oh man anyone who has experienced the frustration and horror of dried oatmeal will applaud you for this. an ounce of prevention....etc etc

love it!! hope your friend is okay :)

ah Billy Mummy, the Macaulay Culkin of the 50's and 60's. he even creeped me out in Lost in Space—although i did see TTW episode first. cannot unsee

it is easier to blame yourself for control of the situation reasons (as Violet Baudelaire said), but also its historically what women are supposed to do with any relationship problem, so we've sort of become used to it. Its an old-fashioned idea certainly, but a pervasive one. "Not feeling enough attention at home?…

you're right I think that is definitely the difference. Its really telling that the inherent difference in the two is the level of assumed personhood—like, idiots are still people and at least demand that little bit of humanity/respect, whereas people want to shoot Obama like an animal in the woods. they just can't…

YES. and now that's what i'm going to call them too :)

.......they are making a career of it? but thanks for the condescension dad!

but why? i honestly have no experience with unabashed V-day lovers (friends, parents, etc). Like Twilight, it seems like the sort of thing that people find embarrassingly romantic/enjoy almost as much as they enjoy making fun of it. The only people I know who would be genuinely upset that you're being a good friend…

on the basis of two people?......yeah dude, no offense but maybe you just have a type (ie. not very empathetic ladies, sticklers for tradition etc) most of the women I know could give two shits about valentine's day, but would definitely (and have) put off hanging out with significant others in the face of…

the phrase "icy snot-plate" should be used all the time. I'm not sure what else it could possibly refer to other than moustaches, but its really fun to say. (but sounds horrible to deal with. and the can tab—yeeow!)

your argument falls down because these aren't just any men and women, they run our country, and are in the public view all the time. i'm betting if our society weren't programmed to notice the female differences more, we would be commenting on every Obama shoe and tie combination we ever see him in. Plus, a change in…

ahhhh THANKYOU.

yesssss. I'm american but fringe makes more sense and sounds kicky and 70's....like ms. middleton's outfit

the United States Government is not forcing them to cover something that is against their teachings...because, y'know (theoretical, but-not-really-because-the-Church-won't-allow-it) separation of Church and State. If the Church wants to own businesses and employ people, it has to meet the standards of work set out by…

dude, this is my EXACT ideal relationship. well with mutual blowjobs, but still. if/when i ever actually have a relationship, this post will be in my contractual dating-obligations....every wednesday at 11am.

i'm pretty sure the Duchess meant "metal" in a good way, ie "badass". as in, good for you, you kick ass lady.

me too. not pregnant, very possibly pms-ing. but also, little girls! little girls on skateboards!! (also children in helmets might just be the cutest thing next to sneezing pandas)

pretty sure that was sarcasm dude—aimed at the ridiculous airliner excuses for why they couldn't fly her. this site is pretty much all about NOT body snarking the victim. also, how could that be keeping 'PC credentials intact' if she had been serious?

idk maybe this is because I was too young to really pay attention to the 2000/04 election (too busy with marching band?) but it always seemed to me like people hated Bush the way people hate Mel Gibson—y'know, a sort of flip the tv the bird when he's on, eye rolling, can't wait for the next election because WTF…

<3 you :D
