I'll bet the man plundered her before running her over, too.

If she has a complete cardiovascular system, thought the child was an adult dwarf, and enjoys kicking people solely for non-ideological reasons, then I suppose we can concede that her statement might be accurate.

Can you blame the guy, though? Who doesn’t have a story of a friend or family member who realized they’d been overlooking their soulmate until that fateful day when he copped a feel and unloaded his magazine into the wall to show his devotion?

I’ve known people who have been through a few divorces and I marvel that they aren’t in financial ruin. How the hell do you get ahead when you’re dividing your assets every couple years? I’m glad Jessica Simpson could make it work, though. Remember when she got sued for a ton of money for not wearing her own brand of…

Wow. I hope for that woman's sake she was drunk enough not to have to remember doing that. Not that she doesn't deserve to feel embarrassed. *shakes his head ruefully*

My friend used to be in an emo-band back in the early aughts, but eventually he and everyone else from the band moved on, except for the guy on keyboard who was still trying to eke-out an existence as a musician. (Total stereotype of an emo guy, too. Hair dyed black covering three-fifths his face, jeans so tight they…

I knew a guy whose father came from Estonia, and he said their version of Halloween was kids dressing like hobos and knocking on doors for treats in homage to Martin Luther, when he was on the run from the Catholic Church and begging his way across Europe. Was the church you were dragged to Lutheran?

This gives me hope. When io9 released the news a few days ago that the rights to Octavia Butler’s Dawn had been optioned for television, I was worried that they might change the protagonist from a black woman in the book, to a white woman just because it might get more eyeballs. It is unfortunate that unless the…

I can’t read that transcript without picturing Mr Russo stifling his laughter and struggling mightily to suppress a grin as he answers the judge with a cracking, uneven voice.

Sorry. I'm an idiot. Yeah, I realize now how it works.

My father is a teacher, and he has told me before that it is difficult. On one hand, they need to engage the student, but on the other, they have a curriculum they need to stick to so they can show each student has met certain benchmarks and that the teacher is doing their job. The whole current education system was…

This is the sort of thing that would have been shut down anyway. For every Snowden, there’s a million bad-guys, and the library would soon enough be swarming with a seedy element that would soon cause serious perception issues for this particular branch.

Is there any risk that amateur treasure-hunters will get this kind of equipment and start digging-up antiquities?

I completely agree. The problem is that so many producers care a hell of a lot more about making good money than making good art, so they don’t stay out of the talented people’s way. They often don’t realize that if you make good art, the money will come.

Wow, sorry for the quadruple post! I’m not in the habit of hitting the “publish” button like a hamster trying to get a pellet, but kinja was acting-up and I didn’t realize this would be the result. My apologies, Charlie.

I think these are awesome, but I hope they never become so numerous that some idiot politician uses their ubiquitousness as a pretext to slash funding for libraries in his area. The idea may sound far-fetched, but if you take a step back and look at what a circus-sideshow politics in this country has become, and…

I know a teacher who finds art like this and gets his young students to write whatever story they think it illustrates. Getting them to read it in front of the class usually isn’t hard because they’re usually so jazzed-up about it that they forget they’re doing a bit of public speaking.
