This is like the most #basic wedding I've ever heard of, except more expensive.

Jesus, my faith in humanity is slowly whittling away.

Jeez. I don't know how these people made it past the age of like, 12.

Yes I was - I just didn't know how to get suction.

Oh god, that is bad. You think her parents would just lose it at some point and be like "here! do it yourself!"

My husband's friend (late twenties, uber-rich parents, works at his dad's law firm) didn't know how lemonade was made. He was perplexed when he saw me juicing lemons and adding water and sugar in a pitcher. He thought all lemonade was made in a factory.

Her plaits look really sleek - I want them

Well, that's it - I like some pranks (like the time my dad put a giant stuffed brown bear out in my grandma's yard and of course when she woke up without her glasses and saw it, we got a lovely 4:00 a.m. worried phone call until she put her glasses on), but others are way too much. This one (and his reaction) is on…

I actually encourage these to jags to stay together, just so they don't go out and infect the rest of the dating pool

Especially since the mentally ill are more likely than the average person to be victims of violent crime.

Yeah, I find it kind of scummy that people are calling the paparazzi about her.

My friend, a Communist journalist, told me the other day that if you remove the vowels from 'Reince Priebus' it becomes 'RNC BS'.

As someone who felt they were totally unprepared for babies, I can tell you that you know more than you think.

Jesus, that poor kid. And no, please don't tell the kid that. I don't even know these two parents and I want to smack them.

Sorry to hear about your loss - that is really tacky on behalf of the church worker.

OMG those illustrations!

Yeah I had someone from a crazy anti-abortion league get all up in my face while I was extremely pregnant to thank me for 'making the right choice' outside of my OB/Gyn's office. If I wasn't unreasonably large and uncomfortable (and gestating) I would have seriously considered punching him in y'know "self defense".

Good for you in being a clinic escort! Please share with us if/when you get plastic fetuses thrown at you.

Yeah - I also noticed that Wednesday is the day the Quiverfull families (which I didn't know were on the east coast) come in to town. I sit outside the museum of art on my lunch break to read, and one family was so nice to point out to their be-skirted daughters that I am what a sinner looks like, with my knee-length…

And to answer the second question, no it is not quite as bad as Song of the South.
