Are you Arya Stark??

IKR? The weird thing for me was, with its pretty impressive pedigree, I kind of started out thinking “Wow, there must have been some new research I didn’t hear about, holy cow” Which is pretty embarrassing, really. I don’t know which was more reprehensible, that they would just shamelessly base an entire (“serious”)…

The Grey?

Thing is, if you had neither read the book nor seen the TV show (like nobody ever, I’m pretty sure), and you just saw a still of Currywise, you’d just go, oh, clown, right. This new guy, it looks like they’re trying to make him look scary, which, as we know (by way of savouring the exquisite irony), is way less scary.…

Whoever they are, their population is going to increase by exactly one me as soon as I can find a machete

ETA: Not sure if they told you about the soul-crushing hangover that’ll make you want to go get some more as soon as possible.

Yeah, but...shouldn’t this:

I can only do the (my) left one. My sisters can’t do either. But me sainted Ma (may she rest in peace) could do do frigging BOTH. Mothers, they’re truly blessed.

Reminded me of this story, which I love

You mean Asia. He owns Taiwan.

The real tragedy here, that everyone is missing, is that some poor black dude had Tony Stewart for a roommate.

Oh heavens, none taken, but bless your wee cotton socks for caring. The amount of word-dancing that’s done over this issue (as evidenced by this very thread) is exhausting to keep up with. Plus, it’s a completely different set of rules depending on the affiliation of the listener. Plus plus, it’s all being translated…

...is local color, or is just backwards or shitty

Just stay off MY street and we’ll all get along just fine

Ahem. The governing Democratic People’s Party, led by Madame President Tsai Ying-Wen

Like my wife? Of course the people descended from the first mass emigration (mostly from Fujien) like 350 years ago, and then the second, around 1945-50 (Nationalists and their families fleeing the Communists) are Chinese (a fair bit of cross-pollination with the NINE distinct aboriginal groups who were driven up into…

Blick. It’s so...watery. Right after high school I played in the pit band for a local production of RHS, and songs like this one and Sweet Transvestite, among others, really do rock out like stink. This is awful. What a waste.

Not sure about Ms. Fu, but a vast number of Chinese people (women) believe that not drinking anything cold immediately before or during one’s cycle dramatically reduces dysmenorrhea and other menses-related discomforts. Part of the whole Yin/Yang deal. It seems to work, although I’ve never seen a clinical comparison.…

When my daughter was 12 or so this was on TV (a lot) and one day the end bit came on while we were having lunch, and I took the opportunity to point out to her that James Cameron believes that only rich people go to Heaven, since none of the bazillion poor people (except for the 1 or 2 who had lines) who croaked show…

Best part of this column is you can read the title once as meaning that KB is doing alright. Then you can read it again in with a Ja’net Dubois/Demond Wilson voice so it’s “Kara’s Fiiiine!”.
Because, you know, she is.
