Punniness was definitely one of the highest forms of wit (and I absolutely love it). It reminds me of the pun from Hamlet: "Do you think I meant country matters?"

Well, I wouldn't say that sex was a taboo topic, per se. I mean, there are LOTS of references to sex in books (which, in the Middle Ages, were usually meant to be read aloud to an audience) (fun fact: books pre-1500 are officially called incunabula!) (fun fact: the most extensive library in the Middle Ages probably…

Medievalist here. This is SUCH a 17th century book. Before the 17th century, women weren't allowed to be on top and the switch up only began happening in the 17th century (probably in the 16th century, too). I believe it had something to do with their belief about how women become pregnant (but I can't remember all…

Actually a senator is a congressman (or woman!) because both houses make up the Congress, but we generally tend to associate "congressman" with "representative."

I have to say that in some ways it's good she's been erased from the movie for the sake of her own future. I watched Pretty Wild and I've read up on the whole debacle (including the Nancy Jo Sales article), but I honestly don't remember Tamayo. Doesn't mean she wasn't mentioned (even multiple times, at that), but the…

This is definitely what Edward and Bella's relationship will look like in a few years.

Perhaps! If pregnancy is considered a "disability" and women receive insurance post-birth, then something classified as such by the ADA should have a similar effect. I just sat in on my company's insurance seminar, and it turns out that if I'm pregnant, I can receive money from short-term disability insurance up to 13…

That would be nice! I know some insurances offer reimbursements for going to the gym for a certain number of times in six months. For example, my company (of whose health insurance I do not partake), offers $200 for every six months where you attend the gym 50 times. For some gyms (like Planet Fitness) that would…

AMA? I mean, I don't really know what people want to know. I literally grew up in the film business, so I don't know what's common knowledge and what's not.

Reality TV is cheaper because we don't use the same expensive equipment as scripted (no film, and rare use of Alexas and Reds). We also don't pay people as much because unions haven't migrated to reality artists yet, such as producers, editors, etc and so they don't get the same rates as their scripted counterparts.

I'll answer them question by question. Please keep in mind that all my answers are general but there are many times when they deviate from such circumstances

Sure! What would you like to know?

In the case of the firing, we didn't restage the firing itself—just the aftermath of the girl telling her boyfriend about it.

I work on reality TV shows, and while there are multiple takes and such, the ones that are "docu-dramas" (like the Kardashians or RH), are supposed to be based on real events. On one of our shows for E, for example, one of our characters actually was fired and became engaged to her boyfriend in real life while we were…

Perhaps it does sell out quickly. I've looked in places like JC Penney and the closest I could find was the next-size-up equivalent, 34D (my old size). It's likely it just sells out quickly, which then raises the question—when is the best time to go shopping for a bra in order to find my size?

I'm a 32DD. It's very easy to believe.

This is the opposite of the problem the ladies in the article have, but I shop at VS because I can't find my size anywhere else! And on the rare occasion when I can find it elsewhere (because I really don't want to spend $50 on a bra), there isn't a good selection!

Yes, I understand that. I think he meant it in a way that the hormone wasn't essentially flooding my system.

Early on in the relationship with Mr. Shinada, I was the first to tell him that I loved him. However, he would get upset when I told him that within the temporal vicinity of us having sex. He would claim that I don't actually love him, it's the hormones that love him. So I had to wait a little longer, and during a…

I don't see what the issue is? I mean, is this the first time you've noticed this? Because it's used in many clothing stores. It's rare when it's not pinned. Is the issue with how skinny the mannequins are and that the clothes don't fit? I'm confused by this article. Is the point that sample sizes are too big? The…
