I knew a lot of nerdy kids in school (including my sister) who might've legitimately misunderstood the question, because their brains worked differently. Even in the South, where people also love meat.

I took ballet for years, including pointe, and was pretty decent. Not "go to NYC and be a pro" good, but "win a few national competition trophies" good. I was much better at (and much preferred) tap. Still, thanks to ballet/pointe, I can laugh in the face of every rolling partner who tries to ankle lock me in…

I don't think we had one at Target when I worked there in the late 90s, but every Old Navy I worked at had a changing table in the men's room.

The Body Shop's Hemp Lip Conditioner. It works for hours (even in the Florida sun and overly-dry television studios). It also doesn't taste or smell like candy, so I don't end up licking it all off. It's $8, but on sale pretty often for $4.

Honestly, I find their questions confusing, and I work in network TV. I can't imagine the people they polled would've had an easier time understanding them. Here's what I mean: they include FOX News in a list of NBC, CBS, and ABC news, but never specify if they mean the cable network or the news that comes on FOX…

In the college course I took on serial killers, we discussed how the perception of women by law enforcement over the past century or so has probably influenced investigations - like, how many weren't caught because women were never considered as suspects? One of the books was a 1898 (or so) edition of Cesare…

Me and raisins as a kid:

Another time (same window, different day), we watched the dude drive his truck around behind another building, and she walked all the way back there to meet him. And then they just drove by our window anyway. Part of what was so funny is that they clearly thought they were being clever.

Another pro tip: Don't forget that not being able to see into a window doesn't mean the person on the other side can't see out of it. I was in my supervisor's office one morning (small business, small office, everyone-knows-everybody kind of deal). We see these two employees drive into work together and park all the…

I was a kid, so I have no idea how much it cost, but it was back-lit and full color and SO MUCH BETTER than my sister's brick of a GameBoy (the original ones that were, like, 3-inches thick).

Brenau is working on an agreement, too: http://www.accessnorthga.com/detail.php?n=2…

One of the first classes I ever withdrew from was an Organic Chemistry course where the professor made the back row of the auditorium "Time Out". No lie. And time-out offenses were arbitrary. He would also go on rambling "lectures" about his vacations, then include questions about them on quizzes to make us pay…

The TI-89. It was top-of-the-line in 1998, when I was in my last year of high school, heading into college. No teacher, in HS or after, would let me use the thing on exams (because it could do derivatives, or some shit like that). Had to get a TI-83 anyway. And I'd gotten the 89 because I knew I couldn't use the TI-91…

I thought about an XBox One, but ultimately stuck with a Windows 8 laptop and an XBox One controller. It works with all the Steam games I have, and it's much more portable for a "grown-up" life that involves work, family visits, and work trips.

I always hate that Cruella is included on Disney villain merchandise with Ursula and Maleficent. Like, the other two are fabulous. Cruella just wanted to skin puppies.

When I saw the header, I thought it was a onesie for a baby. Which I would buy for my BFF's kid, because that would be adorable. But the reality? HELL NO.

50 Shades of Grey Poupon?

There was so much I wasn't taught that I needed to know, because they didn't figure out that I was autistic until I was an adult. Since I was "so smart", I think everyone thought I'd just figure shit out, which did not happen. Compound that with parents that are super-conservative, and I'm having to learn a lot of…

I think it's a lesson we don't give enough attention, actually. I mean, I heard "keep your hands to yourself" all the time, but it was generally in the context of fidgeting with things in places where I was bored. On the flip side, I was subjected to tickling that I hated by parents and siblings who wouldn't take "no"…

Yes. I knew people at my college in Georgia who would go on about how much they enjoyed doing this, all the time. This was the late 90s, and hopefully they've learned, but I doubt it.
