I WISH. I'm headed to the Sequoias next week for an 8-day backpacking/disconnecting/decynicizing (not a word) (should be a word) trip and was just informed all the rivers and streams in the area are gonna be totally dried up. I am BUMMED.

Ah, yes. I was wondering when someone was gonna start the pretentious "don't move to [my state], we already have too many [people from your state]" thread.

I don't know if it's the first time it was used, but I remember LOVING that character (omg SO quiiiirky) until I read this: http://www.videogum.com/288381/the-hun… over at Videogum, which lead me to like, 12 straight hours of reading the series. It may be the hardest I have ever laughed.

WHEW! Good thing everyone who hasn't heard the term let us know about it!

Random, one-month-late reply, I just got around to this article...

Please tell me English isn't your first language.

100% agree. I use Yelp to find everything, restaurants, bars, delis, grocery stores, auto mechanics, everything. It's especially helpful when traveling!

AMEN, SISTER. Yelper since 09 here. I'd like to think I fall into the most-of-my-reviews-are-4-stars-or-more crowd. The few places I've given the big ol' yellow one-star were straight up NIGHTMARE experiences. And, it should be noted, I've NEVER sent a dish back in my life.

I have a hundred or so reviews of places, mainly because I worked in the service industry for a decade and came to learn how much a bad/good review can affect a server. I go out of my way to compliment great servers and management with the hope (and assumption) that it will give them the acknowledgement they deserve.…

Wait, really? I love Yelp, even though I know it's kind of a scandalous business. I use it almost exclusively to give props to great servers and managers, though, since as a 10-year-veteran of the service industry, I know how much Yelp can fuck with your life.

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD THIS IS MY CHANCE! My favorite Yelp review EVER was from a guy who reviewed a Chinese spot in the San Diego Airport (already sounds delish, right?) called "Emerald Express." He was LIVID that the food was terrible, and stated that he couldn't believe it, "EMERALD LAGASSE WOULD ROLL OVER…

Same here! I will say though, in regards to the article, I've noticed this summer that I've been eating and drinking like a madman (birthdays, engagements, boredom) and though I feel crazy strong in my arms, glutes, and legs, I have put on quite a few LBs despite doing yoga consistently 4-5 times a week. Can't out…

AGREED! I take heated vinyasa classes and it feels FANTASTIC! Admittedly the class I take is more along the 95-degrees-plus-humidity lines, but intense sun salutations with sweat running down my boobs is my workout paradise (ew).

This right here! I go to a heated Vinyasa class (corepower, ugh, I know, etc), and although I'm sure the heat (about 95 degrees) isn't doing much for weightloss, it sure as shit makes me feel like a million bucks afterwards - and I've always thought flowing classes burn more calories than the holding poses type…

Afletes?

Raising your knees above your hips apparently helps with bowel movements. It's a more natural way to take a shit, or so I've heard.

how DARE YOU besmirch the good name of Turbo. A SNAIL. RACING. IN THE INDY 500. ARE. YOU. KIDDING. ME.

I am like a thousand days late to this post but I just had to share - "let's take an Ussie" was totally a quote on Veep last season!

I'm assuming that's a typo, or maybe you're using sick as a noun, like some people do with the word "drunk". I could get on board with that. "GET OUT OF HERE YOU UNPLEASANT," and so on
