Yeah, it’s funny - a lot of my friends and family said that to me right when the Wicked musical came out. It’s called aquagenic uticaria. BOOOOOO

I also react to my own sweat and in most water - ocean, pool, shower, whatever. It’s not the chemicals in the water, it’s the H2O itself.

A star’s just not really enough for this comment.

Yes, it’s a lot to do with an ingrained sense of entitlement. Warped.

Barista: person whom *the creep in question* sees every day. Maybe they come at the same time, too, so they usually see the same barista, because work schedules. But they don’t have enough social awareness to realize that the barista sees so so many other people that are not The Creep.

About what you would think. Some are good, some are bad, but the same song over and over does eventually get old... :-)

Hell, early voting has started in some places. Some people have already voted for Trump.

Doesn’t even have to be traumatic necessarily - a lifetime of being brought up to believe that sex is bad, will make you a bad person, and should be avoided unless *babies* has got to be hard to shake. And from there you can see where it might get twisted into the crazy idea that only whores can/do enjoy intimacy or…

Agreed! Why bother having a studio audience if you just want them to be silent?

Why is Hillary the only one with a lavalier mic? Odd in light of microphone complaints from last time.

Just realized he was *lining up* to answer this question
