Jen, your doggy knowing who's good for you makes complete sense. I'd totally trust him.

@haguenite: Other categories included "Silver cheese carrier" and "Protein Trophy."

Guys, there was an "udder-champion" category (HILARIOUS), which is probably why the cow wasn't milked.

And then of course there's this. (Thank you, hortense, for linking to this.)

I have two friends who did research on how MSN affects the social lives of 8-15 year olds. Their conclusion: it strengthens ties they already have with some friends and facilitates creating new relationships.

Embrace your inner Cady, Linds! Reject Regina George!

@LAmonkeygirl: Summer "raves" in Europe are generally more like massive day(s) long dance events in the tradition of music festivals. Lots of stages, lots of mud, lots of tents, crappy toilets and food that'll give you the runs.

That's just sad all around. Sad that maybe he really loves this woman but just can't deal with sharing his life. Sad that maybe he wandered off, as a lot of elderly people tend to do. Because yes, that's the first thing I thought of. I hope he's okay.

One thing I learned about watching Aussie rules while I lived in Australia?

Ahem, I believe the term is "administrative assistant?"

MOOOOOM! I know you just texted me that you and stepdad visited Cambridge yesterday, but wasn't that enough?

@Her Grace: No. Fucking. WAY! That's the best news I've heard all day!

@lalaland13: Well, I think she's in some dire need of that shampoo, as you can see from this picture of Rapunzel and her prince in a Dutch theme park.

I always thought the experience of the Prince climbing up her hair would have to be an excruciating experience for Rapunzel. Or Raponsje, as I call her.

Reliable sources have informed me Miracle Whip is the devil's condiment.

I see Rihanna and an umbrella, and all I can think of are stale jokes about how the dude behind her can't stand under her umbrella-ella-ella-ey-ey-ey.

I have to say, I sort of understand where J.Lo-Hew is coming from. I took a sick day today and just finished watching Twilight (not for the first time) and boy, boy, boy, what I wouldn't do for a part that'd have Edward sniffing my hair.
