This film and this scene had such a tremendous impact on me. I saw it in the theater first run when I was just on the brink of a calamitous first year of college, completely paralyzed by depression, moved home and felt like a failure and thought about dropping out of school entirely. After the movie I sobbed out in…

Update: Mike Tyson Elected Mayor of Toronto

Fake German accents (I like real ones too). My ex used to do one for me, and I'd be like "No, seriously, take your pants off now...No, do you really have to stop talking like that during?!?!?"

I went to one wedding invitation place (I just happened to wander in) and little did I know that it was Miss Holier Than Though (although she probably changed her name when she was married). She proceeded to tell me that everything I was doing was wrong and how she HOPED that my mother would be using calligraphy on…

Then again, I'm no Texas legal expert, but having seen a lot of Westerns in my day, that boy may have, "needed killin'," which would presumably free Barajas from any retribution by the family, assuming, of course, that he didn't shoot him in the back.

I imagine there are a lot of good stories in mental health, as there are in my field, which is special education.

I love farm raised homosexuals. Much better than those free-range homosexuals.

Once a bat flew into my apartment. My roommate grabbed a Batman popcorn bucket and put it on his head, jumped on a chair and gestured at me to get it out. I opened the balcony door, grabbed a broom and "swept" the air in the room with the bat directing it outside. The bat left, I was declared a hero and I made my…

This didn't happen to me, so call it apocryphal if you must, but it's still a great story I heard from a friend.

A few years ago, in my free-wheeling salad days, I spent a few months backpacking through China before travelling down into northern Pakistan to teach English for six months. It was such a great adventure. I spoke about ten words of Mandarin, but man, I had fun. I especially loved Xinjiang, in the far west of China,…

This won't win the pissing contest because it's only partially about a crazy animal, but it's a cute story.

A friend of mine died. I was really sad. I was sitting outside missing her on a bench outside of work on a beautiful sunny day. A lovely orange butterfly landed on my knee and hung out there for several minutes. It cheered me up immensely, and flew away.

So two years ago I was locked in an epic struggle with a chipmunk who made his home in my front flowerbed (I use that term loosely as my tiny tiny townhouse supports an even tinier yard). His second favorite thing to do was dig tunnels throughout the flowerbed and rip shit up. His favorite thing to do was fuck with…

Now I'm so sad, because I never thought about it, but Phillip Seymour Hoffman would have made a great Bunny.

Here's a perfect GIF for this story :

I got one really horrifying one, and one hilarious one. I'll lead with horrifying.

Whoa. I have to say my sympathies are entirely with the server in this story.

I've been thinking the exact same thing! Would love to see a pic of you!

I had been in a very stifling and unhealthy relationship with someone for 5 years. Needless to say, the sex was not great. We were young when we met and not experienced, and we never seemed to get it right. I was used to sex kind of hurting and it not being very exciting at all.
