hmm, so hard to choose.

Don't know if I'm up for a full telling of any of my many roommate horror stories, but here are some highlights:

He's a Snuggle/Mr. Winkle love child.

@missbananafish: I'm getting out my tissue box shoes and joining you. I live in fear of getting that parasite that makes you into a cat lady.

Ok, how did vomiting feces not make it to the top 10?

Got such a huge response to my botfly comment with video:

@dcgen: When you first mentioned the iron I pictured you all ironing your heads to kill the botflies. Yeah, I'd be ironing my drawers, too. Yikes.

@toxic: I'm scared. Maybe later.

You want gross, nightmare-inducing, horrorshow? Go to youtube and seach on "botfly." One example in the reply.

Also, the meaning of "old bag," slang for an unattractive older woman, is the post-menopausal atrophy of the uterus. So, you know, she's repulsive and scorned because she's no longer fertile and fuckable. Unlike the other option, who is both "skinny and stacked," which suggests a certain rare body type or a dieter

@Awry: Yikes! I am a bit shocked that that was still happening in '76. For my grandmother it was the 90 some years ago.

@badmutha: Or they were lefties that were forced to write with their right hands, like my grandmother. They don't do that anymore, but it was common practice.

@erinna: "Saturday Night" made me think of songs about Saturday.

@pssshwhatever: What's shocking to me is that looking at the clothing offered for fat women (I'm a 20/22), you'd think there was such a thing as a fat aesthetic. But fat people have just as varied tastes as everyone else! I have a sense of personal style and I don't want to have to look like a soccer mom every day.

@mynamebackwards: I just ordered something from ASOS for the first time. Although I did wind up returning it because it didn't look quite right on, I was really impressed with the speed of the shipping and how easy it was to return stuff.
