YES! That’s what I just posted before I saw this! She looks like she’d be KLG’s stunt double. I don’t even know who this is.

I get a Kathi Lee Gifford vibe from the picture. Anyone else? Same plastic surgeon?
“Perpetual access” isn’t fundamentally any more of a problem than it is with food and water. So if you think the only problem with addiction is a lack of social tolerance for it, then, at least according to the ideals of a liberal western society, what we need to do is try to get rid of this irrational social…
There are THINGS down there that the human eye has never seen nor the human ear has ever heard... Dark, beautiful and terrifying things...
I always get a kick out of people pronouncing it the “Marinara Trench."
Yeah, I had similar experiences to this as late as the early 90s..
I was just thinking about my somewhat similar experiences earlier today. I apparently looked to be in my 20s by the time I was 12. I was treated like crap by people my own age but garnered attention from adult men. I however, was terrified and disgusted by it. Had I not been, my life could have easily gone in a very,…
I was 14 in 1994, puberty was a sudden transformation, and suddenly there were all these men... like, overnight I went from an awkward, invisible, book-reading person who did a lot of secret listening when adults were talking to figure things out about the world, to having an awful lot of male attention in the world.
T…
It was my dad’s drunken emotional stuntedness and inability to communicate with me that set me up for all the relationships I had with skeevy older guys. I was desperately looking for a male to approve of me, and I sure as hell wasn’t going to get that at home.
I was 13-14 in the mid-70s, and I got a lot of attention from grown men. I was thrilled by it. Boys my age either ignored me, barked at me, or called me names. Adult men talked to me like I was a person, admired me, complemented me. At the time, it was bliss, and I felt it made me special. And thanks mainly to a lack…
I love this story. There was a lot of military hitchhiking, it was normal through the 70s. It filled in some imagery of the time to imagine the motorcade stopping, but after WWII I can imagine there was a lot of feelings of kinship among military.
I’m a huge extrovert and routinely talk to strangers everywhere, so it seems fascinating to me. And you get a ride somewhere.
This is seems like a match for Harold.
President Cruz has the vibe of a president who will pick up hitchhikers.
I regularly hitch hiked until about 6 years ago when my life changed and such activities weren’t necessary. It was a pretty interesting and amusing point in my life. People are quite cool and interesting once you each get over your respective fear of getting raped and murdered by strangers. Which is a tough fear to…
That's awesome. Ike is definitely the second most interesting president of the 20th century.
“Give me a week”
-Ike upon being asked what Nixon accomplished as VP.
Eisenhower was not a big fan of Nixon—who arguably crafted the modern Republican party via the Southern Strategy in 1960. I have little doubt that if Ike were alive today, he’d be a Dem.
My 85-year-old dad loves to tell the story of hitching a ride with Ike. Though it wasn’t a motorcade, it was his airplane. My dad was in the Air Force and needed a lift back to his base. Apparently, Ike ignored all of the suits on the plane and spent the whole time chatting with my dad.
This is wicked cool, and my respect for Ike, which was already pretty high, just went up a few notches.
1. I doubt that the Supreme Leader of Allied Forces in Europe was afraid of two servicemen. Especially in the ‘50s - a general era of US prosperity and good feeling.
