If I knew a guy were a blogger/journalist with any kind of significant (and likely largely male) audience, I'd think twice about telling him to fuck off, or even about just letting conversation drop entirely and blocking him. Because then, is he going to go post that to his readers? Are they going to pile on, as the…

"You know how that goes" was where I just reached rock-bottom in this. Bah. :(

It's okay to admit you're new here.

One of my coworkers was talking about how adorable it was that her friends named their son Jameson Petrovich. I asked if the Dad's name was James. She was confused. "No, why would it be?" "Uh... Peter?" "... No, why would it be?"

While this woman clearly sucked, it also sounds like she was misled by the people in charge. I mean, someone signed off on this nonsense, and that's the bigger tragedy because that means it happens a lot. "Desperate wannabe mom" just makes me cringe, though I know you are only talking about this specific person and…

Don't toss out the entire adoption "industry." The major problem is that plenty of organizations (including the government... ESPECIALLY the government) profit off of this system. It only ends up hurting the kids who need homes and the prospective parents.

You don't have to justify your choices to anyone, man.

If you're ordering a steak, grilled, from the menu, then you don't have a right to demand it's grilled until it's tender. You're not ordering beef stew or liquid-braised chuck, she ordered a steak. This isn't on them.

I... this... what? :( Just... what?

Strong take on the Take 5. I was in Arizona for vacation last year and picked one up at the checkout of a CVS. The very stoned kid behind the counter looked at me, gave me a daffy grin, and said "Like, awesome. Take 5s are totally underappreciated." If anyone knows their candy bars, it's stoned-ass kids in a part…

Bar none my favorite movie ever. Completely stolen by Kilmer, and I think his career was similarly stolen by the movie. How do you top it? Though Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang is spectacular.

Like spelling Holliday with two L's? :-|

Healthy adults have... what? I'm so confused.

I used to can beets with my family when I was a kid. Worst damned smell ever. I would stuff towels under my bedroom door so I had somewhere fresh to go to get a reprieve from the awful stench. Augh.

I went on a date from Match.com years and years ago. I walked into the restaurant and he had already sat down and started drinking. I greeted him and he responded by looking up at me and flatly stating "You cut your hair." I laughed it off and sat down, and he repeated it. Mind you, it wasn't like I went from…

Lunatics who watch too much frigging bridal tv, that's who.

Yup. We started with a piece of "hey, that's a nice ring" jewelry and had a jeweler custom make bands for it. And I could not love it more.

A friend of mine gave a dismissive sniff about my nontraditional ring, ranked it according to the "1/x of salary" or whatever the bullshit metric is that shallow fucking idiots use these days, and then said now that her husband had changed occupations (from teaching to law), she expected an upgrade to reflect his new…

I'm saying, if you're not aware enough to pull over once you hit someone, you're not going to give a rat's behind when someone behind you starts honking at you.

If nearly hitting someone didn't startle them into driving properly, what was honking going to do?
