As a St. Louisan, I approve this comment.

I take it you haven't heard of Cherpumple? That's the mother of all pie/cakes.

Yeah. My dog has a really sad, debilitating problem where she can't hear at night. Because I'll tell her to get off the bed when she's stealing blankets and she can't even hear it, the poor dear.

Yep. My fiance decided to let the cats drink his cereal milk, and now he can't ever have a peaceful morning without them climbing all over him to get at it. I warned him. He didn't listen.

Your dog is a great human trainer :)

As far as the wedding goes - god DAMN those are beautiful people. Congrats to them - they seem lovely.

The right to attend any event ever is actually not a recognized human right.

"no-nonsense, deadpan style native to America's great plains."

Sweet googly moogly, what the hell are they wearing?

Looking forward to the new show, because if the past is any indication, Shona Rhimes' shows only have a good 2-3 years in them before they devolve into total camp and hysteria. I gave up on Grey's Anatomy a few years ago after it got ridiculous, and Scandal is quickly wearing on me with the same recycled shrieky…

I feel like the author is so fixated on discrediting the pageant itself (a totally worthy endeavor) that she's grasping at straws. John Oliver did a spectacular job of discrediting it this week with actual research.

Exactly. It was terrible writing. Some bad things reportedly happened at a sorority when she was also at a sorority (not necessarily even the same one). I mean, hell, I was in Washington, DC last week when some crazy person jumped over the fence to the White House. How can you be sure it wasn't me?

Eh, but it also lends validity to the idea that hazing is wrong, and the "I was impressionable and everyone else was doing it" excuse just doesn't fly.

Oh man, look at her dead, murderous eyes at 1:32 in the video. Her demeanor and poise seem to be masking some serious rage.

The poor dear. She just wanted to participate in an upstanding civic organization like a sorority. This is all a misunderstanding!

Good chance these two aren't coming back from Bali alive.

I'm sad I live in a world where being the subject of a cable channel reality freakshow is something to aspire to, instead of a sign that you've fucked up royally in life. I've always thought if I ever end up on TLC, I should probably just end it right then.

It's porn being everywhere, and it's terrifying. Kids are growing up thinking anal sex and brazilians are totally normal/expected.

Copper pennies were also an early form of IUD (and actually pretty effective - just like copper IUDs today).

Absolutely true! And there are no cats in America and the streets are paved with cheese!
