My first Melissa Etheridge concert was at The Greek in Los Angeles. The ratio seemed to be, at least to me, about 80% female, 20% male. We were walking to our seats and these two guys, early 20s, came barreling through the crowd and one of them slammed into me, almost knocking me down. I shouted “Hey!” like you do…

Maybe, sort of. If Trump was removed from office, his successor is under no obligation to keep Trump’s cabinet picks. He can ask for the resignation of fire whatever cabinet member he wants. However, Trump’s replacement would likely be Pence so I’m not sure how much change there’d actually be.

My first thought was that they must not have any lawyers on their staff because they are violating trademark and right of publicity laws. I’m thinking they didn’t pull the t-shirts not because the t-shirts weren’t well thought out but because they would’ve gotten their asses sued off.

I guess I’m just not seeing what’s so great about their responsibility. I mean, everyone always talks about the burden of being the Queen but what is it that she actually does. If someone took a magic wand and abolished the British monarchy tomorrow, what would really change in the U.K.? Nothing that altered the…

Nope. Dress codes were much stricter in the 60s and 70s. When I was in grammar school at a public school in the 60s, girls were not allowed to wear pants. And this was in Chicago. Girls were expected to wear dresses and skirts in the middle of a freezing Chicago winter. When girls were finally allowed to wear…

To be fair to Pillsbury, the law requires them to oppose another party from using their trademark or they lose the right to the trademark itself. They can’t just tell one party “Oh, it’s cool if you use it.” Because it opens the door for other parties to claim that the mark is generic and, therefore, anyone should be…

I don’t know what it says about my teenage reading habits but there are only 3 books on this list that I have not read and one of them is the YA selection.

Also, Don Henley. If you watch “The Last Worthless Evening” video you can see her singing back-up.

I also remember this. I was 13 years old. I remember that Riggs, played Margaret Court, the top ranking female tennis player at the time, earlier that year and he won. That only emboldened him. This match was a huge deal. It was hyped like the Olympics are hyped. And, yeah, Riggs was quite the showman but…

The Trademark Office bases their decisions on whether consumers are likely to be confused about who owns the trademarked product. There are two registrations for Blue Ivy owned by two different companies. One is for event planning services and one is for retail store services. In my opinion, the second registration…

This is a common trope with talk show hosts who have chefs on as guests. They all do their best to try and fuck up the recipe. It’s so tired and hard to watch. I guess they think it’s funny but it just seems rude to me.

Both Magic Mike movies to see Joe Manganiello almost naked.

I have a friend whose house was used to film a scene in the Closer. She got to hang with the cast the entire day and got paid to do it. I was never so jealous. FWIW, everyone was really nice and respectful of her home. Kyra Sedgwick like her home so much she wanted to rent it for the summer but my friend said no…

Yeah, there’s a similar one where Jesus visits the home of Martha and Mary of Bethany (not Mary Magdalena) for dinner. Martha spends her time, hustling around, getting dinner prepared while Mary just sits at the feet of Jesus, listening to him talk. Martha, probably tired from single-handedly preparing dinner for…

I once worked as a word processor for a law firm in a Chicago. The supervisor of the Word Processing center was Robert Zemeckis’ sister. Robert Zemeckis is the director of Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, Forest Gump, the Back to the Future trilogy and a bunch of other films. When I found out who her brother was my first…

Studies have shown that one of the few effective ways to change a person’s viewpoint can be achieved through a 10-minute non-confrontational conversation. So, this ad is portraying a method that does work.

I remember this exhibit. It contained a map of the city and you could see where the riots broke out. There was also videos compiled that were either news footage taken in real time or peoples home videos. There was a timeline of the events of the riots and I believe you spcould scroll through the timeline and see…

I was going to slam the parents for naming their kid Harry Potter but the first book was published 20 years ago and didn’t really become a huge sensation right away so this kid is probably just the victim of bad timing.

Yes. That hasn’t been explained yet. Diana Gabaldon says she’ll explain it in the last book.

I think that’s why I liked book 5 so much (but fair warning, a lot of other people don’t). The first 300 or so pages all take place on one night. But I was just so relieved because everybody stayed in one place for awhile and nobody’s life was in danger.
