Hrm. "Like, why, if someone is so conventionally attractive (and has a great personality to boot), would they need to turn to strangers on Facebook for a love connection instead of say, going to a bar?"

Aw! Ours was named "Brian" after the Family Guy dog when we adopted him, but we hated the name (and Family Guy) so we decided "Fry" sounded enough like "Brian" to pass and also was a different cartoon character from a much better cartoon. Also he's a small Fry. How did your kitty get his name?

Ah hahaha. Last night my husband caught me singing "You are my Fry-dog, my only Fry-dog, you make me haaaaaappy when skies are grey, you'll never know, dog, how much I love you, so please don't barrrrrfff all over the bed...." (to the tune of 'you are my sunshine') to our dog Fry. He barfed on the bed the other night.

This.

It's worse if it's a bunch of 13 year old boys who think girls are meant as fuck buddies and pot roast makers, IMO.

Ahhhh. What a good idea! Thanks. I'm totally trying this.

It's easy to make! Get that vital wheat gluten stuff (now I have to buy Bob's, but before I moved back into Seattle I could get it in bulk at WINCO). I guess finding that is the hardest part.

Oh man. You and I have opposite taste in mock meat as I LOVE seitan and HATE field roast.

I wonder if there's anything to sub for the yuba for the same effect. I'm soy-allergic (and would use liquid aminos or one of my other soy sauce subs for the soy sauce).

I feel the same way. And it's been cool watching Parenthood since the FNL actors pop up all the time :)

Yes, I'd like some of that bacon, Coach.

OMG Alex! *Sigh*

I've been noticing adverts like this a lot lately, since all those studies came out earlier this year and last that said women and men are sharing more and more of the housework. In my own home we're 50/50 and most of the women I know have partners who take on some of the housework.

So 1) The veep position is regarded as a surrogate for a reason. If you don't think Biden's "gaffe" was a calculated preview of what President Obama had already decided to do, you don't understand how these things work and 2) No, the president doesn't get to take credit for the equality laws. Grass roots organizing…

I am with you too, although I like going to see female strippers for some reason (am straight). Male strippers just seemed so...aggressively thrusty.

This article on the dude standing around actually uses the word "lurk" to describe his activity.

Oh ugh. Sorry that happened to you.

But there is totally a difference between Egyptians trying to organize a revolution and a fringe hate group in Germany. Although violence may have been a consequence of some of the organizing happening on Twitter during the Arab Spring, it wasn't the intent and it wasn't directed at a specific group of people (well,…

Romney has gotten away with a lot of disrespectful shit that President Obama could not have gotten away with if Romney was the president. If Romney were president and a white Democratic candidate spoke to him he way he was speaking to a sitting US president during the last debate, the white dem might get a pass from…

Oh hell yes you're right. Further, when everyone got up in arms about Obama's poor debate performance in the first debate and how he didn't get "angry" enough, I was like "Uh, he CAN'T get angry, he just can't, thanks to racists."
