Love TED talks! There's some really fascinating speakers on that site.

@Justine: Kanye even praised OJ Simpson at that concert! Called him "amazing" & everything! What a fucking asshole.

RG: "Why do you wear pajamas when you're going to bed but you're naked the rest of the time? It doesn't make any sense."

@poires et poireaux: Now that's what I call a REAL Thanksgiving! I shall join in the festivities by eating an entire box of Girls Scouts Thin Mints by myself.

I know an American husband and wife who lived in Saudi Arabia back in the late '90s. They were there for a couple of years because of the husband's job. Not only could the women not drive, but they weren't allowed to walk around outside their homes unless accompanied by a man. The various American ladies often hired a…

@Mediokra: Nothin' wrong with that! Personally, my favorite part of the modern green card is the hologram on the back. The worst part is the interview you have to endure to get it. Oh, the things we do for love!

@Sophie (no longer) needs to study...celebrate!: I think Little Green Frog was just making conversation.

Every time the winter Olympics come around, this sport hypnotizes me. I don't understand all the rules, yet I cannot stop watching it.

@Furface: Exactly, Furface.

Susie, sorry, but I think you're back-peddling a bit. In your last post, you said the following.

@SweetSerengeti: That's what I was wondering. They don't have a dog yet. Does that mean they go out and scoop the poop of random dogs left by irresponsible owners?

Love Debra Messing, but the tiara has GOT to go. In my opinion it always looks wrong when anyone other than royalty wears a crown.

@Slumdog_Mamabear: I know where they live. I grew up around them down in the Bible Belt. Honestly, I'm surprised my mom hasn't mentioned seeing this because it is right up her street.

@brinkswomanship: Looks like "Wizards of Waverly Place" stuff. AKA Disney's pathetic attempt to get some money off of the Harry Potter phenomenon. Consider yourself warned.

That remix is made of win. As the kids say.

@maggeimerc: My husband is in the video game industry. His company did better than expected last year & the company is hiring. People still bought video games over Xmas, despite all the bad news. However, I'm afraid that sales will seriously dip over the next 6 months. Keep those fingers crossed.

@BrutallyHonestZombies: Not just "hand" singular, but "hands"! Plural!

Doesn't compute. None of it. Then again, I don't understand why there's an American version of The Office, either, so perhaps I'm just a curmudgeon.

@gerbilsoutofexile.anti-depressant free.not withdrawal free.: I got my first period on Christmas, too. I was 14. Luckily my mom got a back massager as a gift, which I hogged for the next couple of days. She was entirely sympathetic & didn't complain one bit ... unlike me. Definitely the suckiest Xmas ever.
