oh yep I recognize them.  I’ll have to give them a try! Thanks :)

Fellow Mainer - where was this shop?

Absolutely, I don’t think I would ever do it.

I think it’s fine as long as you trust the other person to be kind enough in the event of a break up to return it.  Normally gifts don’t have to be returned, but family keepsakes absolutely must be.

I saw it on Broadway with Billie Joe playing St. Jimmy.  It blew my high school brain away.  I think the show is also one of the few examples where some of the arrangements are actually improvements on the originals (Letterbomb being the prime example).

Oh, that’s good!

Oh, man that’s rough. I hope they were decent coworkers outside of that! It’s funny how such tiny physical changes can completely change people’s interpretations of the words we’re saying. 

It depends on the accent, but most Americans pronounce the ‘a’ in France quite a bit differently than the ‘a’ in ‘bath’ or ‘grass’. In “France”, it’s higher in the mouth and more nasal, I think because of the ‘n’. We say ‘ants’ with the same sound. ‘bath and ‘grass’ are a more proper ‘a’ sound, like ‘apple’.

I think it’s the hard, nasal ‘a’s. We hit them harder than most languages, and I’m the first to admit nasal sounds are annoying. It’s my main objection to Justin Timberlake and most pop singers.

Frants vs. Frahnce

I think the chair she’s on is really low - look at it relative to her daughter’s foot.

I agree - these are the conversations we all need to be having with the men in our lives. Nothing changes if we just all shout into the echo chamber.

She apologized profusely for that and admitted she should have kept her mouth shut. She is learning, just like all of us. Thank god my words aren’t always public.

I agree completely with this interpretation. I really like his comedy, but I understand it isn’t for everyone - and he has certainly had his missteps. I’m bothered by everyone on this thread saying he’s a piece of shit and Amber Tamblyn should leave him. I have no idea what their relationship is like, but just going…

He has to know he just changed the entire tone of his legacy. 

Right? I’m convinced!

I also like that they say they have “amazing relationship skills”...

I just the transcript of that exchange and GODDAMN. Good on Jonathan!

Better yet - someone calculate how much more CO2 was released from all those cars just sitting there...

I was an adult before I realized you could buy cocktail sauce and it shocked me. It’s so easy!
