I hereby resolve only to go to Michigan while menstruating. Can ... can I menstruate loudly? I'm going to start doing that.

I always imagined it as something like baklava; sticky, sweet pastry. Having zero idea as a child what it was made of, of course.

I hate you because I laughed.

Beef jerky and these. I can't help myself.

+1 for the Shards of Honor reference.

Hah! That's what I get for watching it on Netflix. I never see the credits.

I think the people who get all "omg his name is THE DOCTOR" have never seen the old series, where he's frequently listed in the credits as "Doctor Who" and not "The Doctor".

My daughter's father is Mexican and I'm Whitey McWhiterson. At her 70% Hispanic* school, she was frequently told she was "too white."

This looks like some kind of MMO battle armor.

Yeah poor Hugh. They needed to step that down a little or something. I thought he was going to pop something during "Bring Him Home"

Ah, but I'm once-divorced, my spouse is twice-divorced, and neither of us are Catholic. Even if one of us converted I don't think they'd let us. ;)

So my bathroom shower has a plastic nubbly-textured floor, and I can't seem to get it clean because the "pebbles" or whatever just shred my magic erasers and whatever other sponges I use. And a brush doesn't seem to get it out either.

I moved to Seattle (well, Eastside) a year ago and know like ... no one. I want to meet you cool people.

"So, what story do you have about the most effeminate anatomically male worship leader you've ever personally witnessed?"

My congregation did a lot of The Awesomeness of Homeschooling and the Evils of the Educational System. I'm a teacher. Good times.

I've started telling them "unless you can get it in your own mouth, I'm not interested". That's a win all around.

It seems like most of the "traditional marriage" crowd don't understand the distinction between the civil institution and the religious one. When they say "traditional" they mean "what my church allows" (sidebar: I've never met an atheist opposed to gay marriage - unless they're opposed to marriage in general. But…
