Okay, but we have Google now. And restaurants have websites. And television exists to expose people to things they may not encounter everyday.

Sea level: It really does mean what you think it means.

Many reasons. She’s just a nut. She once called them because a restaurant told her they didn’t have the space to prepare a cross-contamination-free egg-less entree (she self-diagnosed my little cousin with an egg allergy contrary to all available evidence) and she thought that allergen-free food was an American right…

Hmm, I thought sushi was the umbrella term for all sort of raw fish stuff including maki and sashimi. Learn something new every day, I guess.

I keep meaning to send you one that involves an idiot and kale, but I always get distracted by the comments here ;)

I am so for this Sansa/Dany theory. Yesyesyes.

Hopefully they get their own share of wackos. I know my aunt is on their caller ID now.

What is it with sushi and stupid people? I was out to dinner this weekend at a very nice sushi place (the kind where they serve sushi and that’s it, no hibachi or noodle dishes or anything) and the two women at the table in front of us were absolute nitwits. They sat down, looked over the menu, and then started doing…

Very true. I sort of look back at it and laugh at it, but really it sucks.

Yeah, it sucks. When I was younger I wrote a very angry letter to the manufacturer of my favorite line of action figured protesting the fact that the women figures couldn’t sit down. They wrote me back and basically said, “Yeah, we could change the hip joints, but then they wouldn’t be as pretty.”

The ridiculous thing is, studies have shown that preteen girls are WAY more likely to buy and collect media-based merchandise than preteen boys are, especially the non-action figure stuff. Marvel’s missing out on a ton of sales.

That’s true, I suppose (probably the only reason we’ve got Barry Allen instead of Wally West is that he’s Dan Didio and Geoff Johns’s childhood Flash) but I do think that there’s distinct tonal and characterization shifts between the different eras, even if story elements remain the same. Personally, my favorite era…

I feel you. I have celiac disease and while I’d love to go traveling on my own to exotic parts of the world I can’t get over the fear that I’ll have no way to communicate “no wheat, rye or barley” or that other places in the world just aren’t aware of gluten the way we are since celiac is much less common in…

Please let me invite you to the wonderful world of fanfiction, where nothing has to change.

I think there was a woman in the news not too long ago who had pregnancies in both uteruses and ended up delivering the kids a month apart.

No 911 records don’t mean that nobody called. They could have called the nonemergency line or another city agency.

Oh my god, I had no idea about her son. How horrifying. I guess his adoptive parents want to spare him the trauma of knowing what happened to his mother, but you would think that they would have it in their hearts to give her something after what she went through.

You’ve never seen teenage boys with the sides or necks of their shirts cut off? Or very see-through white t-shirts? Or jeans with ripped out back pockets?

You’re right, I missed that part of the dress code (my schools had no such provision, so I assumed this one did not).
