That is an *amazing* comment. I remember getting McDs one day in a food court, and next to me was a mother and her little boy, maybe three or four, and he had a cheeseburger. He took one bite and *burst into tears* and I mean tears of *sorrow* and kept saying "Its BROKEN! It's BROKEN!" and his poor mother could not…

Its me... Dave!

Not only is the park blocks from her house, it was *across the street* from where her mother was at work. The woman could probably peek out the front window and see her daughter from there. Man, I was riding my bike four miles away to play with my best friend when I was 10, and then we'd get on our bikes together…

Yes, I would defend her because kidnapping is the fault of the kidnapper, not the parent who doesn't put their child on a leash.

What did she do wrong, again?

I'm always curious to know what kind of response people who say things like that are going to get. The person who committed suicide is dead — they're not going to respond to any attempts to shame them into being not-dead. The only people those comments have any material impact on are the folks they've left behind,…

Seconded. I thought that's what weddings were for, to feed people and get them drunk?

I currently work at a farmers market and am now having to deal with all the organic-only locavore hipsters who keep asking us stupid shit like is our chard GMO. Not much call for GMO greens there, champ! They also get their noses out of joint when we say we're not organic, but the only things we spray are the…

Was it Big Edie and Little Edie by any chance?

You'd be safe as long as you say it that way, because we usually say "coffee regular". Regular coffee usually means "medium coffee"

+1. I say it "coffee regular" or "medium regular" if I need to be more specific!

Its a Massachusetts thing. Coffee regular ("regulah") means milk, two sugars or some approximation thereof.

So just drink with her. What's the problem there?

Grade [number] is how they say it in Canada too, or at least that's what I remember from watching DeGrassi High 25 years ago.

Smash Hits was the BEST! I loved that magazine (Star Hits in the US) it was such a perfect combination of snark and twee, my 13 year old self dreamed of writing for it one day.

Ah the soft racism of low expectations! Sorry, I call bullshit. You don't get a pass at being an asshole because you are part of a community that has been historically or even presently discriminated against.

This entire comment is pure magic.

I asked a fella about that, and his reply was "It only has to work once!"

I saw Hawk perform as Prospero in a production of "The Tempest" as part of a school trip when I was in high school. You could feel that piece of knowledge ramify through the audience of teenagers (Spencer For Hire had *just* gone off the air, I think the year before, so EVERYONE knew who Avery Brooks was) as we all…
