Buster Poindexter, is that you?

We need a new commandment: "Thou shall not attempt to own another person, even your own child."

@Atomic Bowling: Ha, I wish I had read all the comments first, because I just said the same thing.

Sigh. Melanie McDonagh is one more person who thinks that feminism is about women getting one over on men. I really feel sorry for all these people who think that romantic relationships between men and women are about who "wins." But despite feeling sorry for them, I really just wish they'd shut up.

@brightpeonies: That's why my shampoo is always acid green.

We're not Christian, but a lot of our neighbors are, and if my son had been invited to this with a friend as a child, I would have let him go, then used it to teach him about how others' beliefs are different from ours but it doesn't mean we can't all get along. (I used to let him go to vacation bible school with his…

@zpmadd: You could keep a pair in the trunk of your car in case the roads get icy!

Lavignes wobble but they don't fall down.

I don't eat fish for ethical reasons, but this is just exploitive. The stripper metaphor doesn't even make sense - she is working to entertain men, and fish are just minding their own business until they eat the wrong worm. It would have made more sense if it had been a person eating a huge, fake-looking sandwich and…

He just gets hotter every year, doesn't he?

Oh wow, I just figured out what negging is. I've had guys do this to me for decades, literally. A guy did it to me at Home Depot the other day, even. I've talked to my sister about it. I could not figure out why a guy would say something smartass and kind of mean to me, and I'd laugh and give him lip back, he would…

Supersoaker!

@ Majrhoulihan : You will enjoy it. Trust me. I had no idea.

I had a cat that used to drag everyone's socks around. She'd bring them into the living room in the morning and back to our bedroom at night, like cotton kittens. I'd warn overnight house guests to secure their socks but they never took me seriously and they always gave up a sock or two during the visit.

@ 18thCFox : You're on Jezebel, not Gawker.

I only clicked on this because I thought that was Moby in the picture with him.

I'm 5'3" and wear a petite and have thought about this a lot. I don't understand why, if I'm practically the average height for a woman in my country, I have to shop in a special department with less selection, and where the clothes tend to look like they were made for a little old lady. I don't think I'm especially…

I saw Ms Djoman's picture and hoped she was older than my grandmother, who is 94. This is awesome! (For comparison, my grandmother has 2 children, 4 grandchildren, and 1 great-grandchild.)

I love to cook, so much so that even though I'm a vegetarian, I've had conversations with people in the grocery store about how to cook fish and chicken-fried steak, and I don't mind. However, I don't even cook everyday. Sometimes I get takeout, or thaw something I made previously, or make something out of a box and…
