Umm, isn't "Classical" like 7 different types of music? Setting aside orchestral film scores, there's at least Romantic, Baroque, and Modern? Does choral music go here?

THIS. I grew up in Texas but in a Hindu vegetarian home — no cuts of beef. It wasn't until after university (so I was ~22) when I realized that filet mignon is a fancy cut of beef and not a filet of the mignon fish, or that such a fish didn't exist.

This is also true with Hindus — we can't have stock made with animal bones, so my mother basically only goes to 3 restaurants that she has vetted fully, one of which is an Indian restaurant.

The reason people connect with and admire Clair Huxtable is because she is a complete, fleshed-out, interesting character.

Holy fuck HE WAS IN THAT?!

This happened (happens, if I'm being honest) with me and my mother.

That's what "British" was shorthand for.

As well as the bizarre contortionism required to achieve the women's poses, as opposed to the men's. Acrobatics and flexibility don't magically remove one's spine/internal organs.

To be fair, half the reason this entire list could be made up from Bleach is because Bleach has about eight bajillion characters. Thirteen divisions, with captain, vice captain, various footsoldiers, espada, arrancar, quincy, Ichigo's classmates, the Karakura-gumi, Shiba clan, the…

It's pretty strongly implied that they do, I thought? Though I loooove Vixen a lot and was aok with those two being together as well. Or OT3.

This was the commercial that made me wonder if these commercials were supposed to be some kind of....Frat Pack/Lonely Island hybird CGI parody? No that's way too thinky.

Sadly, it's been (sorta) done but in other realms. Lois & Clark did the campy, romcommy fun version, and the DC Animated Universe went about as all-in as they could with Bats/Wondy without alienating their target demo.

If you go back and watch the first season of Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, it's very rom-com-y. It's on purpose; the executive producer explicitly says in the commentary track for the pilot that they went full-on with the Clark/Lois romance angle, and they committed to that in the first season. Executiv…

Bats/Wondy forever, no one can take that ship away from me.

Notably, F. Scott Fitzgerald makes this joke with respect to both Daisy and Jordan, as I recall, in The Great Gatsby. I believe much of his work was reflective of sexist attitudes of his time. Our time? The times.

You need to send me the title of this book immediately. I've been on the roam for a new romance, and I've building up a stash for the wintertime.

Offtopic a bit, but: yo Kelly, I'm a major romance fan, and while our tastes don't always run parallel (I liked "It Happened One Autumn" much more than "Devil in Winter," but hey that's why were have different books!) I gotta appreciate your perspective. Any chance we could get some of those Smart Bitches from SBTB to…

That's because firefighters are the new Highlander Scotsman (there was a Thing about kilts fairly recently, kilts were everywhere) and rightly so, goddamn.

There is so much that is A+ in this comment, I don't even know where to begin.
