@clockwork: Ugh, yeah. I'm pretty sensitive to hormonal birth control, so I have an IUD. Of course, I didn't find out until I got to the doctor's office to have it inserted that my insurance was only going to cover half. Luckily, I had just paid down a credit card.

@achilleselbow: YUP. They might even still be "together" for all I know.

The affordability of birth control is definitely an issue, and the fact that certain insurance plans will cover some forms of BC but not others is another problem, as well. Not all birth control methods work the same for every woman, so it's important that people have choices.

@Uncommon_Whore: Ahahaha right? My boyfriend and I refer to that kind of "strategy" for picking up women as "the tuna fish sandwich approach," after Jude Law's character in I Heart Huckabee's.

You know, I have met 2 different pickup artists in SF (the downside of doing marketing for bars, I guess), and I think it should be said that the actual Pickup Artists are, in fact, cads. One of them dated my former coworker, but asked her to keep their relationship a secret so that he could maintain his reputation as…

They also "cleaned up" her belly button. Her belly button!

I didn't mind her in Pieces of April...

I used to do freelance stories on beauty products, and I could probably list 30+ products that have spam blogs and net similar search results to what you found. Anything related to easy weight loss, hair removal, skincare, etc will usually bring with it a number of spam blogs and very little hard facts or reputable…

The off-color car deal is so true — I didn't care what color my car would be when I bought it December 30, 2004, and I drove a brand new yellow car off the lot with only 7 miles on it for over 5k less than its base price. It even came with a premium speaker system and sunroof. I also never have trouble finding my car…

FINALLY.

Forget bluetooth: I haven't been so excited about something from Casio since my 16-key keyboard I got for Christmas when I was 5.

I'd probably be the girl to get shot in the face. The funniest thing about "The Game" is when you realize when guys are trying to use it, and then of course, calling them on it.

@D0ct3r: Oh, totally. I was commenting more on the idiot robber than the cop.

Well, thank god for the Walgreen's employee who came to the cop's aid. That robber did not seem totally concerned about the gun sticking into his neck.

@WillHookforChipotle: All I could think when I saw this picture was that they'd make great extras in Lord of the Rings, and I can't complete the thought of why.

@hollygirl: I dated a guy whose grandfather changed the family name from Katz to King during WW times. I could have been Kat Katz.

@normawilahmina: I watched that part and thought "Isn't it nice to pretend that job security isn't a major issue floating in the backs of many people's minds these days?" No job = nobody to pay for those camping trips, kiddies, with or without dad.

@remmelt: Oh man - Marylanders are pissing themselves with joy right now.

My boyfriend's sincerest last wish is to be catapulted. I think I may have found a way to combine his death with Red Bull Flugtag, which might just blow his mind (though I promise I really don't want my boyfriend to die ok...).

This is why I always try to get to know or at least have in sight a doorman/security guard etc when I go out to bars. I had a guy rub up against me in a bar once. I turned around to the doorman nearby and yelled "Hey Greg! This guy thinks he can rest his dick on my leg!" Everyone in the room looked at him and laughed,…
