I love L&O UK so much, especially since they do focus more on the Crown Prosecutors.

My grandparent's neighbors had a girl who waited until marriage. That night her husband (who came off as a nice, quiet guy) beat the ever-lasting piss out of her, saying that she was 'his' now. Not good at all.

Yeah, the only thing about Santeria that is weird is walking by a church of Santeria at night (there was one by CCNY when I briefly went there) and hearing the animals sacrificed. Goats are some loud mo'fo's.

'Baba Yaga family' is making me laugh too hard.

I love the "Ask a Slave" videos.

I love "The Golden Era of Soup".

Especially since the essay portion is usually about something semi-controversial. Ours was on the Lakota Ghost Dance of 1890 (which I really didn't learn about in-depth until college).

I was a docent at a historical site when I was a teenager. The absolute bane of my existence are people who read books written by pundits who try to re-write history. I'm sorry, random Old Dude, but Glenn Beck has a very selective narrative of 18th century United States.

More importantly, what did the graffiti say? I want it to say something like "you're next" or "the time has come".

Desert-driving, car-fixing guy is my favorite.

Yeah I would love to see her hair up in this. She has a long, graceful neck and could pull off a bold updo.

That's awful - I hope at least her daughter got a good sex education in school, otherwise that is asking for trouble.

Yeah, I've said before that the only time two grown adults can use the terms "panties" or "down there" is during a consensual age-play scenario behind closed doors, if that floats their respective boats.

Yeah, it's disgusting. It reminds me of a caterpillar that smells like smegma.

My parents called it puberty, but my grandmother called it the change. Then again, she came from a strict Croatian household where menstruation was considered dirty. She literally buried her dirty rags in the backyard so her mother wouldn't find out.

To be fair, puberty is a disgusting word. It is just not aurally pleasing. Still, its better than "the change" which can be confusing since it describes both menopause and puberty.

My older brother's friends told me when I was young (I think they were like 10ish and I was around 4) that I couldn't play baseball with them because I didn't have a penis. I remember very loudly yelling "I WISH I HAD A PENIS!"

I know! I watching some Science Show with my kid and they said that Pluto isn't a planet. My heart broke a little.

That is really good. It sounds like you raised an amazing kid.

My parents (who are usually conservative) insisted that we learn to say penis, vagina, urethra, etc. in case we ever got hurt or abused or whatever. I cannot tolerate the amount of grown-ass people I know who use terms like "down there" or "coochie". If you are not mature enough to say the actual words for anatomical…
