Yeah, that woman was a horrible racist jerk, but a beginner pointe class should have teenagers in it, and she was preparing to give that entire class terrible foot problems for the rest of their lives. I took ballet for years and never had a pointe class.  I’m sorry you spent years feeling that dance was not for you.…

Toe heads become no-neck football players.  You’re thinking of tow heads.  The word “tow” in that phrase is what they call flax drying in the sun, and flax drying in the sun turns whiteish.

This is my all-time favorite Karl Rove article; it may amuse you too: https://www.theonion.com/rove-resigns-to-spend-more-time-in-shadows-1819569537

Because it’s SO flattering to be the object of obsession of a deranged nutjob.  They oughta try it sometime.

I’ve been stalked by the same asshole since my sophomore year in college. I’m old now. This was before anyone gave a shit about stalking. It was seen as funny. The Dean of Students laughed at me and said she wasn’t worried that he was following me around and sending me things because she thought he was just a weirdo.…

Ever notice how Republicans are all shouty about corruption and bad things happening in DC, and then you look at tables showing the number of people convicted of corruption during each presidential administration, and the Republican administrations all have numbers in the hundreds and the Democrats all have numbers in…

I went to my GP a few years ago, and she had a thing sitting on the counter with questions and levers you could move to show your answers and it at the end it would indicate whether your testosterone was too low. I read the questions and moved the levers and it turned out that my testosterone was too low for a man my…

Food standards are higher all over the world. The U.S. may be the only place we’ve accepted the tradeoff of bad food for food that can be easily transported. The only example I need to give is tomatoes. Real tomatoes are so good, and the plastic blobs they sell in the grocery store are so tasteless... but they can…

I’m not sure it qualifies as worst, because I loved that car, but I learned to drive on a old 1972 VW Bus. Shifting from 1st to 2nd was nearly impossible if you hadn’t put at least 100 hours of driving around town and shifting in and out of second gear and learning how. It wasn’t just moving the lever from up to down,…

Uh... thanks for the Cyrillic alphabet words? Was I the only person who had to translate those before I could figure out what the article was saying? Does everyone else who read this article speak Ukrainian or Russian or whatever that was? It’s like watching a foreign movie without subtitles. But if nothing else, I’ve…

Fuck all the way off.  Jews can be any race.  “Jewish” is not a race.  Go jerk off to your pictures of Hitler.

That depends... if they’ve started it again because they’re the racist jackasses, then I have a big problem with that.

I was astonished when I moved from New England to Virginia and discovered that there are people who aren’t aware that the Civil War ended in 1865.  They’re still fighting it.  They’re also racist jackasses, and that’s why they can’t give it up.

Strom Thurmond, anyone?

A lot of them just believe whatever Darth Cheeto and his minions told them.

The easiest and fastest way to remove a sticker is with a straight-edge razor blade (usually in a holder) held at a shallow angle, almost against the surface you’re trying to remove it from. That’s problematic, though, because if you’re accosted by an asshole or even the specific asshole who placed the sticker, you…

Oh, but you see, middle-aged women are past prime fucking age for self-absorbed men, so they’re useless, and anything they might find interesting is a waste of time.

I’m sure she meant that she was a “pretty normal girl”, not a “pretty, normal girl”. Punctuation and grammar really do matter.  To use the standard example, it’s the difference between “Let’s eat, Grandma” and “Let’s eat Grandma”.

I’m so sorry you and your son had that terrible experience. And I’m sorry it seems to be coming back and affecting your son now.

Medical personnel seem to be taught that non-medical people are incapable of knowing and/or reporting on situations that are problems. Doctors wouldn’t listen to me when my mother developed a pulmonary embolism, and it delayed life saving procedures for two days. By that time, things had progressed to the point of no…
