I JUST went to an art opening featuring a kid who has decided to become a clown. The Q&A at the opening was all about how rigorous the study is. This particular clown just finished clown school and will be starting with Ringling Brothers pretty soon. He's 19 years old, and I think he has his sights set on Europe…

I have three degrees and have attended four institutions of higher education (three of which were / are considered elite, one is one of the best all around in the world). My husband went to the Marines instead of college. After that he's worked in pretty much every aspect of the music industry. He's back in school…

For further clarification, the law says 20 weeks AFTER fertilization, which means 22 weeks pregnant as defined by everyone else who counts pregnancy by weeks.

I've totally wanted a tent like this for years now. Not $9000 worth of want, but there's probably a market for it.

For a year or so, I participated the puppycam board (a forum dedicated to the SFShibas, http://puppycam.yuku.com/), and I learned a lot about them. Amazing dogs, but also, very person specific. Kudos on your dedication.

Shibas are generally described as "cat like". (see, just for example the first on the google search, http://shibashake.com/dog/shiba-inu-…, there are tons more.) So a lot of cat oriented people go for shibas thinking that they're getting a low maintenance, self cleaning aloof individual, when really, they're getting…

Yeah, we puli people are a little insane about who gets to have a puli.

Part of it stems from people seeing our dogs on TV or in a book or on a youtube video and deciding that they want one because "it looks cool." They haven't actually spent much time with a puli before, which admittedly is sort of hard since there…

My best friend and I saw it opening weekend in Houston. We were 19 and it blew our minds. Loved it, loved it, loved it.

I'm absolutely outraged. Nordic sports was my favorite part of the Vancouver games. My husband and I went to every obscure NBC channel we could to catch the various cross country, biathalon, and nordic combined events we could.

What is Dreamworld? I'm on 492 of the main game...

I'm on level 492. I'm JUST close enough. I've only succumbed to temptation once to buy a lollypop (level 410 sucks), and am proud that I've spent only $1.25 on this game. but I can't wait for it to be over.

It's called "The Muppet Movie."

Um, that's exactly what they did. Didn't you read their statement? Goldieblox sued them. http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/11/25/the…

No worries. I knew someone who went by the moniker of Wax Tadpole on another forum probably a dozen years ago. I hadn't seen the name and wondered if you were the same. I went by an almost identical moniker so I figured he'd recognize me.

By any chance do I know you from a previous Bronze colored life?

The bottom of their page says "Copyright © 2013 GoldieBlox, Inc." They're a company.

When I first saw the ad, I assumed that it had the blessing of the Beastie Boys because it was clearly use of their work.

This could have been really easy: Approach the band with the idea, pay the licensing fee, and then ask the band to donate to the kickstarter.

Goldieblox is a corporation.

I'm pretty certain that my husband would hunt down and seriously maim, if not kill, if this happened to us.

It's the twirl thing. Plus ruffles seem to be a critical component of square dancing attire. The crinolines can have up to 80 yards of ruffles.
