Not just a giant bee. A giant BUMBLING bee!

I am so sorry you had to deal with that. But moreso I'm angered at the ineffectual management. I had a similarly hostile sabotagey boss at my last job, and you just have to wonder— why doesn't upper management see how this is bad for the company overall? (I too was bullied into quitting, yes we both should have sued,…

I feel you; I can't spell McCaunaheyheyhey.

also, maybe I'm terrible, but I kind a want to hear some of the stories. It's okay, my hair is already curly!

I am truly sorry you had to deal with that. On a much happier note, congrats on the baby!

"Actually, it's about ethics in black journalism." Really, Coz? Jesus, already.

What the everloving fuck? Who starts "rumors" like that, and whose business is it if you *allowed* yourself to get fatter?

I would like to marry a Viking. Do you have a spare?

I don't know, if I could wear a bikini with my belly hanging out without judgment, I would wear a bikini every effing day of my pregnancy. (New plan for if I ever get pregnant: head to the tropics.)

I hope not! And if so, I deeply apologize. But can't we blame Mark anyway?

Dear God, now you've got me anticipating a Shrayber article about a new sex trend of men who like to eat out yeast infections.

In grad school someone kept using my fancy shampoo. I used an empty bottle for the olive oil I put on my legs after shaving, and the problem stopped toot sweet. My roommate thought I was being mean (SUSPICIOUS!); I said, "At least it wasn't Nair."

Not everyone works in an office building. And even among those who do, not everyone is allowed to accept packages at work. But cool limited perspective, yo.

I don't want to blame Carmen, because they were a sweet couple, and because correlation does not indicate causality. But there's definitely some correlation there.

EXACTLY.

I too love Dave, and I like your pick-up artist theory — but unfortunately I don't buy it. His style did change about 10-15 years ago (maybe around the Carmen era?) and he shifted from raw primal sexy to creepily slick, like an over-waxed eyebrow. I'm hoping it's too much eyeliner and ridiculous facial hair…

the thing I don't understand is — does no one remember JLo in the 90s? I wasn't aware that we'd ever *stopped* being obsessed with butts.

exactly. Context is everything.

Oh god, my ex used to say "good girl" all the time. At first I hated it, it enraged me as much as seeing it written just now enraged me. And then I remembered that eventually, I came to find it really hot, because of the way he deployed it. Context is everything.

Nope, I'm a woman and I agree: cock sounds sexy, dick sounds like an insult.
