Pepto has turned my tongue black before. It was after a night of the worst, unexplained stomach pain of my life which I had taken some Pepto to relieve, so those two factors coupled together led me to believe I was dying. It looked nothing like that horrifying photo above though.

On my birthday in my first year in Korea, my employer made me a cake-tower out of the Korean equivalent of Moonpies. Then dumped a cup of watery-yogurt on top with crazy-looking candles. Everyone else, for every other month of the year, got real cake.

My mom gave me Nirvana's "Nevermind" for my birthday in my early teens, but she cut out a little piece of black paper, opened the jewel case, and covered the floating baby's penis. Then wrapped it up all nice-like.

Yes yes, you are not the only one. I was hoping the guy would be like, "Uh, nevermind... this is gross." But he didn't. :(

There are tons of people rallying behind Michael Brown right now, but if you start making things up, if unsubstantiated rumors start bogging down the real issues, people WILL get disillusioned with the fight and they will stand down. You have to be credible or your argument is worthless. If you don't already…

You're basically saying "truth and evidence are truly stupid." Back up your claims or you risk discrediting something you seem to genuinely care about. The more bullshit that gets spewed around, the more voices you lose to strengthen a cause.

It's sad that this news station ceased broadcasting. I just donated to keep my local public radio station alive because it's so much better than listening to the same mainstream songs peddled to the masses over and over and over again.

My theory is because those people do not want their sight obstructed by things they find ugly or offensive. Which I think is even more selfish than just needing a power trip.

Lisey's Story was the first Stephen King novel I actually read and it continues to be my favorite because it's quite different from anything he's written. Plus it has a strong female main character!

I just can't with egg globs. Or whatever the scientific term is for that disgusting evolutionary nightmare.

I can't actually remember what I read as a kid besides Goosebumps and the Fear Street saga— admittedly pretty trashy. I was playing outside more than I was reading. But I ended up an English major with a love for great literature so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

You kind of need to narrow it down if you want recommendations. There's a lot of great stuff out there and not every genre is for everyone.

I've never much cared for the "Read anything, just read!" argument. I think it matters WHAT you're reading as well because there is some uuuuuuutter garbage out there. I know this because a branch of my company publishes some of it.

I was an English major so obviously books have been a part of me for a long time. But I went through a period a while back where I just couldn't get into any books at all. I think it was due to stress and being abnormally tired ALL THE TIME. I was even volunteering at the local library at the time. My mentor turned me…

Is that a screenshot of Little Monsters?!?!?! Hell yes!!!!

Um...yes you can? I have done it several times. My last trip to the UK cost less than $2000 with airfare and car rental included.

My cat would only drink out of my water glasses and begrudged her own bowl. So I tricked her by putting her "water bowl" in a human cup and putting it in my bedroom so she thinks it's mine. HAHAHA CAT I GOT YOU GOOD.

"Hey man, do you have this new comic in stock anymore?"

I'm super stoked for the third book in the Southern Reach Trilogy, which was just released today: http://www.amazon.com/Acceptance-Nov…

I should also add (since I can't edit my other post) that that hostel was infested with bed bugs, which I should have noticed because they were FUMIGATING the whole time I was there, but they had insisted it was construction and those were the fumes I was smelling. I had to wash everything in hot water when I got home…
