@Pearl Forrester: Good lord I cry at the end of RotJ EVERY TIME. My husband thinks it's cute, too.

As soon as you start to dissect a joke, the funny is gone. The town hall guy made me laugh.

@TRexstasy: This made me die laughing.

@scarletbegonia: I also have an Emily best friend, and she is the sweetest gal ever.

Not that I've ever been confused by a penis, really, but the advice is still sound. I don't want to be taken out of my sexy mindset to think about angles or lube or speed. Just stick it in me, sir. We can work out the rest naturally.

@judgingnora: AND they made fun of that phenomenon on The Simpsons when Lisa Kudrow did a guest voice as a snobby girl. She said "DMY" to them, they all looked confused, and she explained it was "Don't Mess Yourself."

@RosemaryF: Good lord, I almost ran from the room screaming after that.

@GirlFailer: Wow. Thank you for that!

@otherginger: And she went down like a warrior, too!

@Red Parchment: Oh, yeah, and the movie is set in pretty much the exact same time and place as Mad Men - 1963 in New York.

I watched it last night for the first time in a loooong time, and realized (in between missing Patrick Swayze) what a solid, nuanced movie it is. It's not preachy, really, it just lets the events unfold in the context of this period before all political hell breaks loose. Baby experiences all of this during the summer…

I tried to write a cohesive comment three times, but the angry makes it hard to type.

@Kerplunky: Exactly. You can get quite a bit done - and quickly - if you don't think about privacy, ethics, or common decency!

@leytpr4: That part made me cry! I have the same childhood memories of the song and video, and to see her doing it with him made me just so sad.

She liked the boobs because she could toss them aside at the end of the day! If we all had the option of putting on our boobs for appropriate occasions (nice dresses and tops, evenings out, impressing potential partners) and put them in a drawer for other occasions (meeting the parents, job interviews, rock climbing)…

@TheUptightMidwesterner: Something I learned this week - he SURVIVED a plane crash, too! He was laid up in the hospital for months with a broken back. I mean this in all seriousness: if I were a Kennedy, I would be reeeeeal nervous when flying.

@Helen Valentine: Ding ding ding. Issues of vanity I might lie about ("yes, those pants look fine, let's just go!) but in general I find we're both happier if we're honest about what we need or want. And, like you said, we can both tell when the other is lying - I don't even think we try to hide the fact that we're…

This horse shit was on MSNBC today, too! Granted it was during Dr. Nancy's hour of medical hysteria, but I was shocked nonetheless. Cankles!? Really? Is this because Obama's on vacation?

@babzie: I was thinking the exact same thing! Oh, Mariah, you so crazy.

@LucyRed: I heard something like "twelve casualties" in a very (ahem) casual tone. Maybe it was the wine.
