Speaking from personal experience, both as a lady and an air passenger, if you are the type of person that wears a bra try to avoid the underwire variety if possible. When travelling internationally I have found that there is no consistency regarding the sensitivity of the metal detectors, so even bras that have not…

The only reason I watch it when it's on TV (and then it's only the part where the ship is half sunk already) is to see the jumping dude hit the propeller.

Plastic trays and serving plates. You can take them to pot lucks and parties and not give a shit if they don't come back.

I've quoted this before on Jez, in a lipstick post, but the best recommendation I've ever come across was overheard (by me) in a restaurant bathroom. "This shit has lasted through half a pack of cigarettes, six shooters and a blow job." Or words to that effect. Never did find out the brand the lady was referring to.

Double post. Browser fart. (Although I could also say "Enough, gentlemen. I get it. You fart.)

"Enough, gentlemen. I get it. You get boners." Would be an apt reaction to most stand-up and sitcoms since the beginning of time.

Interesting. It's an intriguing possibility for sure. I kind of hope they don't go in that direction though.

Going to college is not selfish, it benefits everyone around you. It will also be of benefit to those you end up working with and for in the future, and depending on your job it will benefit a lot of people you don't even know.

"a bunch of extra toes" made me laugh. I'm glad she found a great home with you. I'm sure she was too.

I'm not easily offended. Often, when this sort of thing comes up I can see why something is offensive, why it should be revised or taken down, why it should be complained about, etc. but I don't get personally worked up about it. This, on the other hand, actually made me gasp, say "what the fuck," stand up, turn…

Nevermind. Nothing to see here.

Amen to that. The shea butter one is awesome.

"She also claims that she's not anti-birth control, she's just pro-freedom" What does that even mean?*

At certain times in history and always during election campaigns in the US it seems certain topics and issues get fetishized. I think that is what's happening to the public discourse surrounding Planned Parenthood. PP has come to mean so much more, correctly and incorrectly, than it really is. The right is…

Interesting. I did not know that, about the military training. Still, it seems like a method that would work in a pinch, if you happened to have condoms to hand, not something you would actually plan to do.

A fairly sensible list, it seems, for survival living. I would question how one would maintain power to both night vision goggles and a radiation meter, especially since he didn't mention batteries on the list. Also, carrying water in condoms is ridiculous. I wonder if the author of that list has ever tried. I…

Re: everyone's infected and Rick already knew because CDC guy told him: I think that Jenner (or whatever CDC guy's name was) did tell him that everyone carries the virus, but I think that Rick probably did not believe it, or chose not to. The two security guards encountered a couple of episodes back may have made…

Nope. Definitely not just you.

Yes, technically, anything can be cited in an academic paper. Determining if those citations are useful or appropriate is a different matter entirely.

Well, at least one person agrees with you. (That would be me, btw.)
