I definitely consider blue-collar and labor-based work normal. This is normal for many of my friends... many of whom regret their visible tattoos because they can’t get jobs.

I did not mention dead kids. I don’t think I even mentioned mourning. Justin Bieber has a tattoo to “remember” his mother and last time I checked she’s not dead. But go on, keep lecturing me about making light of dead kids, because this is not going to end well for you.

I once broke up with a guy because he could not say the word ‘drink.’ “Would you like a beverage?” “I feel like a beverage.” “Mmm, time for a nice hot beverage.”

Yes! It’s one of those forgotten celebrity gossip classics, but it did happen. And I’m personally not sad for either of them.

I was watching a documentary about prohibition the other day, and apparently for a while the temperance movement actually got a program mandated for young school kids in multiple states that taught that the consequences of even one drink could include spontaneous human combustion.

Nailed it. No good can come of this, it’s just going to feed the crazies no matter what is in those documents.

Is it the right thing? Credible historians have said this isn’t likely to clear up the JFK conspiracy nonsense, it’s just going to make it worse. And while one can argue that “trade secrets” (and the people who practiced them) from the 50s and 60s are old and obsolete and no longer need protection, the stuff from the…

You just know that as soon as he gets word that Mueller’s coming down with the indictments, he’s tweeting “Aliens are real! I, as President, know this! And I have the proof!” (He won’t.)

Australian speaking! Ashamed to admit we are the birthplace of Hillsong. It is widely considered a creepy, cult-like money-machine corporation masquerading as a church here. I can confirm that plenty of Australian celebrities (more local TV stars, thankfully not our big international names... Chris Hemsworth was…

Maybe he covered the “son of god” tattoo because his lack of a belly button already made it clear that he was created whole, just like Adam?

Co-signed. I do not understand why tattoos are so popular... trashy as hell. I can’t think of anything I love enough (and I’m almost 33 not 23 like Bieber) that I’d feel confident saying, “yep, I’m going to love this symbol of x on my body my whole life” and I have a *child* that I love with all my heart! Let alone…

I don’t want to take away from the impact of the piece itself, but is anyone else a little bothered that the main image here is a pair of delicate little white legs in a giant scary black hand? Because...

My mum had a huge crush on George Michael when she was younger... AND on one of the Village People (I forget which one. She’s understandably reluctant to discuss it these days.)

I wonder if Frances has even seen the photos. It sounds like she wouldn’t want to. If so, this makes this case even worse somehow...

I remember a bunch of my (male) friends excitedly searching for the Daniel Pearl footage on the internet when that happened.

And the “wait, but why do I have to be half naked?” audition... don’t leave that one out of theatre and Hollywood’s amazing innovations!

Poor Lauren Holly. She was also married to Jim Carrey and that was definitely no picnic. I was Lauren Holly-adjacent for a while (my ex and a bunch of our friends worked on a project with her, we got to know each other a little) and while she was lovely in person she could certainly be difficult on set, but... I’d…

I’ve had a problem with kids and sports ever since I was in high school on a nerd’s tour of my nation’s capital and we visited the national institute of sports. Um, what were these six-year-olds doing flipping and vaulting in the middle of a school day? “Oh, they do school from 6am-9am, then train, then finish school…

Plus the US Supreme Court is not the world Supreme Court. Foreigners for Tomatoes as Fruit Forever!

I agree, it’s terrifying and there is no way they used it! I’m naturally blonde, but like most people it went from white-blonde to medium-blonde by the time I was 11 or 12. I vividly remember seeing ‘color stripper’ at our local corner store around that time (I am not that old, I just grew up in Australia!) and…
