I always assumed it was phrased like that for a “sportsmanship” element. Like if it was athlete of the year it imply the most dominating athlete every year, but with the “sportsperson” title it allows them to choose a maybe less successful athlete who did other cool things?

This is fabulous news to me because I think raw tomatoes ruin food, but can eat them cooked. See also- carrots.

How has this not been in my life before now? Jesus, is Lin Manuel Miranda trying to make me fall in love with him? His freestyle with Jimmy Fallon is like, the most enthusiastic thing ever and I love people who are clearly overly excited about their life.

My sister in law is having the same problem. Her dermatologist said that it’s actually not uncommon to have your skin do the opposite of what it was as a teen. Unless your me, then it’s just acne forever.

They are both unnervingly attractive, I can’t argue that at all.

I vote no on the Michonne/Rick hookup. 1) I feel like they seem more like brother/sister than a couple. 2) I like her WAY too much to wish Rick on her.

Nope, we just hung out and chatted. Probably made up some game. It was kinda fun the first time and annoying afterwards. They actually just put us into a lockdown the last time and it stopped.

We had a week in middle school (about 5 months BEFORE 9/11) where someone called in bomb threats every day for a week, once twice in one day. Each time, we evacuated the building so the police/bomb dogs could check everything.

Yeah, I have a bunch of cousins that have been stationed on one of the bases in Colorado Springs or nearby.

It seems pretty probable in Colorado Springs, with all of the bases right there.

This exactly. We have the first couple of seasons on DVD. Classic SNL, peak SNL right? In between every skit that people still remember and quote there are major duds. They’ve just been forgotten, which is fine. SNL is like jelly beans, for every flavor you actually like, there’s 3 that are just gross (I’m looking at…

But the curl thing is a specific quirk of the group they are in due to the kink of their leader, Bill Gothard. It’s not just the long hair but the specific style of having curls just like the Duggar girls. I have a friend who grew up in that group and had to straighten her naturally curly hair to re curl it to be…

I have seen a handful of the most horrible dresses ever at weddings on facebook. One I thought was a joke until I realized people actually had to wear that dress. But it’s not the standard, most aren’t horrible.

Agreed. I’ve been in three weddings- one I don’t remember much (I was the cute ass flower girl and 5), but the other two were pretty damn chill. Both brides said “here’s a color, go for it” and our pre-wedding activities were nothing evil or forced.

So, I haven’t actually watched it (yet, it’s on my list), but isn’t the big plot point of Quantico a terrorist attack? Like from only what I’ve seen in previews, I would expect to see terrorism. I think the disclaimer makes more sense for that show too, to give a heads up to people who might not have seen it/been…

Oh god, crying in the airport is the worst. I went to study abroad and was so excited/freaked out that I was sobbing as I boarded the airplane and didn’t stop for like 3 hours (into a 13 hour flight). I feel you.

Literally, this line and the “that’s ok, I make lamb” line are two of the most frequently said things when I talk to my mother in law. I don’t even know why, but we just crack up every time.

Yeah, I was a competitive dancer and our hair and makeup had very specific rules. We had the same makeup for anything with color (lipstick, blush) and rules for eyeshadow and eyeliner (my studio didn’t prescribe exact brands because of eye sensitivities, but set colors) and our hair was in buns. I actually call bull…

The Christmas season used to be the 12 days between Christmas and Epiphany (at least in my church). Then it moved to all of December. Then it took over Thanksgiving, and now it’s making a creep for Halloween. I’m actually going to need this War on Christmas to be starting soon, because we’re letting it take over every…

“Minnesota Nice” is less nice and more silent judging, passive aggression, and friendly but distant chit chat. It seems to cause people to snap occasionally. I moved up here from elsewhere in the midwest and sometimes feel like I scare people with my bluntness (which is still not that blunt).
