I think too, when someone is naturally very small, they see weight gain as more of a moral failing because they don't understand what it's like to be naturally chubbier. She spends a lot of time talking about how people need to have some willpower and exercise more, but I have literally, never seen her break a sweat.…

What she thought it was all about was that she was destined to be the bridge between Britain and Nazi Germany. Her family had connections to Churchill (in fact, Decca's first husband was Churchill's nephew by marriage, but maybe really Churchill's son). She felt she was uniquely positioned to bring the British around…

Curx, of course = crux.

As Sir Mix-A-Lot kindly explained, the curx of the booty is "an itty-bitty waist and a round thing in your face." And yes, I am well aware that "Baby Got Back" was before this girl was even born.

I love me some booty-positive songs, I hatehatehate this song and the accompanying video. On top of the faux-positivism you mention and the Columbusing, the girl cannot move, doesn't have a booty and is a general embarrassment (in my view).

I know. Right. I married a keeper there.

I watch Wheel with my dad during supper once a week. It's normally sort of hellish. A lot of the contestants are very square.

Oh my gosh. If you don't know what "Magic" is, you have to find it and listen to it. It's horrible. As Coldplay as Coldplay gets. It sound like a parody of a Coldplay song, as performed by Coldplay.

I am ambivalent. I have a female OBGYN now (and she is great!), but had a man before and that was fine too. I just looked at reviews of the clinic, assessed whether or not he had been there a while (and he had, more than 20 years) and assumed that if he was a creep he would have been weeded out of a clinic with only…

Right. I wasn't really into what Mayim Bialik had to say about the billboard for Grande's album that is (apparently) traumatizing her kids, but I did feel like this baby prostitute thing is what she was dancing around. I am fine with that judgment. It's a bit like the Britney Spears naughty school girl and her stupid…

I remember when George was George the handyman. What I didn't remember is that he and Nancy McKeon (JO!) had the same haircut.

"kway-sa-dill-ahs" was a very common pronunciation mistake in the wilds of Western Wisconsin in my youth.

Is her attempt here to get through all of that small talk messaging shit all at once? I mean, part of the fun of online dating (as seen through my friends, not personally) is that crazy period where people are messaging their lives and feeling this "amazing connection" while waiting for the bombshell weirdo moment.…

Thank you. I have spent the last 12+ years trying to explain what, exactly, is so horribly annoying about Cold Play. This. This does it. "Moaning quietly into a napkin about clocks".

Do not forget Northern cities vowel shift! Chicago is the locus of all that is shifty.

Just confirmation that Biden does, in fact, behave like a "cat-daddy uncle", as KiaJD suggested. That is all.

One of my brother's friends (a woman) was part of an Olympic medal winning team. They had an audience with Joe upon their return from London. He gave her the once-over, a wink and said, "strong and beautiful, you are the full-package, young lady." She said it should have been creepy, but it wasn't. She felt as…

"She really does not the world to know she's pregnant." BUT she really doesn't actually want to say it. She wants us to guess, because that's more fun!

I came here to say the same. I'm not really thrilled with people using animals as props, but it sounds like she was really concerned with how the snake felt and she didn't blame the snake for anything. Sounds like she was truly trying to work with the snake. I was especially impressed with her description of reacting…

My folks met and married really quickly. Inevitably, if I tell someone their story, there is this reaction like oh, this story is super-mega romantic because they just felt it and knew it was right.
