people are avoiding marriage and children because fuck that noise. literally and figuratively.

F.Y.I.: This joke was originally from the 1947 movie "The Bachelor And The Bobby-Socker" staring Cary Grant, Myrna Loy and (a teen-aged) Shirley Temple. The first time they do the joke starts at about 1:40:

Yeah he 100% wrote that himself. I'll add my paycheck to your current bet. There is no way someone sane wrote that review.

I just, you know . . . I don't really *mind* that you're Indian. I'd just like to hear your explanation as to why it's necessary. Cause I'm not seeing it.

lol, there's a "buy now" button at the end of your post. NEVERRR

What the fuck did I just read??

"Reality slips like silk across a tender thigh, dipping in and out of wet shadows."

What in the fuck sort of a sentence is this? I hate it. Hate.

That's a pretty neat looking house, though.

Did you read the first review...? I'll bet every dime in my bank account that he wrote it himself.

OH HOLY GOD. How can anyone read that description and think anything other than "The man who wrote this is a sexual predator"?

Love the logical leaps here:

Who the fuck publishes this shit?

On Gawker this morning they mentioned that he also wrote a book called Rag Doll. Here's the summary on Amazon:

I thought it was an evolutionary thing to just be afraid of the dark. What is out there? Idk, doesn't matter if it's a scary spooky ghost or a freaking wild boar I can't see whatever it is and I don't want to die.

THIS. I am an atheist, but obviously still get creeped out by the dark. My agnostic fiance believes this is a sign that I believe in "other forces," but I think it's more that I've watched too many horror movies and read the news constantly!

I do the same thing when it's spooky out, but I've found that a lot of irrational fears make sense when you put them in an evolutionary light. We're diurnal social animals. Something like being outside alone at night goes against every instinct we have. A fear response tries to get us to change our behavior to…

I agree. There is a natural explanation. Honestly, if I actually saw in real actual life an elf or a demon or a reformed Sarah Palin, I know, I just know that my first thought would be "ok, I guess I am going insane. Time to call a psychiatrist."

"I'm an atheist who feels fear when it's dark and spooky, but I don't think I feel that due to a belief I hold. I KNOW with 99.99% certainty that there are no ghosts in the backyard and yet I still rush into the house with a feeling of fear."

I'd say I'm an open-minded skeptic. I went to an energy healer once to get my aura cleared.
