That quiet space between 1492 and 1986 must have been magical for asses (and the women attached to them) everywhere.

Maybe to a third party, but if that's the term you've used with your mother or father your entire life, there's really nothing wrong with keeping it up when you're older. I called my father "daddy" all the way up until he died and I know it meant a lot to him that I still considered myself to be his little girl, even…

CORGIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That is sad, and horrible, and all the worst things in the world, and yet this family saw through their grief and was able to give someone else a chance at life. That right there is the very best of humanity. I cannot imagine something more beautiful coming out of something so awful.

They've got a guide that tells you what each set of dollar signs mean- usually a range of prices. But they're usually wrong- according to them, my dress shouldn't have been more than $3000, and I paid $4100. You have to remember that places like The Knot are just there to cater to a specific demographic of women. And…

I am clearly the cassowary-wannabe and Australia is the baby giraffe. YOU'RE DOOMED, LITTLE GIRAFFE. In a good way. =) No, I think the American government wants me gone really bad- I wish they would HURRY THE FUCK UP ABOUT IT. >< Also, LOLZ to the troll down below- Australia has its own faults, for sure, but worse…

Thank you! =) I never thought it would take this long, I assumed Australia would ALWAYS want another crazy radical feminist that loves koalas. =(

As someone who is attempting to immigrate to Australia and marry a citizen and raise a family there, it irritates me too. The immigration website LITERALLY has a picture of nondescript "brown" people on a boat with giant lettering saying "YOU WILL NOT MAKE AUSTRALIA YOUR HOME". And they mean it, too. I've been waiting…

My day has been so horrible that I laughed at this. It's so horrible and craptastic and the guy's response is so legitimately INSANE that I laughed. Because my day has been THAT BAD.

I'm so glad someone brought up how tolerant Australia is, and how progressively they view race issues!

DA FUCK? How disgusting can you be???

Well, for destination weddings it's less expected to bring a gift. The "gift" is that you spent money to be a part of the wedding, that should be enough. (If it's not, the bride and groom are assholes.) But if you're not going to go, at least send a card. So your college friends are dicks. =(

My fiancé and I are having a destination wedding. Both my parents are dead, and he is Australian so we're getting married over there. I know my remaining family won't be able to make it, and they are OK with that. It's a destination wedding for his family as well, since it's about a 4 hour flight from where they live.…

Thank you. Thank you so much. That was…

I'm going to make it a point to at least check it out at work, because the topic sounds interesting, but I feel genuinely bad for the author. It's such a turn-off to see someone's hard work turned into a stereotype of what "women" want to read. Shit like this makes me sad for humanity. There are a lot of good books…

Really? You think MORE PEOPLE will read this book because it's now bright pink with a blonde in a miniskirt on the cover? I think there are plenty of other ways to appeal to a broader demographic than turning what sounds like an interesting novel into a "girly" book. I think a different readership will pick up this…

I'm saying that unless the book requires use of your genitals, people who identify as either gender (or both or neither) should be encouraged to read everything. Books that are bright pink, with a tired looking blonde in a miniskirt on the cover are not going to appeal to A LOT of people. We live in a world where…

Oh my god, this is such bullshit. I work in a bookstore, and when I see my favorite books given treatment like this it makes me want to scream. And throw books. Just to send them back to the publishers because they're "damaged". Seriously, this cover would make me NOT buy the book.

Those were such heartwarming stories, I kind of want to cry a little. Dammit, Trout, I come here to laugh at the assholes ruining humanity, not feel like the world is actually a kind of awesome place to live. *shakes fist at sky* WHY TROUT?!

I work in customer service and today was one of those days where the customers are just… drinking the same Kool-Aid? I don't know. But one guy came up to me and started ranting about how we don't carry any electronics magazines (we literally have an entire SECTION devoted to electronics, but ok, maybe not the one he…
