I got a lot of cash and gift cards this year. Not much of a problem for me, I can buy the clothes and booze I want with that. The best present though was something that my Busia did. My asshole republican uncle and his monstrous Jabba-the-Hutt-looking wife were staying with her, so she put up an "I'm Ready for Hilary"…

Or, instead of making fun of these gifts, you might consider that maybe, these people didn't have very much money. These are all relatively inexpensive gifts. These can possibly be gifts from someone who can't afford much, but they wanted to give you at least something because they care about you. They didn't want…

Or you could be glad that you have people in your life who bother to show up and do anything at all for you. Don't want 'em? I know people who could use the attention.

I think this is the last year for me and Jez. I'm very much about feminism, not so much about spoilt bitchiness.

Anything designed to make you pass out can kill you if not administered very carefully by someone who knows what they're doing. Mixing multiple tranquilizers and alcohol could easily cause you to fall asleep and never wake up. It's pure dumb *luck* this guy is 'just' an accused rapist and not an accused murderer as…

A slightly depressing correction: the cocktail of alcohol, benzos and Ambien is a cocktail of 3 drugs which are by design non-lethal. Alcohol is what it is, and benzos and Ambien are designed to be really tough to OD on.

According to alleged accomplice Brandon Liccardi, alleged serial rapist Darren Sharper reportedly had a name for his Alprazolam, Diazepam and Zolpidem cocktail date rape drink —"horny juice." Sharper's charged with one count of conspiracy to distribute with intent to commit rape and two counts of distributing the…

The money Jay Z and Beyonce have made off their...ugghhh...."music", is more sickening than the money Notch made from Minecraft. I can feel the loneliness in that picture, he's gonna overdose on candy.

I am a good white person. ... And do you know what? I don't see a need to apologize for it.

I haven't heard of them. The best bacon I've ever had is Nueske's from Wisconsin. They don't distribute much outside of WI, but we order by the 10-12lb slab now online and it's ~$70-$80 shipped. Amazing stuff, and you can slice it as thick or thin as you want before freezing in small bunches.

It would be nice to get some information on James. The movies never made him look like much more than a prat. He got along great with the Marauders but what made him special if anything?

Suggestion: James was actually the Ron Weasley (comic relief) of the bunch and Lily was the Hermione. That might put Severus in the…

Can we please discuss the fact that Natalie is sexually harassed by the President, and then when the PM sees it he doesn't say anything and Natalie spends the rest of the movie apologizing for her own harassment?!? Crappy plot lines are one thing, but encouraging the idea that women are at fault for being harassed is…

Sigh. I used to go out with a guy with that name.

Things I'm sad to say I know, but I do (I watched all the special features when I didn't have cable)

I laughed so hard at every joke in this piece people think I have Robin Williams in my office doing stand-up from 1986. OMG. OMG Lindy.

I need to talk about Emma Thompson's gigantic sweaters in this movie. She is a nice looking lady and they costume her in tops that are so ill-fitting and unflattering. Her punishment for not being a young fuck toy?

How.Dare.You.
