YAY! :)

Good point. I should have noted that my preference is for the former.

First Real Job registries I could also get behind.

Yep. The before was way more attractive than the after.

It's not the cardigans. It's the fact that they are deliberately selected in the wrong size (too large) and often in unflattering colors. My evidence? Annie Edison! Always the correct size and always an attractive color for her.

But didn't you need stuff? Mugs, toaster, measuring spoons, kitchen trash can, etc. By the time you get married won't you not need stuff? Or at least, not the basics, which is originally the point of wedding gifts? And what if you don't get married? You don't ever get any household gifts en mass? Can I ask any more…

Nope. Points for persistence, though. #applause

I have long argued that the time to create gift registries is upon graduation from either high school or college - that milestone upon which kids leave their parents home, but basically don't own shit beyond some bedroom pieces and a few posters.

You miss both subtlety and the obvious, it would seem, so allow me to explain.

I already thanked you on President Carter's behalf for your impressive demonstration of copy and paste and your selfless willingness to school him on how Dictionary.com defines penal colony. I'm sure if he knew the trouble you've gone to on behalf of Literal Posters everywhere, he would be impressed.

But he can copy and paste from the dictionary! And successfully use the formatting options!

Yeah, I like how on an article about the weird juxtaposition about Gaza and T&A graffiti, some dude has declared himself the Dictionary Police and is schooling an ex-president through a dazzling display of copy and paste.

I'm pretty sure Nobel Peace Prize winning, Habitat for Humanity building, globe trotting humanitarian former U.S. president Carter knows not only what a penal colony is, but also how to describe things using analogies so people far away can better understand a humanitarian crisis.

That's how President Carter described it upon visiting and that's good enough for me.

Yep, nothing says, "Fuck those Palestinian families living in what amounts to a penal colony" quite like graffiti on women's asses and breast implants.

Thank you for posting this. I almost didn't click to read the responses. I was pretty sure the first post would be all about sex positive happy hookers and how cranky old feminist prudes like me don't get that prostitution is just one more empowered choice available to women who love sex.

Agreed. Not every person can be your customer and it's a mistake to even think you can get every customer.

Whatever happened to the days when annoyed airport workers cursed over the intercoms, grabbed beers from the drink cart then deployed the emergency chute and slid off the plane that way? I miss Steven Slater.

Maybe the bartender saw a spider on the customer's face. That's how you kill spiders, right?

Is it? I was under the impression that hacking involved programming, not simply guessing, subterfuge, etc. Probably just something I read on the intertubes back in the day.
