I don't get drunk, but I'll admit that after a two glasses of wine, I become more talkative and kind of pedantic. Anyone else experience this?

I’m amazed at the hostility people have for this article. Tony should be shaken and told that his concerns are redolent of privilege. Since when did punching upward become such a sin?

It’s interesting. If you take a step back and take a look at this place, it is quite similar to a religion. You establish a place that people come to in order to hear their world-views confirmed, support each-other in sharpening their moral perspective, and admonish those who step a bit out of life from the…

Eve better was the time a journalist wrote “one in three black men who have sex with me is HIV positive.”

I think it’s because everything people did as teens was loaded with such significance. I had a livejournal during that time, and I could write about every last little boring bit of minutiae the moment it happened. Now that I’m in my thirties, I think: “Why would I want to write about my day?”

You did the right thing in putting your relationship first.

Go watch her first music video. When you see what they put up with at her school, you’ll understand why she didn't learn much.

Rotten Ronnie’s don't look so bad when presented like this! Makes me hungry, even.

It’s a shibboleth. If you were born in the early to mid eighties and were into video games, (or just Fred Savage) you’d know it.

You know, a fellow can take that headline two ways, Kara...

I had a friend who had the misfortune of working nightshift at a McDonald's drive-thu and he said it practically a nightly occurrence that a random couple would drive up to the window and the the dude was getting special attention like that. Different people, frequently.

Should have been a double rainbow and a flock of white cranes. State-controlled media know how to get these things right.

I don't understand the Evangelion one...

A city needs an Olympic stadium about as much as I need a hysterectomy with a roto-rooter. What kind of sophistry did they engage in to convince people they would ever recoup such an obscene amount of money?!

The problem with lie detectors is they detect nervousness rather than objective reality. The anxiety we feel from telling a lie is often indistinguishable from the anxiety caused by a question like: “Did you take your three-year-old son’s penis into your mouth?”

God can suck it.

Today is the very first time I've ever seen this individual, and I don't understand how he can look at himself in a mirror without an ounce of self-consciousness. I say that because he looks like a grade-A douchebag, yet seems proud of it.

Why does any company do anything these days? They are worried about their bottom-line. Period.

If you don’t speak any Japanese, don’t go. Here’s the thing: unless you are content with hitting tourist traps, you’ll leave Japan saddened by the fact that you didn’t have an interactive experience. The fact is, folks, you can't have a good interactive experience with people who you can't understand. Invest some time…

Oh, the answer to this one is easy. I think you mostly nailed it already. If you get set up as some sort of a whited sepulchre, which is what men often do to womankind as a whole, then invariably you will get little piss-ants who want to drag you down and prove that you’re actually morally turpitudinous, and no better…
