Crown Royal is a brown solvent that comes in an oddly shaped bottle in a blue velveteen bag. The bag is for your Scrabble tiles.

It continues to amaze me that some customers think that people who professionally make coffee drinks don’t know how to make coffee drinks. Like a barista doesn’t know how to make a cappuccino?

When I rule the world the punishment for snapping your fingers to summon a server shall be the loss of said digits. I can’t even read a description of someone doing that without a red haze descending across my vision.

Methshakes are like reason #105,972 down the list on why you should be thankful you don’t live in America.

Every day I thank the Lord that I don’t live in America

Yet another danger of ordering off of secret menus.

My mother is a forensic pathologist. She gets tons of request from curious people wanting to observe an autopsy (I guess because CSI makes everyone think it’s super interesting). Her response is invariably “No.” My mom does not perform an autopsy for the hell of it; she performs them in the interest of public health…

When I was studying anatomy in college we were taught to have the utmost respect for the bodies and body parts when touching and manipulating them, because someone who was once alive allowed us the privilege of learning from their remains. When we used lab animals for teaching purposes, we were called on to have the…

The best I can figure is that big game trophy hunters need to spend some quality time with a skilled mental health expert. Something just has to be broken inside if you see a large magnificent animal and your thought is I want to kill it just to watch it die.

Exactly. I don’t think she would be critical of women who don’t meet her physical excellence. She would be critical of any woman who doesn’t seek excellence on their own terms.

I have a 3 year old and a 4 month old. I get a lot of food to go. If we have decided to eat out, it’s only when both my husband and I can be there, and usually only for lunch as we’re less likely to have meltdowns. The agreement is if one child starts to cry or loudly misbehave, one of us takes the offender outside to…

I live in Maine and have actually been to this diner. I think the important thing to know about Marcy’s is that it really is a hole-in-the-wall. There are maybe 5 tables and one counter that might seat a dozen. It is tiny and cramped and hot (because the griddle is 3 feet from the counter), but the food is delicious…

You know what might be better than doing a little research? Doing a lot of research. Spending all day every day doing research. Even better than that would be first being trained in how to do research and interpret data along with years of classes on the subject matter.

You’re my hero now. *pushes line of Marvel figures off his desk*

Some quality domain squatting right there. Well done.

I’m much the same way. Human suffering? Eh, alright, that sucks. Animal suffering? Instant and unstoppable ugly crying. Black Beauty wrecked me every time I read it.

For anyone here who says vaccines are dangerous - the method used to produce vaccines has been studied for over 200, close to 300 years. Cars have been around for less. Microwave ovens have been around for less. VACCINES HAVE BEEN AROUND LONGER THAN HANDWASHING AS A MEDICAL PRACTICE.

Obligatory:

You sound like me, Esther. I loved Anne of Green Gables so much as a child that I forced my parents and my Canadian aunt and uncle to take me to Prince Edward Island one summer. I had a BLAST. I still have the special box set my parents bought me there as a birthday present.
