Oh my. I LOVED that book as a child and had no recollection of this part. The inappropriateness apparently went right over my head as a child, but I can’t believe my dad didn’t pick up on that.

She was pretending to forget them to joke about how famous/talented they are. I guess also funny to pretend not to remember your cast mate’s name.

Yeah, you’re right. My knee jerk reaction was a little humorless.

Right. Except the part where I am supposed to believe that there are current high school kids who know who enough about 90's music to know who Lit and Fuel are, but are not particularly familiar with Weezer (who, unlike the others, were actually charting in their lifetime).

What the hell, Rachel Maddow??? What, is Nevada the official “dress like your favorite rapist” primary?

I love this game! The 2008 version has the most adorable version of George W. Bush I’ve ever seen. It opens with him packing to leave the White House and he gives a box a little kick. I had no idea I could think that man was cute, but cartoon W kicking that box is just the most adorable thing ever. (I can’t find a…

Shouldn’t they also have to swear that it will only be used in instances where they intend to procreate and will not be used for immoral, recreational sex?

Anyone else tired of being labeled a bad feminist for not supporting Hillary? I don’t think Hillary supporters are stupid or bad or whatever. Why is my feminism called into question repeatedly because I am not on board with Hillary? I would LOVE to see a woman in the White House. I’d be a happy, ugly-crying train…

Children are literally dying because we’ve cut back to the point where basic needs cannot be addressed at school.

Me, too. Funny, considering your name, but another bit of advice I give my imaginary daughter is to tell her how interesting math and science can be. All the time. Even though I have a humanities degree and never did particularly well at either subject. I always wondered how well I could have done if I hadn’t been…

Anyone else get the feeling that Mary Kate is so distant and old lady eccentric/stylin’ already that she’s going to outlive everyone? Bob Saget, John Stamos, Joey whatshisname, crazy religious sister AND crazy meth sister... and maybe even Ashley. Despite her early health issues, I’ll place money on her Grey…

That is just amazing and well deserved! I’m from the Pittsburgh area and loathe him.

I am going to choose to believe that this is Debbie Harry because of the X recording that starts with Exene saying something like“I met Debbie Harry last night and she was really snotty to me!”

I just keep picturing those cardboard boxes that the gloves come in and what they will look like when you need to have them all over the kitchen because everyone needs them all of the time. Those boxes would be wet, bacteria ridden shells by the end of one busy shift.

Look, they wouldn’t be called “small appliances” if you weren’t supposed to put them in your bag and carry them around in case of emergencies.

I was actually going to go with the pie story because the author suggested that the woman was on meth when she could have had some medical condition that left her unable to taste the chocolate pie... or necessitated ordering a whole pie to be eaten immediately. Or a mental health condition and you shouldn’t assume…

This almost makes me want to make it my mission to choose the most indefensible story next week and try to construct the best argument I can for why offending party is correct. It’s like a gauntlet has been thrown! Is this how trolls are born? (Joking, I deal with mean people all day. Being mean and arguing on the…

I did, too and I have NO IDEA WHY! I’ve known bros like that and been downright gleeful when something doesn’t go their way. Maybe it’s just that the guy’s behavior is just SO insecure and oblivious, it’s just sad? I think author of the story even sort of felt that way initially (with the description of how he tried…

I may be wrong because I don’t know what state you are in, but I don’t think that’s a law. Because driving is not the only liability/safety issue for the bartender. They could also be held liable if, for instance, a person became so intoxicated that they peed on a neighboring house, threw a brick through the window…

As soon as I saw that story, I shuddered, knowing that was going to happen.
