Bohunk is what Tony Curtis calls himself in his ethnic slur-off with Sidney Poitier in The Defiant Ones, no? So is this guy, like, Hungarian?

Oh, Ann. You beautiful, talented, brilliant, powerful musk ox.

Vast amounts.

You, madame, are a wonderful person.

As this guy gets up to ever-more ridiculously wonderful exploits, my fear that he's a secret serial killer or something exponentially increases... In any case, his time management skills must be absolutely formidable to account for how he fits all this stuff around his mayoral duties.

Oh my god, I'm from the UK and American high school just sounds like the worst! I'm going by Jezzie anecdata plus TV, here, so I could be wrong but... yeesh. US high school stories make it seem like half of the student body was made up of relentless, malicious, flat-out nuts life-ruiners, which just doesn't ring a

"I had a lively, slightly dorky social life, a procrastination situation, an obsession with comedy and good books (and less-good books [and lady-knights]), medium-high self-esteem"

That one really jumped out at me as well. I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt that she meant it in the sense of she left her home country and made it in America. Cos yeah, Barbados ain't the Congo, baby.

Oh fuck - now I'm going to have to watch The Newsroom. And it's always looked/sounded like something I'd hate. Damn you, Marcia...

Me and my brothers had these awesome toy swords my grandad whittled for us himself. We were obsessed with playing Roman centurions, for some reason...

Maybe if the kids had been a bit older, they would have said something? I might find it a bit weird if nine or ten year old kids were playing war, with the more mature concepts which might accompany their interpretation.

Kids play shooting games, full stop. We used to play war (both sexes) with appropriately-shaped twigs, as I recall, and no-one blinked an eye because... it's a game, based on bits of movies and TV shows and what little you know about history at that age. It doesn't mean anything.

I find all of the characters interesting (if not always likeable), but right now the 'weird yet it works' relationship between Shoshanna and Ray is what's really drawing me in. Who'd have thought at the start of this show that these two could end up snuggling and talking about pigs?

Never went through a princess stage, was never encouraged to have one - not because my parents had any political views, but because money was tight and hell no were they going to encourage me into something that would involve them wasting it on expensive junk. Most of my toys were books, as I recall, given to me by

I love that attitude that growing up without all these recently-developed gender identity markers will turn you into some kind an androgynous cyborg or (horrors!) a lesbian. If not being allowed TV, makeup, Barbies and ear piercing did that, roughly 100% of all the women born before the 1950s would have been

Oh gosh, well done 80% of perpetrators for not being Asian. What kind of idiot (the person you cited, not you) could look at such a massively disproportionate figure and not conclude that there is something seriously wrong with the way *some* Asian men view non-Asian girls - ie. as worthless sluts who don't deserve to

Appropriate really, given that I've always had the uncomfortable suspicion that Tarantino thinks of black people as super-cool action figures who he can make do and say badass stuff that he isn't allowed to say.

What can I say? Your initial comment implied that you view the average woman as sort of a mutant cross between the girl who does the spoken bits on I Ain't The One, and a parody of Jennifer Tilly.

Would something along these lines suit you?

I'm finding it increasingly amusing how this has snowballed so massively into something Depardieu clearly was not looking for. All the guy wanted was to move a couple of miles across the border and save some cash, now he's got leaders trying to drag him off to Siberia? Amazing.
