Good eye! It was a wedding present. It's the best thing for cutting through chicken knuckles :)

Ok, true story time - the first time we got engaged (ok, that's also a long story) - my husband proposed to me on the beach after dinner at Red Lobster. We live in South Carolina, and the stereotypes are true. In his defense, he was 19 at the time.

The Melting Pot.

I happened to be in Baltimore the same weekend as Bronycon this summer. All of the people I bumped into who were fully or partially costumed and obviously conference participants were very nice and polite.

No thanks. They'd probably all feel compelled to yell encouragement to me as I approached orgasm.

and may I add Espolon, a classy tequila with a bitchin bottle

You don't not understand us at all!

Oh man, you're totally describing a former coworker of mine. She could NOT stop complaining about how everything was stacked against her and that "the blacks and Mexicans" were getting all the breaks. Meanwhile, she lives with her husband in a nice house in a pretty well-off suburb, has a good job, and takes both…

The last one made me literally spit cereal everywhere.

Oh man! White history month comes up over and over down here. Um dude? Think for just a minute. What color were 98% of the people you studied in school? I have actually had a guy say, "Yeah, but a lot of them were foreigners."
