Yeah, I kind of took the first steps towards stopping being a Jets fan this season.

No. No single Jets fan ever wanted them to trade for or play Tebow. I certainly would have rather had them start Sanchez over Tebow, and I fucking hated Sanchez.

The claim that "everybody gets an equal chance at the crapshoot of romance" is as patently false as the claim that "everybody gets an equal chance to become wealthy in America."

this isn't shocking. When you first meet somebody literally the only thing you know about them is their face/body so yeah that's all that matters at first but it quickly changes because it doesn't matter how attractive they are if their personality is shit or you don't mesh well together.

Weren't strapless dresses on their way out? Just wishful thinking on my part?

Please remove the suicide bombing part of the article, it was reported on salon and a few other sources that she took her life at the last moment just to make sure she wasn't taken alive.

It can be worse. One of my large extended (in other words Irish Catholic) family had a GRITS bar. (We "blamed" it on the bride who is from Georgia and otherwise a nice girl) Although I've grown up in the South, the grooms family is all NY - didn't even know what grits were. Every see an Irish person get a mouthful…

hey, just wondering: how common is it for women to take alternate routes to avoid catcalling?

Oh no. Here's how being a religious, God-believing person works. You go and you pray to whatever form of God/representative of God you believe in. Then you go and you live your life in a way that speaks to that belief. Then you SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT IT.

We have a shitload of US shows here, but they're ALL dubbed. The only thing I can watch in English (besides CNN/BBC/Al Jazeera) is fucking Pimp My Ride. PIMP MY FUCKING RIDE IS THE ONLY ENGLISH SHOW I HAVE AVAILABLE ON GERMAN SATELLITE TV.

You know, I think I'd get into some really soapy drama if I was in that situation. I actually figured out La Pola despite not really knowing Spanish (well, knowing "muerte" helped), and I even called the season ending!

I bet you could have instead watched CNN International for comedy.

Oof. I suddenly feel a lot better about getting sucked back into Glee for another year because of limited viewing options while abroad.

Did your captors treat you kindly otherwise?

Colin Farrell makes me weak in the knees. I will be tuning in for sure.

it feels important to post this now

With US Catholics the most liberal of all Catholics, and their children more liberal still, I wonder how these institutions are able to maintain the fiction that their faculties and student bodies represent the views of a bunch of old men in red robes.

Headline, 1942, Casablanca: Vichy Captain shocked, shocked, at all the gambling going on in local establishment.

For some reason finding out the drawings were on the veil and not the dress made that wedding outfit 795458389 times better. I mean, the sentiment is adorable, but I know what my sons drawings look like. I don't think I'd want to wear those the entire night.

As a native of a very rural part of Ireland, I have to ask- where were you?
