Yes, what is this world coming to when employees can refuse service to customers simply based on their own religious beliefs? I’m assuming, of course, that next he’s going to go after the pharmacists and pharmacy techs who refuse to supply customers with birth control and Plan B. Right? Riiiiight?

Ya know what, I’m a “foodie” (god I hate that word), so I should HATE Sandra Lee, but I don’t. I really don’t. Because, for most of this country, that’s as much “cooking” as you’re gonna get people to do, and its better than nothing, and quite frankly, I’m tired of all the classist shit people heap on her for not…

“No one cares about your fashion boner.” Thanks for that, I’m gonna use it next time the former model at my office gives me a snooty-ass look for being 50 and fat and wearing a skirt that shows my knees.
p.s. I love a nice maxi dress, preferably cotton, and especially in the summertime.

holy fuck if I read one more thing telling me the only option for dressing a non-skinny figure is some variation of 50s pinup and listing Christine Hendricks as inspiration, my head will explode i swear to god

Also, if you get your nails done by a professional, you are an elitist bitch supporting the caste system. Gawker rocks today and it’s not even 10am in CA :(

How about no.

You probably get pedicures while sitting on a throne like a queen, too!

For you to say that people only go to manicurists because doing their own nails is “beneath them” is disrespectful to the skill those technicians have. I have very weak nails and get gel wraps and polish around once every six weeks; it costs me over $100 and is absolutely not something I could do myself. My manicurist…

I don’t understand the idea of a type of work being “demeaning.” What does that even mean?

It’s only that way if you’re condescending enough to think that doing someone else’s nails is lowly, demeaning work that doesn’t deserve respect.

Man, Menudo really fell apart.

How dare you disgrace Helen! Surely she’d offer something a bit more healthy, like a potato with a side of bread. #oreoagenda

So much gossip about Kris’ reaction. Which I’m so torn about. On the one hand, she’s awful and she made millions by personally ensuring that gossip about her family was national news. On the other hand, nobody but she and Bruce know exactly how everything transpired and it goes against my feminist ethic to attack a…

Ugh, I’m sorry, that’s such bullshit. Now I feel like I gave you bad advice. You can have some of my white wine and ice cream if it makes up for it... (I don’t have a lot to offer)

Prolly gonna stay in the grays, because I am a lurker (always reading, never posting), but I had to post for this one! I was obsessed with Beck in high school, which was right around when Guero was released.

I guess you didn’t notice when I told you last week that the airline story is an urban legend that started going around via email in 1998? There’s a copy of it on snopes.com. Urban legends turn up in Pissing Contests quite a bit, so you might want to check your potential winners before posting them.

OHMAGAWW OK can I have a second go? I’ve had a few drinks and can’t believe I didn’t mention this one, The King David Bowie. I saw him in 2002 and my then bf and had good seats in about the 6th row. It was in Ottawa so the crowd was pretty lame (#sorrynotsorry) and The King David Bowie was singing a newer song and…

I’m disappointed that an obvious urban legend (it’s on Snopes, for Christ’s sake) was one of the three featured from last week’s Pissing Contest.

REM in 2004. It was their tour for their “best of” album. They were taking requests on their website. My husband told them how we listened to Automatic while we were dating and we used to swim at night together...Nightswimming, you know. Anyway, during the show a piano is wheeled out and Michael Stipe says that this…
