So you totally approve of branding a screaming, frightened animal, but only if it's a human being who's done something you don't like?

I wish I knew someone who put up a lock like this so I could go cut it down and drop it on their doorstep. How is it possible there are this many adults out there thinking this is charming or romantic enough to have made this a worldwide phenomenon?

On the other hand, I think it's cruel to propose to someone in public and put that kind of pressure on them in the first place.

WITH A BAG OF GARBAGE NEXT TO HER! The plan to get drunk and propose on the rickety paddle boat with garbage right next to your intended with a loosely held expensive ring was a completely crappy proposal plan. I'm not sure if she really knocked the ring out or the ring refused to be part of the whole mess of a…

Hmmmmm...I am an older type chickie, and in my experience, when a guy says "I don't want to break your heart," what he means is, "I would like to be held responsible for breaking your heart, so can we please have sex but not a serious relationship?" :/

The cat on the counter was hissing before the other cat jumped up there.

I think if the proposal is really public, like one of the ones at sports games in stadiums, then I'm okay with saying yes in the moment and then saying no later. It saves a lot of really public embarrassment for both parties. But I also think that that element of coercion ("say yes or he'll be so embarrassed!") is…

Maybe some men propose publicly when they want the extra pressure to guarantee a "yes" because they imagine a woman can be pressured into a lifelong decision like marrying someone she doesn't really want to marry.

If you want privacy- don't use "The Cloud!" because as we have seen...THIS HAPPENS!

public proposals are THE WORST.

Especially when the misfortune is so, so easily anticipated. This isn't even a boat. It's a series of floating chairs. And he doesn't have the ring in a box, just gripped loosely in his fingers. With a bunch of drunk people. It's like he wanted it to happen.

Yeah. I used to think "ugh, cheezy doofus" — but then I saw The Town and that is a pretty goddamned good movie (which he stars in and also directed and co-wrote).

no idea why! best guess: he was a douche.

Because that outfit is awesome.

And to think how many butt cracks I've seen in the last 20 minutes on this SoCal beach. Well the times, they are a-chaaaaaaangin'.

I would wear any one of those suits up there, though preference would be given to the two worn by the women standing on the left. LOVE.

chickabae?

a guy once put a kraft single on my ceiling and then called me later to ask if I had noticed it. I made him come back over and remove it; it took off some of the paint.

A good friend of mine lives in Boston and walks to work (research position at Harvard, no less) and frequently texts me about things that happen on her walk, photos of interesting things, etc.

What's wrong with "m'lady". It's even in my tinder pick up line: "I'd tip my fedora to you If I passed you on the streets... m'lady"
