Come on now. Like several other people in this thread, unpaid internships taught me what I wanted my career to be, and got me started in it. The first internship actually turned into a decent part-time job for my last year and a half of school. I'm not going to pretend that an unpaid internship isn't out of reach…

The most shocking thing I got out of your comment is that I have somehow been unaware—this whole time—that Janice Ian was played by Lizzy Caplan. (I am not the world's most observant person at times—I blame her eyeliner)

I don't either, and considering I live alone in a city with great and diverse restaurants (including plenty of healthy options), it's not all that much more expensive for me to go out to eat. Whenever I do go on a halfhearted cooking kick, I usually end up ruining some of it by getting too ambitious, and a lot of it…

But it wasn't like I chose any part of my name myself. My first and last name were selected and written down on the birth certificate for me, while I was still figuring out how to breathe air. I would argue that making a conscious adult decision to change my name — to my husband's last name, to an all-new last name,…

Doesn't Mrs. stand for Mistress? Not the same as "Mister's."

I can sympathize; I did this with a nice necklace I received from a guy—only I couldn't afford an exact duplicate, so I replaced it with a very convincing knock-off. But I found the real one two days ago when I was packing to move. The relationship is over, but I feel redeemed!

Honestly I have to give the psychic some credit for being able to pick her mark so well. Considering that that request would send most people running for the police immediately.

This author had best be careful not to get the law brought down upon him/her. Does anyone remember those sites a number of years ago — Rate My Boobs, Rate My Penis, etc? I believe they got shut down due to not being able to prove that said boobs and penises were 18.

This is my favorite one :)

Which part of that doesn't sound right? I certainly didn't live this epic story, but both the attributes you mention applied to me at that age.

Feel better, it was possibly a fake caller. There's a piece that gets passed around the Gawker sites from time to time that talks about how many of those people are actors paid by the station.

So do you have her albums and attend her concerts?

I was really upset a few months ago when I wasn't in New York to run into Michael Buble singing at the Lincoln Center stop. But I didn't have the misfortune of sharing a subway car with these banshees either, so I guess it evens out.

Can anybody explain to me where that porous condoms 'fact' comes from? I first heard a variation of it in my 10th grade health class, when the conservative teacher told us that the AIDS virus was smaller than the holes in condoms, so it could pass through.

Yeah, I hate basically everything about the Smurfs franchise, but this product is not high on my list of their crimes. Although I like to think that even when I was 5, and Lisa Frank was my idea of sophistication, I still would have had better taste than to buy Smurf perfume. Disney Princess perfume, probably, but…

I do take your points in this thread about how people are defined by their jobs, but I don't really see how engaging with someone about pop culture—which they don't even create, but only consume—is preferable to asking them "what do you do," which is, to me, not the same question as "where do you work." "What do you…

The sizes aren't normal sizes. From another site selling Iro brand clothes:
