Good point, but I bet there are at least one or two rich kids on the team if they aren’t all too busy rowing or playing lacrosse or polo (yes, Harvard has a polo club).

I dig gender neutral names, always have, and more and more names seem to fit that description these days.

Waiting for a wealthy Harvard soccer mom to weigh in, “Bu-bu-but boys will be boys!”

When I said UC treats its employees well, I should’ve clarified “except adjuncts.” I know a lot of people who work as staff at my alma mater (many former newspaper colleagues) and they all like it.

That’s so cool. I’m an all-purpose writer and don’t cover sports, nor am I big-time like Frey was, but every once in a while I get an email from a young person (usually a teen or college student) and it totally makes my day. I always respond and answer questions. It’s emboldened me to reach out to those I admire, as…

I’ve worked for UC and they treat their employees well, but oh the administrative bloat.

You could tell she was something way back in 2003 when she was in Thirteen. I’m also intrigued by the fact that she was engaged at one point to Marilyn Manson.

Right? There’s a reason behind the expression “like trying to herd cats.”

I got one of my pups a wee coonskin cap, and a forest ranger hat for the other one (and a neckerchief with merit badges!). I think it would take an entire production team to keep said hats on their heads while snapping a photo. No success yet. :-(

Can we talk about the fact that UC regents apparently make around $400K a year? FUCK THIS GUY WITH A MEMORY FOAM MATTRESS.

Is mobile pay at every Starbucks? Thanks for the tip, I had no idea!

I frequent an indie coffee shop in my neighborhood, as the drip coffee is infinitely better, but sometimes Starbucks is the only option.

Seriously, I’m thinking about renting a commercial kitchen next year and cooking/freezing side dishes and baked goods to sell. I could make tasty greens and pumpkin/apple pie in my sleep!

I make the same dish for $6. I wonder if I could fool some rich Seattleites into buying my upscale greens. The occasional designer dog hair would be free of charge, natch.

I was educated on gun safety from a young age. That still didn’t stop me from fooling around with my dad’s guns, and maybe even emboldened me. I once cocked an unfamiliar gun and had to call my grandpa to help me decock it before my parents got home. I never went near them again, but that could’ve ended really badly.

My dad locked his guns up but by middle school, my brother and I knew how to unlock the safe, even though my dad didn’t know we knew. Fuck guns.

I’m also tall and not skinny. I remember in middle school we had to give a report about our ancestry and my family is from Wales. Every time I said “Wales,” a bunch of kids would snicker loudly. I look at pics of myself from that time and I was a bit chubby but the bullies made me think I was too disgusting for this…

It’s my favorite profanity, in long form or as vaffancul. I also am fond of Italian gestures, esp the one that corresponds to my username.

I wish I knew more about celeb stuff and current pop culture because it’s good conversation fodder. Sometimes there are mixed messages on this site — it’s cool to talk shit about her but not her. Also, I didn’t think your comment was a dig at all, I just wanted to clarify that I’m a fan of Amy’s, not a detractor, and…

Are those the kind HRC is always wearing?
