That, right there, is fantastic! Bravo!

Crab Day. I hear Crab Day. I don’t know whether that means we’re having a lovely seaside picnic or I should schedule a visit at the gyno office for a bug check.

Well, it is Taymerica now...

The boyfriend was an idiot. I know him, he’s cocky and just full of himself on every level. He’s the kind of guy that does things and never thinks he’ll get caught. There had been a couple of other things that in hindsight were blaring signs that he was a creeper and shouldn’t be trusted. But along with all the…

My sister’s best friend was lounging around her longtime boyfriend’s house one day and when she got bored she popped in a random tape she found sitting on a shelf. There she saw a woman she knew well from church having sex with her boyfriend. She was beside herself and stunned, of course, and as she sat there stunned…

It puts the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again.

We may need to agree to disagree on who might be left of whom, I’ve got to run. I’m also looking for my happy place, let me know if you spot it anywhere.

Did that come off as harsh? I sound waaaay harsh in this thread, don’t I?

Party affiliation doesn’t always tell the tale. The owner of one of the biggest leftie blogs out there (Daily Kos) was a republican until Bush was elected. It’s not how they once were, it’s what they are now. Isn’t that what Hillary’s been saying about her own policy conversions?

I can see you’re really invested in this idea, so God Speed. I, on the other hand, will be fighting it tooth and nail because I have no intention of wasting one of the best senators we have and a real champion for the little guy in a position to do something about it. Warren is so much more than an empty suit to be…

Well then let’s make sure that we continue to have a minority Senate by snatching one of the only effective liberal Senators we have and shoving her into a role where she’ll have all the influence of a stale loaf of bread. What a fantastic idea! Genius! Bravo!

This is what you’re going to use as evidence that the VP roll is a better fit for Warren’s brand of legislative activism than her Senate position?

Sure. Right. Tell me just what, exactly, Joe Biden has accomplished from his fantastic post as VP. What legislation has he passed, what voice has he given to any cause (other than the cancer thing that Obama wrangled for him and even there I have no idea what he’s doing about it.) Now contrast that with Warren, whose…

Yeah, but she’s not most people and I’m betting she means it. I mean, why would she want to be VP, a job that has absolutely nothing of value to offer it to anyone, especially a woman who has wrangled a politically powerful position where her words and actions has a chance to make real change? And especially when you…

My own mother was a fairly unbalanced woman who was prone to both verbal and physical abuse. My dad and I adopted a similar way of speaking to her when the unmistakable signs of a fit coming on became apparent. It’s a defensive stance, to try to ward off what you suspect is inevitable.

Jeezus Fucking Christ on a Fresh Baguette! When will this madness end?

I understand how many will feel that way, but I always watch. This one, Tamir Rice, Oscar Grant, and all the many clips of Michael Brown. Michael Brown hit me especially hard, because his killing wasn’t far from where I live and I know the area and the people there well.

When I was growing up we had a pastor with an Aggravation problem. We’d have game night in the church basement and someone who didn’t know better would suggest a game of Aggravation,which our pastor could not resist. Everyone in the know would slink away quietly to have a go at Candyland or rousing game of Crazy 8's…

I like Swiddle. Or Hift. I like to keep things simple.

I think maybe it’s deeper than that. Not that that isn’t deep enough already, but if we take what you listed and then add that whole breast removal thing, I think that adds a special kind of heartless and/or clueless to the mix. None of that may be what Schumer meant, but gay or not, if I were someone who’d had their…
