Dude.

Anecdotal, but yeah, I agree. I've asked partners to hold my wrists down and have gotten one or two "I'm not comfortable with that" responses.

Nah, the lack of copy (I think) is because of a kerfuffle between Jezebel and Courtney Love. She contacted the site asking to write an anonymous article, editor responded positively, then never heard back. Did it again several months later. Then, she got all butt hurt about some post and took to Twitter, slamming…

One of the Minnesota clinics closed is in my hometown. Another one is in an adjacent small town (as in, the next closest location for people living in my hometown). Outstate Minnesota is very rural. Women can't just hop a train or a bus to the nearest clinic. I don't need to tell you smart, compassionate people…

Yep! A small slice of my pound cake (which has 6 whole, natural, full-fat ingredients: cream cheese, butter, eggs, flour, sugar, vanilla extract) is infinitely more satisfying (and, I would argue, healthier) than a whole box of those weight watchers frankenfood desserts.

I bet those rats fucking loved the Pringles. As far as lab tests go, eating pringles and being weighed on scales is one of the best lab rat gigs around. We had a white rat as a pet growing up, and her salty people food of choice were Town House crackers.

That is a great team name. If I skated for them, I might want my derby name to be Betty Friedanimal.

Nordstrom Rack! I get almost all my shoes there—they sort by size, which I'm nuts about, and the one near me has a crazy big size 11 section, and even a fair amount of 12s.

Yep. The hours are always bad, the pay is always crap and with insulting low raises (if any at all), and the customers are always thankless assholes and idiots. It's a good day when a customer treats you like a human; it's a good job when your boss treats you like a human.

The free weekly here in Minneapolis-St. Paul has an excellent little doodad on their website now—a generator of crazy things Michele Bachmann has said or done. It's presented in 1 or 2 sentences, with a link to the news story for more info. Then, at the bottom is a button that simply reads "Seriously? Tell me some…

If you frequently blend (I make smoothies about twice a week), here's something I've started doing recently: blend a whole bag of spinach and up to a pound of carrots until it's an unappetizing green sludge. Pour the sludge into ice cube trays and freeze. Then, add a cube into your smoothie every day. I can't even…

Or, as Kanye West says, "Face it—Jerome get more time than Brandon."

Seeing as she's a 22 year old who got daddy to buy her one of the largest homes in the country to live in only part time ... I'm gonna say that "awful personality" is a given.

I learned it from my hairdresser! My salon gives free bang trims, but I couldn't be bothered to drive all the way across town, wait 20 minutes, and pay a five buck tip every time they got shaggy. My hair grows FAST. I ended up trimming my own about once a week.

I used to have straight bangs. I would've used this method for the first part of my bangs-trimming (where I cut in a straight line), but I would've needed untaped hair for the second part, which was cutting gently up into the bangs with tiny snips at a 45 degree angle to give it a little texture.

I should listen to Springsteen's version of "Santa Claus is Comin to Town" when I get home, with Clarence "HO HO HO"-ing in the background in such a ridiculous, bellowing voice that Bruce is cracking up as he tries to sing. Man, now that's a joyous song.

Agreed! Let's see some road trip movies, girls'-weekend-out-of-town-just-because movies, hilarious coworker or neighbor situations, and female stoner movies.

That reminds me of products like "Philly Cooking Creme," and McDonald's calling it a "Shake" rather than a milkshake, because both products don't contain enough dairy to legally use the words "cream" and "milk." People who know the rules notice the funny language, but I feel like most consumers don't pick up on it.

Serving meat is better than serving carbohydrates that break down into sugars, right? I was baffled at his comment. Aren't meat (and vegetables) among the best things to serve a group of diabetics?

This is true. And yet, the biggest media coverage and mass food poisoning hysteria for the most part haven't come from many cases at restaurants, but from basics people bring into their own homes. The big story in 2010 was salmonella in eggs, the biggest stories in 2009 were Cargill beef and salmonellosis in peanut…
