Exactly. He thinks that framing something as a joke means we can't judge it. Sorry, Rush, but speech is speech, whether or not its played for laughs (which, by the way, this definitely wasn't). If you make a joke calling a woman a whore, you're still calling a woman a whore, and people have the right (and duty, I'd…

Well, in his mind, both your uterus and a sneaker are there to hold much more important things.

Yup! Iowa, UT Austin, and U Mass Amherst as a back up.

Oh, and of course, have SO MUCH FUN.

Dear God, that vid brings back high school memories. We were nerdy Midwestern band kids, though, so our musical exploits included making up an opera about our math teacher. PotAto, potAHto.

Agree with TreatYoSelf. The earlier the better. And check out their venue online/ ask people about it beforehand. There's a venue called First Ave in Minneapolis that is about the size you're talking about. You can line up on both sides of the doors, but people don't realize that, so they always line up on one…

I haven't, but I looked at it based on your comment, and I'm applying now!

Yup, Milwaukee has a similar program. I know a few kids who take advantage of it - free busing from anywhere in the city (to keep you at the same school), breakfast and lunch at the school, etc. Some places send food home in the kids' backpacks so they'll have something to eat over the weekend. There are even…

What? Lindsey went out "a few months ago"? So who's this at the Purple Magazine party during Fashion Week, her doppelganger?

Bret's excited because he just figured out he's a Muppet of a man (not a very manly Muppet).

Oh, okay. Gotcha. I'm with you and MissNThrope on that, though I'd have to read the study to see exactly what was said.

I'd say it's more "parents are unconsciously socializing their children differently" than "it's all the mom's fault." Since mothers are still the primary caregiver more often than not, it becomes a problem for the mother to address, fair or not.

Ha! I do the same thing. Clothing: always optional.

It really is the best thing in the world.

Not weird at all. Do it!

Hi! I'm not on a date, either. Welcome to the dark side.

I wouldn't. I don't live in NYC, but I visit often. One day I walked from Columbus Circle down to Soho in 2.5 inch heels, and bruised a bone in my foot. Bad. Times. Plus, getting up and down subway stairs (and the off chance that it could snow) make it even more risky.

The rumor is that the editor of Gawker thinks they have too many commenters, so he's asking people to off themselves voluntarily. Whether this is true or not, I have no idea, but it's a pretty brilliant plan.

I like to be boiling hot all the time. I do not control the heat in my apartment. Therefore, tonight, I was sitting on my bathroom floor reading W with my hairdryer pointed at my feet when somebody knocked on my apartment door. Nobody EVER knocks on my apartment door. I turned the hair dryer off, jumped up, ran…

Very fair point. Let this be a life lesson to both of them, I guess?
