My old boss came out with a random Yo Yo Ma story that I’d never heard after four years of working with him on a daily basis, and dude LOVES to tell stories. He and his now obscenely fundamentalist brother-in-law were at a concert and old-boss is friends with a fairly famous singer with whom they were attending a…

Doppledeaner! AKA ‘Not Moby’ on How I Met Your Mother!

Willard Scott Ronald McDonald?! I taught his granddaughter. Both she and his daughter are great.

I’m happy to hear how nice Jennifer Aniston was.

He sounds like a horrible human being. Who acts like that? WHO SERIOUSLY THINKS IT’S EVER OKAY TO ACT LIKE THAT?

I should have posted this under your comment:

No terrible celebrity story from me, but I did want to get on here to say just how nice and normal and down-to-earth Sam Shepherd is. He had a farm in the county where I grew up and I would run into him at the two places I worked (antique store and sandwich shop).

One day he came into the antique store and I asked…

I agree. In my mind, the fact that the families of the victims were against the death penalty for Tsarnaev and that only 33% of polled Boston residents were in favor of the death penalty makes this a surprising verdict. 57% percent were in favor of a life sentence, and most of that would have been in solitary…

My absolute favorite cartoon.

Neat factoid: the scene in Monsters Inc. where Sully thinks he’s watching Boo go through the trash compacter is based on the scene in ‘Feed the Kitty’ where Marc Anthony thinks he’s watching the kitten get made into a cookie.

Thank you! I was looking for this and couldn’t remember what they called them. I wanted to say “night girdle”, but I knew that was wrong.

“Work harder to get there.”
I’m all about working harder to get where I want to be, but when women and people of color are having to work harder than white men to get to the same place and to get paid the same amount, how can she justify that?

My boyfriend at the time and I went to see Tom Petty in 2005 at Riverbend in Cincinnati. You could tell that Tom Petty really wasn’t feeling it that night. I got up to go get us some drinks and the line was soooo long. I had been waiting for about 15 minutes and was getting fairly close to the front when a couple in…

Exactly! I always wear dresses during the summer and people say, “You always look so put together!” And I say, choosing one dress is so much easier than trying to find bottoms and a top that match.

I would seriously change my last name. How do you get a date with that last name? Or hired?

Yanni?

Rollins told a funny story about being at a donkey show in Tijuana and recognizing someone there (in the audience). He said he was really worried the whole time that this guy was going to go home and tell everyone that he had seen Henry Rollins at a donkey show, but then realized he didn’t need to worry so much…

This was already a show 15 years ago: Great Pretenders with Wild Orchid, aka that girl group Fergie (aka Stacey from Kids, Incorporated) got her start in.

All these ladies look better before the makeovers! But then again, I'm a fan of the natural look.

When I was in high school, seeing the few pregnant girls in school only made us more careful in our sexual practices or more unwilling to have sex. They were a constant reminder of how quickly your life could be ruined.
