I’ve been wondering about these, myself. $5.99 for a package of straws seems a little high. Also, how practical are these in the long run? I’m hearing how avocados are suffering a shortage, and there isn’t a huge market for prepared foods that use avocados, leaving the pit as byproduct- I think the readymade guacamole…

That photo really shows how much surgery she has had. I doubt there is a facial feature untouched by scalpel or injection. She really is unrecognizable from this girl.

No, it probably has a lot more to do with the kind of guys that are narcissistic enough to pursue such a demanding routine (that aren’t cast in a superhero movie) and maintain it afterwards. I didn’t take it as a diss on you or your imagined appearance.

You’re not the only one! I saw the movie yesterday and found this clip last night, and all I could think was how this character would never have been played like this if Rocky Horror hadn’t paved the way. So much Tim Curry going on.

Just because you CAN do something doesn’t mean you SHOULD do it.

Although from the way it’s worded, it sounds like maybe this was a takeout order? Not everyone tips without table service. On the other hand, Ms. Carey can certainly afford it, and should have left something. The 40% suggested seems excessive.

Don’t forget, this is all part of her job. She isn’t really qualified to do anything else, except maybe host or participate in a different, but not THAT different, reality show. She’s gonna milk this cow for as long as it produces anything.

Ah. I was wondering about that, not having read the book. The character of the son being nice when he runs into her in the bar seemed to be setting him up as a more appropriate partner if the show continues, but all that anger he exhibits in almost every other scene was a red flag I would hope would reappear like it…

Both things aren’t mutually exclusive. Comics who punch down as the main part of their schtick, or make lame, unfunny jokes that show a stale sense of humor are subject to an audience forking over money or not forking over money to have that experience. If the public decides they’re not worth it, they will eventually…

The character of Julian couldn’t have been any more perfectly written, cast or acted. While I love Hahn, I’ve seen her play this kind of role so many times I know she can do it in her sleep, but Owen Teague and his beautiful seahorse face and long fingers and awkward slouch are really appealing to this old woman in a…

I just bought a black shaggy one from Target for $30 over the weekend. That polyester was already dead, cut and sewn, and I do not feel guilty. Besides, it’ll be a good Krampus component. 

There isn’t even a description. For the record, they are boxy, somewhat shapeless coats made from either a teddy-bearlike textured fake fur, or one that is shaggier and longer-haired, like a really bad, fake Mongolian lamb. They come in varying lengths, usually between crotch and knee. 

I was so disappointed to watch her depart from Ray Donovan this week, so I guess this is where she went. I really liked her character on that show and would rather be watching that.

I wish we’d already get to a point where gay celebrities didn’t feel the need to pretend to be otherwise in order for their careers to thrive. Li’l Nas X seems to be doing all right.

My angry Animal Rights vegan friend has been liberally loading Facebook with memes about how it’s all about mass turkey murder, and celebrates animal cruelty, and You are all Killers, and Here Are 20 Vegan Recipes You Can Serve on Thanksgiving, which is the only useful one of the bunch. All the rest do is make the…

I used to thoroughly enjoy going to my late ex’s family Thanksgivings, because, while they were full of family trauma, resentments, substance abuse issues and passive-aggressiveness, it wasn’t my family, so I could take it as the excellent meal and drama that it was.

Nevermind. The time I heard it used was literal, and not the actual usage.

How does it refer to the stupidity of black people? My understanding is that it either refers to a black rapist or illicit lover of a white woman producing a mixed baby some generations back in someone’s lineage; it’s horrible, racist and misogynist either way. (Oh, hell, just looked it up, and the actual meaning is…

It refers to an undeclared black ancestor somewhere in someone’s lineage.

Club Kids, strippers and a bad plastic surgery convention all crossbred and this is what you get.
