Because it's wrapping the entire thing and removing it would involve reaching in and grabbing the person's food. That's what fish en papillote IS; that's how it's fucking served.

I'm pretty sure that's a really, really semantic point to make. Not that it's not accurate — as someone else pointed out, wax paper would melt — but still WAY beside the point. Also like six other people made this same point, so maybe check the damn comments first.

I don't find prostitution inherently aweful. Performers (yes, I am calling them performers) are often required to wear scant clothing in crazy temperatures. You should check out the Vegas pirates show. Outdoors, bikinis, and cool night desert temperatures = rough working conditions but worth it for the performers.

I understand why Obama is indecisive. He's stuck between a rock and a hard place. Fighting ISIS effectively one needs to further arm the Kurds - who obviously have their own territorial ambitions and want to break away from Iraq altogether. This would undoubtedly distabalize neighboring Turkey with their own Kurdish…

Because I have a regular cycle, painful ovulation, and especially painful periods, I am pretty in tune with my cycle and where I am in it. It doesn't rule my life, but during week 3, I do tend to consciously take a step back and mentally count to ten. It doesn't have to mean you micromanage your life to the tune of…

So much running! Dramatic piano chords! Mary being inexplicably pursued by all the men! SERVANTS BEING PEOPLE. Oh, i am SO READY FOR THIS.

"I once told my mom to stop being a bitch to me and the next time she called me she left a message saying "Hi Mark, this is the bitch. Call me back if you want Chinese food.""

I was visiting Rome and taking a bus with some friends when we started talking to a nun who couldn't have been older than 25. She was from Seattle, and had just gotten to Rome a few months before, so she was still acclimating, but knew her shit. We get to a stop, and a man snatches her backpack and tries to run off of…

I know what you mean but seriously, no you don't. They will scratch the living crap out of you - their claws are the work of Satan. :)

That was one of my favorite phrases when I was young! (pre-internet) It just rolls off the tongue.

Joint custody of the penis - one weekend a month and every other holiday?

Between the fact that Kristen Stewart could reasonably have been caught on camera smoking hash on her front porch during the height of Twilight Fever and Robert Pattinson screaming, shoving and running away from Twilight fans who were trying to get him to bite their necks, I'm of the impression that both of them knew…

But can it rosebud?

Huzzah! The hubby and I will look forward to long and healthy marriage for sure with very low possibility of glaucoma or Alzheimer's!

DO NOT GO TO THE PENDING COMMENTS!! There's animal abuse gifs! BE WARNED!

As a former history major, I am so goddamn sick of historical fiction at this point. My specialty in college was the American Gilded Age, but I am also highly versed in the American Revolution.

Well, she has a point. (Tee hee! Point.)

I've seen a little too much flip, pop application of Mao's face here in the West, too. Cut it out, people. He caused the death of millions.

DISSENTING OPINION: I remain convinced Gaston is one of those dudes with a tragically enormous dick, who thinks that his huge schlong means he has to do zero work in the sack. He just bumps your cervix for five minutes then rolls over and congratulates himself for being such a superior cocksman.

Look, I'm kind of torn about this.* But Yeezus tap-dancing Ruth Bader Ginsburg, if that is not the most condescending, mansplainy bunch of nonsense words.
