It probably is. Think super-beloved.

Yes, yes, yes, a thousand times yes. There's a super popular writer who all the nerd girls swoon for who I know first hand is a predatory narcissist, at best. He's created this saintly image for himself that makes me sick.

Me too! It's weirdly un-specifically specific. Like, "that water was SUPER tepid" does not compute.

You could say "it doesn't add up but I'll give her the benefit of the doubt" but you insist on saying "It doesn't add up so I say she's a total bullshit fraud". Do you see how your bias is showing? It's showing pretty fucking hard.

It's exactly the qualities of her story being non-linear and messy that makes it believable, IMO. People who are making stuff up try to iron out all the illogical bits. Real life doesn't follow the plot of an after-school special.

Yessssss. I want everything Edith Head ever designed for Barbara Stanwyk, plz.

Good thing that isn't what happened here!

But wait, how does that jibe with all wanting to be J. Law's bff? I'm so confused.

Manara is a legend in the French erotic comics business and the pairing of him and Marvel was a very weird one from the beginning, IMO. He probably got a kill fee for his work and will go back to the career he's had for decades without a Marvel paycheck.

Yup. No legit Massage Therapist would call their office a parlor, and they definitely wouldn't name it First Name's Golden Touch.

My vet came to our crappy little apartment and it was the best possible thing we could have done. My cat hated going to the vet. Even for a routine checkup when he was healthy he'd be pretty much paralyzed with fear the whole time. It would have broken my heart a thousand times more than losing him, to put him in…

Me too. People that charismatic, charming, and able to twist people around their little finger make me leery.

Really? Everything Bill Murray says isn't 100% serious? Get the fuck out of town! I had no idea it was an attempt at a joke until you helpfully informed me. Thank you.

I bet if I heard his delivery I might be okay with it. He doesn't always transcribe well.

See above where I mention the lack of funny. Saying "It's a joke" doesn't magically make crappy things people say in "jest" okay.

I love Uncle Joe so, so much. Reading that just made little hearts and stars fly around my head.

Ugh. I love Bill Murray with all my heart and will watch almost anything with him in it (I can't bring myself to sit through Garfield, sorry.) but the Robert Palmer thing? Not funny, and not cool.

That's a pretty fucking broad generalization there, and you might be insane if you think you can know that with certainty. I bet you one bajillion dollars there are dudes out there who've been beaten by their boyfriends who are following this story and they give many, many damns.

Even if she was saying that, he had no reason to think she could. Those words would be completely, one hundred percent meaningless without some method of backing them up. That punch was like using a stick of dynamite to "defend" yourself from a fly swatter.

The Beach Boys is my absolute favorite. Some of them try WAY too hard and put in too many "funny" noises, but I can absolutely believe that's what the real soundtrack to I Get Around was like.
