Those awful LGBTs want rights, but then they’re hypocritically doing normal things like engaging in commerce! I too am appalled!

His role in the incident? It looks to me like his sole role was having an easily accessible neck.

PINKHAM’S LAW!!! DING DING DING! We have a winner!

My mom frequently bought me boys costumes. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle one was the best by far. So, you *can*, but the issue is that little girls shouldn’t be getting the message that those things are for boys. They’re for everyone.

Wait, Biden??? You’re at the wrong party...

I thought it was boring. I think that people have been hyping it up forever and when I finally fell out of an airplane it wasn’t as fantastic as everything led me to believe.

Preach. A neighbor once did the whole “If you could live in another time, when would it be?” question as an ice breaker. Predictably, he (of course, he) said he would want to go to the 1920s. I bit my tongue to keep from asking if he meant pre or post October 1929. Obviously he wants to go to fictional Gatsby 1920s. I…

Right there with you. I watched The 1900 House on PBS years ago with fascination. You’re absolutely right. For women especially, that era was no picnic. She should also give up shampoo, deoderant, and hot water in her house.
