Shillelagh is a word that should be used more often.

This is why I like to think of babies more as sociopaths.

I feel like the, "Sir, let me finish." thing is a go-to move in those situations. It's like that episode of 30 Rock where the writers figured out Jack was in a secret society that had a rule that if you said a certain word or phrase members had to find a way to leave the room immediately. It's old white man…

The look on her face....amazing.

Yes. I recently went through my newsfeed and asked, "Do I give a shit?" about each post. If my answer was no to every post from a certain person, I unsubscribed. If it was mostly no, I adjusted my settings accordingly. This goes for the baby photo/poop update people and the fish face people and the people who post…

Having once sat through a homily where the visiting priest asked what would have happened if Helen Keller's parents had known she was deaf, dumb, and blind and aborted her* and then sang a song against abortion while accompanying himself on an acoustic guitar, I'm fucking flabbergasted.

I assume it was more, you're not paying enough attention to me so I'm going to make you suffer somehow for it. and whether or not she knew the FIRST time what the drops would do to him, she knew before 3 years was up that it wasn't just making him poop. so that's pretty terrible no matter which way you slice it.

Actually we're one of the only countries whose government doesn't fund our Olympic team at all. It's all corporate sponsors and donations. So our country's finances have nothing to do with it. The corporate sponsors have plenty of money to spread around, last I checked.

If there is explicit material relating to a teacher out there where their students can access it, that's a problem. Whether it's their facebook account or an adult friend-finder website or whatever. I don't count just the information that a teacher was a sex worker as explicit—I mean photos, etc. And frankly, maybe…

the issue wasn't being a former sex worker (unless i'm reading it wrong). it was the fact that she spoke out about her experience as a sex worker in a way that "outed" her as such and made it a permanent part of any google search about her. so if you're a former sex worker whose work in that industry isn't…

If by pitiful you mean world class, Olympic-qualified athletes, then yeah...totally fucking pitiful. I know this isn't exactly very American of me, but winning isn't everything, even at the Olympics. I think we forget how special it is to even make it to the Olympics in the first place. And also, while 6 of the…

I took that as them being kind of in awe of how good she is at her young (for a v-ball athlete) age and speculating how much stronger of a player she'll be in the future. When I was watching they did point out a few missed opportunities, etc. that a player with more experience on the international stage might have…

I know!! That might be my fav. team sport to watch.

I can't freakin' believe that I found out about this through a promo for my local (DC) news before it was up on Jezebel. A) because it's not local news and B) because Jezebel is my source for all useless Aniston "news".

YES! That is not purple. Like several clothing items I've ordered online over the years say they're "purple" or even "grape" and show up pink or fuchsia. Soooooo frustrating.

They really should show Dirty Dancing in high school health classes. That's how I learned about the potential for and consequences of botched abortions.

"Young people are fired up because they are the first generation under threat of being legally aborted,"

It doesn't help that there is something about her face or her bone structure or something that makes her look pissed off all the time. She seemed like a typically saccharin teenager in interviews but her default look reads very bitchy. My mom was like, "I'm sure she's very nice, but I just want to smack that look…

Yeah, it was interesting to hear the announcer talk about Wells' background and how she hoped by talking about being raped she might inspire other victims—and it was the first I heard of it anywhere (not that I spend any time seeking out info on track and field athletes). Wells seems like a very talented, charming,…

The splinters issue makes me think the answer is probably none. But who knows what those kinky woodchucks are into. Not here to judge.
