YES! And it was totally Don, Hae’s boyfriend!

When will this article be adapted to a noir film? I very much feel that’s the direction this is moving in...

your soul is aflame with god’s absence, but you don’t actually burn

True story: my strongest memory from CCD was this girl name Elizabeth spelling the word “Peace” wrong in her workbook (the question was “What is the Pope’s message?” She spelled it “Peece.” I told her she was wrong and she argued she wasn’t and I seethed because SHE WAS WRONG!)

IMHO it’s all bullshit anyway, but... it’s not so much an upgrade as Limbo no longer exists. It’s not like babies go to Purgatory now. There’s actually no set doctrine on where unbaptized infants go.

Well OBVI. You can’t argue with such sound logic.

Actually, that was Limbo, which is a separate concept. Purgatory is like Heaven’s waiting room where you earn your way in (you can speed up the process by having people pray for you). Limbo, as I understand, is a permanent place exclusively for the unbaptized. In Dante, Limbo was just outside the first ring of Hell…

That’s actually just the Catholics, and there is surprisingly no OFFICIAL doctrine on the subject!

I swear to god I have seen a clip of her saying this/recounting this story:

The rich beauty of this bullshit is that she has said that she looks forward to being greeted in heaven by her aborted offspring.

That is all.

Mark. Bro. That Maria Callas reference. I thought you were going to let it stand without explanation and I would havE admired your chutzpah. That you made that incredibly esoteric reference at all, however, remains impressive.

True story: I have actually never seen that movie. I haven’t even seen a full scene from that movie.

Oh just you watch her! No one puts Baby in a corner, and no one tells Carly Simon what she can’t do!

Would it ruin the movie for you to know that Plummer hated it? Dude’s crazy. This movie is everything. Even my husband choked up a little. This is my heavily tattooed husband whom I’ve never seen actually cry in 12 years together, which includes episodes of depression, our wedding, and the births of two children. Two…

Fuck. That is horrifying.

Usually. Why? Do you not?

HOLY SHIT I LOVE YOU SO MUCH FOR LINKING THIS! I remembered that this lady was saying “Babies!” and that the commercial was funny, but I’d forgotten what it was about. Hilarious. Thanks!

Aw! That works out well. Yeah, I know a few Daddy and Papa/Papi combos. Or Mommy and Mama...

There’s no standard, of course, but the same-sex parents I am closest to are my uncles, and they are “Daddy” and “Father.”
