It was explained to me that Mädchen is neuter since a girl has not yet begun puberty and therefore cannot be considered a "fully-developed female," and the masculine article is also inappropriate (but my German teacher may have just been making that up). However, the word for boy (der Junge) does get to use the…

Considering the sketchiness of his texts, I would't be surprised if an additional caveat to the deal is that he gets to watch. >_<

Thank you for asking this. The only time I dared to make gravy from scratch it came out so fatty that I was nearly reduced to tears. Care to share or link to this Joy of Cooking recipe, or at least divulge the most important secret?

As someone who regularly trips while walking up stairs, those look like a dare I would lose.

If she has their credit card information and attempts to charge them for damages, they'll likely just hit her with chargebacks. She may have to take them to court to see any money.

Well now that just can't be real.

WOW. This kid seems inebriated in the "Arizona Mexican Law" video you linked at the end.

I wish I had had the strength to be direct with a "friend" who was driving me just about as crazy as the writer from Letter A. This guy wasn't connected to me by family, per se, but us sharing the limited number of friends I had in a new town meant I put up with his terribleness for way longer than it warranted.

Can we add one more layer to this? When they finally rebuild it, their summer vacation ruined, Mr. McNaught will stop by for a visit.

"Before I left for work you said you'd get all the laundry done, but it sounds like you've watched TV all day instead. No more TV until the laundry is finished. It's up to you as to when you get your TV privilege back."

Right on, I would love to read this guide. My father, who I rarely got along with, passed away about eight years ago. I've considered having my grandfather walk me down the aisle or marching down it alone, so I know I've got options. But I would love some go-to phrases for when people try to pity me on a day that…

"Olympic lifting, the most technically demanding of all the strength sports, is also the most deadly boring as a spectator sport. You can only watch so many people snatch a weighted bar over their heads before, as with NASCAR, you just start waiting for the crash."

All seriousness aside, the "Generally Angry Internet People" might make a good band name.

This would have made an amazing Kids in the Hall sketch. Someone ring Kevin McDonald.

I've sold a few of my pieces too and either got the full cost back or more. Better investments than lottery tickets, that's for sure.

I want to lose weight to get back into the clothes I still own but are now a size too small. I'm way too frugal to replace my entire wardrobe. Thank God all my shoes still fit.

The only positive way to spin that statement is that the now-unemployed folk can claim to still be employed when applying for new jobs. I in no way defend the idea of working for free (IN NO WAY), but with how much more difficult it can be to find a job with the scarlet letter of unemployment on you, this may be the…

I have a friend who was approached by her "crew" and asked to volunteer for a matching. She went home, watched a few episodes of the show, and then swiftly declined.

But Donald Trump in a lamé romper would be a "great" reason to care about this event in the first place.

Please pee after sex, ladies. You don't want the kidney infection I ended up with. It hurt terribly, kept me out of work for a week, and resulted in ongoing complications for well over a year.
