Agreed. I only fleetingly comment on Gawker/Jez, and have only occasionally commented on GT, but I've found the vibe to be incredibly welcoming. And I'm pretty sure no one there knows me at all and has zero obligation to extend that kind of friendliness. They seem like a great bunch.

Plus, haven't these photoshop items been basic Jez material since... forever? In general, I always find it irritating whenever anyone starts waxing poetically about grander days of yore (see also: people complaining about SNL). I've been reading/commenting on Jez since the start and it absolutely has gone through…

Agreed that the Tom Green thing was so strange. But I come bearing bad news - I briefly sorta met/talked with Drew and this guy a few years ago, and he was kind of a huge douche :(. She, on the other hand, was incredibly warm and down-to-earth. And stunningly beautiful in real life. Like, 1000x more than on film.

I LOVE this.

Or doctors in real life :(

Is that the one where she goes "Yeah, I farted! …jealous????"

They gotta fill those 24-hour news channels up with something, after all.

Ah, those familiar words. A blissful reminder that, hey, being single is actually pretty great.

Oh god, I had forgotten about this element of the Franco Roast. It was such an obvious gang-up. The first couple times were whatever, but then those jokes just. kept. coming. I think I do recall him finally getting his turn and just being like "dude, wtf guys?"

Thanks for putting a finger on exactly what rubbed me the wrong way about this. I did appreciate the candor, but the end of it was just ridiculous. She should have just left it at "I thought it was funny and harmless, and if you didn't then we can agree to disagree". My eyeballs rolled 360 degrees when that donation…

Oh god, Cujo. I can only imagine the damage that one did. My parents just didn't understand that young kids don't really "get" tongue-in-cheek humor, so they thought Gremlins was funny and thought their six year old would too. Also, my dad let us watch fucking Child's Play (!!) because it was edited to be on tv. But,…

Exactly what I was going to write too. I start the gloves-inside-mittens and double pants at around 20 degrees. I'm a bona fide wimp.

Man, I wish my parents had that kind of discretion. Gremlin-themed nightmares filled my childhood. :(

And aren't there, like, fifty bajillion channels on most cable packages now? Plus On Demand, Netflix, etc etc…. it's not like this is the 1970s and there's only a few choices of entertainment on weeknights.

What an inspiration to us all.

Jesus christ. I was eating outside in a hurry in the wind the other day, and accidentally chomped on a piece of my own hair and GAGGED PROFUSELY. It is the most absolute disgusting thing in the world.

I don't think I was ever planning on telling them I didn't want to do Ob in my interviews. My exposure IRL in my career has basically been private practice gynecologist offices who never did surgery, so I suppose this is what I'm talking about. But thanks for the info.

Well, it's called the flu because it's caused by influenza virus, and is markedly different from a feverish cold. Flu symptoms are significantly worse and used to kill people pretty often back in old times. Also the flu won't necessarily cause sneezing/upper respiratory symptoms. It is much, much different (as…

My cousins are constantly bullshitting about being sick (with the flu, strep throat, etc) and my aunt just believes them without questioning. It is absolutely infuriating.

Ah, the bully's cry that they are being bullied, for bullying. That old classic.
