I tend to spot the fakery in wrestling too much and when they’re really hurting each other...I don’t enjoy that either. There’s some phenomenal physical expression from some of them, but mostly it’s a lot of being beefy and hitting.

Yesss, another book in the pile.

avoiding a federal civil rights lawsuit which may have taken years to work its way through the courts exacerbating the suffering of the family and of the community

Depending on the boob situation, a good bra is absolutely all that separates you from the ground.

Shoes are one of those things where you can really see where/if they spent money/time on making them. I’ve got a couple pairs of high ticket shoes (not $700 high, but high) that look as good at the day I bought them, and I wear them a lot.

I have! It’s harder to find good documentaries but I’ve seen a lot of them. Books I’ve had a better time with.

I’m so on-board for this show. While I may loath actual tv wrestling, I’ve been endlessly fascinated by the behind the scenes stuff.

But what’s really emphasizing it is they’re all using the same head molds so they’ll look a little different proportionally on different bodies. I think “slim Ken” is a little shorter too, so those heads are…

I’m also Parisian but my family is from the southwest, so I heard both. I always preferred chocolatine because pain au chocolat sounded to me like they forgot the real name and had to resort to just describing it. “The one with the chocolate in it!” Also it was usually my grandmother getting them for me and she was…

Pah! Quelle banalité. C’est Chocolatine ou c’est rien.

“Well you see, when a fandom loves two characters or people very much, they come together to create a union called ‘a fic’...”

Not just that, but copyrighting clothing is generally not possible. Clothing’s utilitarian function in the eyes of the court renders it exempt unless it has features so unique to them as to warrant being considered copyrightable. Most cases that go before the courts are about stealing images and putting them on…

It’s hard to find time to learn microbiology when you’re hand-etching your dissertation on a vagina gem.

In 3 weeks my parents are visiting and I’ve decided it’s probably time to tell them I’ve been seeing someone for the last year and a half. We’d actually been in a long-distance relationship for something like 10 years but for a myriad of reasons we kept that to ourselves (mostly to stop hearing “oh, those never…
