Ugh, what a sticky situation. This guy clearly had bad intentions toward you from the outset, and just used the Atari as an excuse. So, he was a deranged creeper from the very beginning. As gross as that is, I'd say that he didn't truly cross the line until he laid his hands on you. That is enough that he needs to be…

Hey, dude, these pearls are not gonna clutch themselves.

I used to live about 6 blocks down from the Cha Cha Cha on Haight, and I went there all the time. The plantains are TO DIE FOR.

I never saw Firefly when it ran on TV (because there were apparently only like 4 people who actually did) so of course I saw it on DVD. After watching the first ep, I was like "HOOOLY shit that was awesome! Let's watch the whole disc right away!" but my wife wouldn't let me. She made the excellent point that if I…

I am not so insecure that I feel "threatened" by a woman who is taller than me. I'm only average height - 5'10" on a good day. My wife is 6' tall (or at least she was before having three kids - did you know that can shorten your spine permanently and knock a few inches off your height?) and I dated a chick in high…

Please. There are plenty of bigoted assholes who live on the coasts, and plenty of decent people who live in between. Sweeping generalizations are dehumanizing, whether it applies race, gender, political affiliation, or location.

Is there a way to put a particular person on ignore? I'm not terribly familiar with how this silly new commenting system works yet.

As it turns out, we can work on settling more than one issue at a time. I agree there are other issues that are probably more important than guns, but that doesn't mean that gun legislation isn't also important or that it should be ignored.

Interesting you should mention this. Just the other day, completely out of nowhere (haven't seen this film in literally decades) I thought about it and wondered if it could be found on NetFlix. This answers that question, but not in the way I had hoped.

The show is fun. It's not going to win any awards or change anyone's life, but the characters are just as amusing as they were in the movie, and it serves as a decent placeholder until the proper sequel is released in theaters in 2014.

If I ever need a little pick-me-up, I just go to Google and type in "michele bachmann batshit crazy" and go nuts reading the comedy gold that is revealed. This is a habit I have had for about 10 years now, and it just keeps getting more fun every year.

To this day, "Wandering Stars" makes me think of oral sex (to the point where I can almost taste it). So much repetition makes for a strong association, I guess.

Having been married for ten years now, my wife and I have established a fair number of little behaviors and rituals surrounding sex. I let her pick the music we put on for sexytimes, and that gives me a good clue about her mood. It's usually something mellow and frequently instrumental, like maybe some Andrew Bird or…

Jesus Christ, how many times am I going to have to explain this? An apology is recognition that you did something wrong, and an admission that you will try not to do it again. This non-apology "sorry you got offended" is just bullshit. It is essentially saying "it is YOUR fault for not agreeing with me, and I didn't…

I miss Mako so much. The last season of Avatar just wasn't *quite* right without him, and as much as I wanted a continuation of Samurai Jack it simply wouldn't be the same without the original Aku.

I almost didn't want to read the article, as the headline was just too perfect to ruin with 'details'. With just a little bit of work, it could be made into the best haiku ever.

What a fantastic list! War for the Oaks! Dune! Amber! Howl's Moving Castle, Stainless Steel Rat, Hitchhiker's Guide! Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Good Omens! And even The Princess Bride!!! It's like you snuck into my house last night and looked at the most care-worn of all the books on my bookshelf. Word of advice…

Agreed. So far, I have only found one asshole saying "Darwin Award winner" here, whereas on other sites I have found dozens of people saying that.

Do you mean because the main character, who had been sold to us in the first two books as a stone-cold badass, spent most of this book blubbering and feeling sorry for herself?
