Man, I would be so afraid to end up in a Brokedown Palace type situation that I feel like I’d be checking my bag every five minutes.

I love you for this comment, and now that song is in my head. Get it, Rob Halford!

Amen. I am soooo over people doing coke. I keep thinking I’m old enough to no longer be encountering them too, but I keep being wrong.

This reminds me that I recently learned my mom has no concept of what it’s like to fly post-9/11. Like, I give her a little bit of leeway because she’s only flown once since 9/11, but she freaking asked me to bring a full size bottle of booze on a plane recently (we live in different parts of the country, so we have…

I think that’s a perfect way to describe it. Also, I think the environment on a comedy set is just a little weirder than other places. Like, Tina Fey wrote in Bossypants that the pee jar episode in 30 Rock was a thing comedy writers she worked with actually did.

Good to know! That makes me happy. :)

Oh geez! I feel like I’ve been hanging around here for too long that not only is that the first reason I thought of, but it turns out to be true too lol. *insert Wayne’s World “we are not worthy” gif since Kinja hates me when I’m at work*

Btw, why are a Fake “Doctor” now? I feel like there could be an amusing run-in with a troll story here?

I second that and all of the hashtags! No wimpy fucking Scrabble, people! I’m the opposite with Scattergories though. I believe Scattergories should be silly, and I will throw a mofo out of a Scattergories game for getting bitchy and cutthroat. Like, a friend of mine just wrote “penis” down for all of the categories…

AGREED. It’s Scrabble. It’s supposed to be freakin hard and have stringent rules. Or maybe my household growing up was just too serious about Scrabble. If I were to play with my grandma today, she wouldn’t let me put “ridic” on the board no matter what the Scrabble people say.

Nice that she was able to use the traumatic events of her childhood to inspire a career of bullying other people about their appearance.

Love this. I would love to see it in relation to casting directors and produces too so we can see who in the industry is doing age appropriate pairings and who isn’t. Looks they whoever worked on most of Tom Hanks’s movies did a pretty decent job of it.

Yeah, the double standard is just so damn glaring. I mean, look at Brad Pitt and Johnny Depp in the last few years. They look increasingly unkempt to the point of being good candidates for a fun game of “hipster or homeless?”, but their costars must be super fresh-faced 25 year olds. Anything less than perfect…

Uhhh, actually I’m pretty sure nichmd was just referencing this and not trying to tell us about his boner (at least I hope that’s the case):

You’re not a freak! You’re smart! I always have coworkers that say that would quit in a heartbeat if they won a million in the lottery. Um, a million isn’t even close even to stop working forever if you have decades of life ahead of you, even if you’re frugal (especially after taxes on the winnings). They never…

First off, thanks for posting! I had a bit of a freakout after reading this article and was beginning to feel like dumping all my sunscreen and getting new ones. Since you are clearly way more informed than me about this, what would you recommend I consider when it comes to purchasing sunscreen? It is true that if…

THANK YOU FOR THIS! I’ve been freaking out about this article since I read it. I am a liberal applier of sunscreen. I make sure it’s broad spectrum, I make sure there’s a stabilizing agent for the UVA protectant, etc. And now I’m all freaked out that I’m going to get skin cancer anyway. So thanks for making me wig out…

So hot as Principal Wood.

Yeah, it’s rough. It also seems like the longer that cheap, unsafe labor is the status quo, the harder it is for companies to be able to figure out a way to be both budget friendly for consumers and conscious at the same time. Not saying that it’s not possible or that they shouldn’t strive for it, but rather that…

Another documentary along the same lines is Schmatta, which examines why/how the New York garment district disappeared. I haven’t seen it since it came out (in the days I had free HBO *sigh*), but I remember it being pretty good.
