I'm with Paula: Holiday eatin' is wonderful, but it wreaks havoc on my digestion. Especially since everything was SO FUCKING SPICY this year. My poop shoot will be burnin' well into 2014, let me tell ya.

I went to Chick Fil A once, and it was...okay. Not bad, but nothing to write home about either.

New trend!! And keeping in line with the "Hipster" m.o., this one can also be slightly pretentious and/or kooky...Naming your kids after authors and/or their famous works!

My cousin has two boys and she gave them both names that have a neutral spelling, but different pronunciations in English and Spanish. Sorta like my given name, come to think of it. Depending on the speaker, my name could sound very "ethnic" or "milquetoast."

I met a dude named Thor in RL. Older dude with a slight Eurotrashy accent. He was so wasted, he kept spilling his wine (*red* wine, URGH) all over my shoes.

Tupac Amaru is a bad ass name! Sure, it sounds funny to English speakers, but think of it as a name that carries with it a rich, cultural history.

They misremembered that one Simpson's episode where Homer volunteers to be a Big Brother and he's paired up with a little Latino kid (side note: there are Latinos — other than Bumble Bee Man — in Springfield. How cool is that?).

Er, some of those are second, third, and even fourth names. Cuz folks sure had long names back in the days of yonder.

Oh no! He's practically a middle name away from being a national landmark :/.

Really? Let's just say I, personally, wouldn't kick Macklemore out of bed or anything.

He will be very grateful, I'm sure...

It's Reinette, isn't it? PLEASE NAME HER REINETTE.

The Late Diana Spencer's stepmother was Raine, Countess of Dartmouth. Di affectionately nicknamed her "Acid Raine."

I'm embracing the "old timey is COOL" Hipster trend and naming my children old-timey names prospectors and assorted pioneerin' folk would have back in the 19th century.

He looks like he's about to pop some tags and only has 20 dollars in his pocket.

What? No Joan Baez?

I seem to remember various screeds written about this song on Jez not too long ago. Even Bob Geldof disowned it. Something about it sounding condescending toward the people it was trying to help: "ooh, look at the primitive peoples of Africa, WON'T SOMEBODY THINK OF TEH PRIMITIVES?"

My dog and I were attacked by a pit bull (a while ago, mind you, and my dog and I are now fine) because the pit's handler thought she could get the dog from her car to her front yard without putting the pit on a leash. Stupid :/.

Thank you for illustrating why gay men are not default allies for women.

Men make more money than women in the same position, with the same level of education and experience.
