Staring at anyone is rude. Staring at other women is rude- and sometimes also threatening or harassing (not always, note the sometimes). Staring at other women when you are with a girlfriend/wife is rude and inconsiderate. Men are going to enjoy visuals, and they are going to check out other people’s bodies. Fine. I…

Oh yessss... And I lived in downtown Austin around the time that pre-bongos, pre-AIDS role Matthew McConaughey used to sometimes jog about Town Lake with pre-scandal Lance Armstrong, and oh my god...

Yeah, my man too. I’m always asking him, “what about that girl?” etc and he hasn’t noticed her. It’s always surprising to see who he finds attractive. He’s got such a range, and it’s really hot b/c usually he is attracted to the sort of women that I think look super cool . Or else maybe he’s intentionally selecting…

Well, I check out guys. But if you do it in a really obvious way, most of the time the guys will come hit on you. Which is great if you are wanting the attention, but if you just want to be able to sit back and stare, they are unlikely to leave you alone. As for checking out guys when I'm with another guy (a buffer…

Well to be fair, everything I currently know about the Muppets, I know from my sis-in-law and step-mother, both of whom currently have small children in their life. I thought they were on Sesame Street now? But yes, I thought they got married at the end of one of the older movies, but now that you mention it, it…

Yes. Her new persona should be Miss Piggy: The Cougar Years.

Gotcha! Yes but it's a great reference. My fault for not catching it and deflating the humor. I could tell there was something I was missing, ha ha.

Ha ha ha! I don't know why this is so funny, but it is. What is it about Ben Carson that makes that image so funny? It wouldn't work half as well with any other candidate.

This year, I'm sure they'll be in go-go skirts. Probably high on meth, too.

I know. Sometimes I try to step back from myself and view our culture as if we were anthropologists from another society coming in with no knowledge or context. “And then the cadre of lower class kitchen servants donned plastic latex covering (so as not to infect the wealthy ruling class’s food) and gathered together…

Yes, he does wiggle just like that! Great descriptor!

Yes, I love it when it's got orange in it. I've never tried it with brandy too. Sounds great, thanks for the advice!

Why are you anticranberry on Thanksgiving then? Just curious. I mean, if you like it on turkey, what's the reasoning here?

I hear ya. We're pretty health conscious, but not on Thanksgiving and Christmas, nor on the 4th of July, nor at crawfish boils or Halloween parties. The kicker is that you feel like shit after most holidays if you eat the unhealthy stuff, so the trick is to limit consumption. Which I'm not good at, and it takes a lot…

Oh yes it is.

I like Sanders. I’d love to pick his brain at a normal dinner, but I wouldn’t want him at my Thanksgiving table. So much potential for argument with my extended family! And he seems like the sort that raises his voice a lot without realizing he’s doing it- gets really into what he’s saying.

I think you must have a list of these sitting around, and then you just wait for Trump to do something stupid to use them. Don't ever have to wait long, fortunately.

You can see it on YouTube.

That's always been true. But this has nothing to do with being politically correct. If she were as nice and kind as him, there'd be no dramatic tension. But I disapprove of the choice to make her pine away. She should take her selfish, vain self and move on.

Yuck. I don’t have a problem with Kermit and Miss Piggy breaking up. But seriously, are we promoting a children’s show in which Kermit divorces his wife, gets with another woman, and his ex-wife (who has her own life and career) spends her time pining away and singing about him? That’s pathetic. The Muppets said part…
