Would like a follow-up, if you can stomach it.

I agree with your final point, but child support can’t really be paid in advance like that - the dad’s financial situation may change, or Shepherd’s might, or the kid might end up having some extraordinary needs. So the support order could change.

“I’ve never seen a sequel that takes place twenty years after the original”?

It's the Law and Order effect. Everybody's an expert. :-)

Agreed - I am deep in a red state and I still thought Uggs were in. :-)

Sigh. I never said wealth wasn’t an advantage. You said, “A black guy with that much money would get the same treatment.” I disagreed. You are misstating my argument to make it easier to refute. If you think race is irrelevant in the justice system as long as people are rich, you are mistaken.

I’ve been a prosecutor. I know how it works. We don’t plead cases because they’re expensive, and juries are racist.

That's probably also how he felt about kissing her.

Can we just talk about how ridiculously high Elizabeth Banks’ heels are? That’s beyond fashion, beyond “I’m short,” beyond empowering, and into the realm of nonsensical. How can she walk? Are her knees perpetually bent? What if she gets held up or the building catches fire and she needs to run? People are going to…

True or false: young men can never make fancy hats work. Donald Sutherland, Samuel L. Jackson, Colin Firth - sure. Evan Ross, Harry Styles, Justin Bieber - no.

God, yes. I fundamentally hate hate HATE the practice of women selling useless crap to each other. God almighty. We are all capable of acquiring the goods we want. This is not the Middle Ages; we don’t need peddlers.

THANK YOU. Dude sounds like a middle-schooler who just found a thesaurus.

I ... thought you were talking about Danny Trejo’s mom.

You lead a rich inner life and I want to be a part of it.

I laughed until I cried. Omg. Your brother is a little punk with his practical jokes and his tie-dyed Bob Marley, and you can tell him I said so.

Your soon-to-be ex! I am pleased to be your internet friend during this trying time. Good luck, and I vote yes on a second cat.

Ew. That is craptacular.

I had a real issue with that episode of Sex and the City when Carrie stays at Aiden’s cabin in the country, and she can’t cook anyway and he has this antique stove but she somehow miraculously succeeds at making pie crust. I was all “... the fuuuuuck?”

Not even kidding, I read every word and liked it. :-)
