe that really was the intent... very doubtful, but who knows.

Christina Applegate is a great judge. She gives really awesome feedback/notes and really seems to know what she's talking about.

You know, I don't think it's surprising that Mark and Chelsie are among the most successful SYTYCD alumni. That was just a really great performance.

I would love to try clothes on in the store!! It would make life SO much easier if I could figure out if something looks good on me or not before buying it (radical concept, right?). Shopping online is such a gamble: sizes aren't universal, you can't always tell if the style will work with your shape and it's freaking…

Furthermore, how are you supposed to know ahead of time what sort of wedding reception they will throw? Maybe they have BBQ at a fancy venue, or a crappy venue with $150/plate food. You never know what it'll be. It's not like you write your check as you sign the guest book.

I think the problem here is that you just don't think people should be upset that an asshole academic insults fat people on Twitter. That's your right, but it's also extremely narrow-minded and possibly selfish. Just because someone points out one thing is bad doesn't mean she thinks that other things are not bad, too.

Moffat's never even hired a female writer?

I've been on the trade side of the wine industry for 12+ years and none of these answers really fully satisfied me.
