1) Can someone explain to this old lady what "meet cute" means?

I do want to know, but also I don't.

But people don't pass their fiction novels off as real life. This woman is passing off her online persona(s) as real. Her word is immediately suspect.

I think being on a moving bus while the driver is being repeatedly punched in the head constitutes being "endangered" already. Might as well try and get it to stop.

I was thinking about that the other day. I just turned 40 a couple of months ago, and people keep telling me I look way younger than that. I don't think I do — I have creases in my forehead, laugh lines, I'm starting to get crinkles around my eyes, skin isn't elastic the way it used to be, etc. but there is so much…

No, that's pretty standard grammar.

OMFG.

I think its safe to say that anyone who is looking forward to this has never flown on RyanAir before.

I think they mentioned that the Enquirer gave them all of this guy's contact info.

No, it was for like a buyer's club thing — you give the $7K upfront and get all your purchases wholesale. There is a way you could make it work like if you were going to buy a few really big-ticket items that you knew about in advance (like furnishing a new house with all the furniture and appliances) but for a…

I've always wanted to try this, after reading through the Gallery of Regrettable Foods on lileks.com and almost peeing my pants with laughter. You amaze me. Well done.

Wow, I mentioned this in the BK thread on Gawker but it is 1000x more appropriate here. If someone harmed my grandma, I'd murder all responsible for the act and any cover-up and I'm reasonably confident that nobody would convict me.

Oh god the prank possibilities are endless....

She has very ... unusual ... taste in dresses.

You are operating on the assumption that this person wants to eliminate compulsory subjects because he thinks kids can learn better when they pick their own subjects, and has a strategy to provide educators who can instruct with skill in the subjects chosen or otherwise pursued by students themselves. That is not the…

High-five fellow Massachusetts Liberal!

Does he have a giant sign on his wall that says "FIRST PANTS, THEN YOUR SHOES?"

Oh, check. Yeah, I'm already annoyed about my hard-earned dollars being repurposed to prop up what is essentially a banana republic (i.e. the Southern and Mid-Western states). On the other hand, cheap labor pool! Welfare can easily be structured in such a way that it winds up being more cost-effective to pay…
