“The show is scripted, with ‘roles’ and reactions assigned to the various performers and participants, including the homeowners,”

Question to UCLA students/grads, is it required to take a gender studies class to graduate at UCLA if that’s not your major? Admittedly, I took one where I went to college, but mostly because I was (and still) interested in the subject.

I’m not surprised. I once saw (I kid you not) “Gluten free, all natural, organic water”. Massive eye rolls soon followed as the guy was trying to explain that it was locally sourced, which I sure meant out of the nearest garden hose.

Can I be the VP of Non-Apology Apologizes?

I would say the police militarization ball started rolling when Nixon started the War on Drugs in 1971 then started really rolling after 9/11.

Yea, I’m the same age and I know I’m not prepared for kids. One of my sister’s is 18 months older than I am and she sure as Hell wasn’t (and still isn’t) prepared.

When I was in high school for a Halloween production, I played Santa (spoiler: reason why his name is an anogram for a certain evil character) and I “slit” a few throats/“stabbed” a few people (with prop blood because my English teacher/drama instructor was delightfully morbid) but we were taught to be VERY careful.

Hell I live in Chicago (or as my grandmother calls it “Gomorrah”), and I’d love one of those bumperstickers despite not owning a car.

My dad used to do the same thing.

All the better. I love seaweed (order the nori/seaweed salad every time I see it on a menu as an appetizer) and have had a bloodlust towards jellyfish since one stung me when I was in fifth grade.

I personally doubt that she has any friends that aren’t like her, a middle class, straight, white heterosexual woman.

Quite frankly, I don't think they even exist.

My sister is like that.

Can’t sleep... Donald Trump will eat me...

But seriously, I’m surprised that they still haven’t found more than a flaperon and this little debris. Though, the ocean is really, really big and (comparatively) a 777 is very, very small.

Is this cat a littermate of mine? My siamese loves to hop into open clothes drawers and steal whatever his furry paws and mouth can get a hold on and hide it in his nest somewhere (no idea where, we tired following him once only to have him give us the slip) only to “gift” it back after a few days of being missing.

I was wondering the exact same thing.

Exactly. Its not so much the message but rather that Trump is saying them out loud in plain English instead of using coded messages.

Oh how I remember D.A.R.E. and the whole “Just say NO!” crap (as well as all the crappy anti-drug TV specials they forced down our throats) even though I was a 90s child.

As I jokingly say, “life has a mortality rate of 100%.”
