When I was 16 I spent the summer babysitting two boys, 9 and 10 years old. Someone at the park had called someone else a bastard and excited about the possibility of expanding their vocabulary they asked me what it meant. I patiently explained fatherless sons, illegitimate children and old-timey insults. When I…

In case anyone was as curious as Nicky about Bottoms v Bottoms, it is a real case. In 1993 in Virginia Kay Bottoms sued her daughter Sharon for custody of Sharon’s son, claiming Sharon was unfit because she was a lesbian. Kay won, then Sharon won on appeal, then the case went to the Virginia Supreme Court and the…

I never go to got to a dance ironically. I went to college at 16 with a bunch of other weirdos who decided to go to college at 16. My college wanted us to have some of the high school experiences we might have missed, so in the spring there was a formal dance sort of thing. But the theme was alway “Ironic Prom” and…

My dad helped me with the answers too. I got a ten minute lecture on who Tiny Tim was that ended with my dad singing “Tiptoe through the Tulips.” And since my dad bought and played the game many times, he knew exactly what the game was about.

Skin-to-skin contact is believed to promote bonding with the baby. It also facilitates comforting and helps keep babies warm. Women have traditionally had more opportunities for skin-to-skin contact (ie: breastfeeding) and new fathers are looking for ways to bond early. There’s also social pressure on men to be more…

Thank you for being a speaker of the Truth, that Christopher is the worst. I looked forward to these reviews every week. Sometimes my Saturday felt incomplete until I had read a new and creative dis you had for Christopher. Thanks for this wonderful trip down TV memory lane and remember: YOU CAN’T GET MARRIED LIKE…

Did no one else notice that Dermot Mulroney did a My Best Friend’s Wedding on Jess? Did no one else squeal and giggle for five minutes and squeal again? Was I the only one? For being as high as she was she handled it way better then he did in the movie.

I moved to LA a year ago and after years of an hour to go 3 miles, an hour to go 10 feels like an upgrade.

Blown Away is a great example of Bad Boston Geography in Film. They drive the wrong way down streets. Streets to nowhere lead exactly where characters need to go. The 1/4 mile long Joy St goes on forever. And the several climactic moments rely on getting from one part of town to another in traffic in a nearly…

It was deeply satisfying to watch Pam lay Archer out. Usually when called out on his behavior he is allowed to respond with a shrug, an “I mean...” and a half formed joke. Pam’s punch was the collective release of 8 seasons of tensions. The fart was just icing. Funny, funny icing.

I was going to suggest the Mable Wadsworth Clinic, a women’s heath and abortion services provider in Bangor, as one of the two left off. But since it’s in Maine’s 3rd largest city and operates without federal or state funding it is doubt full that it would show up on either list.

Last week I was watching and I turned to my friend, “Where’s Furguson?” I didn’t think they heard me. Or that they would answer so promptly

I wonder sometimes if there is a version of Christopher and Lorelai that could work or if they are doomed to disaster. What if they hadn’t gotten pregnant? Or terminated the pregnancy? Would they have gone to different colleges and naturally grown apart? Would they have submitted to their parents wishes and married…

“Even though baseball seems like a liner game with all the lines and the big box scores, but the fact is it’s a spacious non-time kinda of thing.” - Annie Savoy

Being Erica has great “Toronto Amusement Park Episodes” too

I believe they were alined with the Bark Up Stacking movement. It caused a stir among the Bark Downers, who felt their views were not given enough air time. Fights broke out, authorities were called in, families were torn apart. To this day on cold mornings, anywhere wood is stacked, you can hear voices on the wind: 

You know why? Cuz

I have been waiting so long to say this:

My favorite lines were —
