Ya know, when I visited one of the countries in Northern Europe (sorry, I was in middle school and don't remember which exact one), we went out for dinner late one night. Outside of our restaurant was a row of baby carriages, with infants and young children asleep in them, while the parents were inside the restaurant…

Did you even see the owl carved into one of the trees? Madness-inducing.

Remember accessorizing with hideously mismatched socks? I never got into that, but my older sis did it religiously.

Jesus, just looking at the pictures I almost needed a paper bag. Twenty-six feet underground? No thank you.

That's real fucking funny, Monaghan. It's hilarious that developing countries don't have the necessary infrastructure to deal with sewage and trash! Jackass.

The two always contacted hotels ahead of time and refused to sleep in single beds. That's a bit more of a choice than a circumstance, don't you think?

Um, yes? I thought this was well-known? She and Mary Rozet Smith shared a bed whenever they were together. Jane wanted all the poems she wrote to Mary to be burned after her death, because she felt they were too personal and intimate.

Yes. The schools in my area charge a textbook rental fee, for all grades but kindergarten.

It was a joke. ;)

Apart from other issues - tailoring it to 15-16 year olds? Way too late. Girls start absorbing these messages ten years before that.

Oh my GOD. What in the hell?! That's unbelievable.

I can't deal with this list, so I'll just make this point - "frigit" beer is NOT good beer, unless you're talking about cheap American piss-water. Most beers should not be served ice-cold. You'd think a fucking BAR would know that.

Hmm. Surely there'd be another way to track poverty - reduced textbook fees?

Screw Fox News. I'm constantly amazed at the number of people who can watch that shit without screaming.

It's a cute show. Definitely above average for kids' television.

Ya know, there's plenty of other kids' cartoons that grown people watch, but none of them will get you made fun of like My Little Pony. Why is it totally cool for grown men to watch SpongeBob but they can't watch a cartoon about ponies?

I doubt she has much freedom to move. She's constantly surrounded by bodyguards, and I'm sure they're there to control her as much as to protect her.

Dodger?

I distinctly remember posters, plastic cups, erasers, slap bracelets, and a million other things with the New Kids on the Block slapped all over them. Plenty of merchandise, in other words.

Ah, gotta love those eighties toy safety standards! When my daughter was born my parents pulled out all my old fisher-price little people sets and we realized pretty much every damn thing was a choking hazard.
