What I like about this story is that basically everyone ends up being a total fucking asshole. I definitely hate the Yerdons the most, though. They’re suing for “psychological trauma” for not knowing if they had AIDS or hepatitis, but also have indicating they wouldn’t have sued if the waiter hadn’t been fired - which…

When I was in high school, it was known as “Saudi Aurora,” because it was a vast desert of nothing.

My mother got super offended at seeing a guy in a sleeveless t-shirt that said, “Sun’s out, guns out.”

Ha ha, yes, my story finally showed up!

I prefer to usually watch movies in English, with English subtitles turned on, because I’m usually doing at least one other thing while that movie is playing, and it’s the only way I can keep up with the plot. Netflix keeps refusing to help me out by making it difficult to tell, immediately, what language a movie is…

You’re assuming that what he said is true.

You are correct.

It’s an indigenous North American/Native/First Nations thing. For some tribal groups, people who had same-sex attraction and/or transgender stuff going on were thought of as “two-spirit” - having both male and female tendencies.

I once attended a conference that was GLBTQQSSTS.

Here’s while I would think there’s space for it. I’ve never seen a talk on abortion that touches on the differences between legal and emotional reactions to it, which I think is very important. It’s one thing to say that an abortion someone has at seven weeks is the death of a fetus, it’s another thing to talk to a…

You guys keep on rockin’. I’m so glad you finally got the legal relationship you wanted.

My weird childhood guaranteed that I always primarily think of John Huston as the voice of Gandalf.

I am always so goddamned confused that Sidney Lumet directed that movie. 12 Angry Men, Serpico, Dog Day Afternoon, and The Wiz.

Whatever; Santorum knows the Duggars aren’t Catholic, so he’s pretty sure they’ll burn in hell.

I should add that every single Friday since their marriage, he comes home with a rose, kisses her, and says, “Thank you for marrying me.” There’s a specific vace for “Mom’s Rose,” which is always occupied. The only times he hasn’t given her one was when one of them was in the hospital or out of town.

Scott Walker has made it very clear that he believes abortions should be illegal even as a life-saving measure. His support of this new legislation is no surprise.

My brother is an engineer to whom all questions have the same answer: MORE ENGINEERING. When he proposed, he bought the ring, got a ring box, drilled a hole in the bottom, got a long shaft/screws/washers/fake leaves/spray paint, and then took me to the corner store to order some roses. (He said it was because he…

Mm, I have to say that “premarital sex” isn’t a particularly good label, as it implies sex between people who plan on marriage. “Extramarital” is probably better.

Your mother checked your backpack?
