You’ll be ok, as a Portlander, I’ve been very impressed with Grimm’s depiction of how absolutely ass-deep we are with Wessen.

Just this one, I think:

Talk about finding the bright side. Good for you!

You know what? Keanu Reeves.

Steph's period as Batgirl didn't end because it didn't 'resonate', it ended because of Flashpoint. I've never met a single person that has read it without falling in love with it.

I just loved all the stuff they crammed in there. Klarion and Valentines day! Supergirl and holographic Draculas! Damian and a bouncy house!

"Stephanie's period as Batgirl didn't resonate with comic readers, and the series was cancelled after 24 issues."

Fool him twice, shame on something.

My high school choir teacher was gone 9/10 Mondays. I had choir for my first and last classes of the day. The first class was mostly spent sitting until someone came in and officially announced that she wouldn't be in that day. The accompanist let us go "to the library." This was established choir code for leaving…

I don't know if this counts, because the excuse was also completely true, but:

My sister has issues with our mom and step dad, so instead of just not inviting them to her wedding reception she gave them the wrong address and when they contacted her because they could not find the reception she told them she got lost and went home. Got lost. Couldn't find her own wedding reception.

I teach high school so I've got a million kid excuses, but this one happened at home, last night.

my grandfather was dying, most of the family was gathered around, and his wife of 48 years went to bed because "she needed to be refreshed in the morning".

"Iraq has weapons of mass destruction."

YES.
