You know, I read some science fiction books by Robert Heinlein when I was young and impressionable. They made an impact on my thinking about marriage, even now, decades later. Because of those books, I never stop asking this question: As long as everyone involved is an adult, fully consenting, and not in the least…

I see no reason why poly relationships can't result in marriage. Consenting adults means consenting adults. This still wouldn't make FDLS practices and the like legal or ok.

No mention that O'Neill was for-reals signed by the Steelers in 1969?

Um... Married with Children was on FOX, not ABC. You definitely didn't watch the show at all.

That's a game face

As an aside, I had often wondered how Al Bundy would react to the chant of "hey hey, ho ho, this penis party has got to go!"

You work for Deadspin and didn't know Al Bundy scored 4 touchdowns in one game? That's like working for Jezebel and not knowing all of the man hating chants from PCU

Can we talk about the success of the cast of Married with Children? That has to defy all logic

If it's a Bundy reference, then Tom's a fan of low-brow Fox comedies, not middle-brow ABC ones.

"For those who don't know (this includes me, I had to ask)..."

The final line about Brady being annoyed and saying nothing is perfectly in sync with my perception of that douchebag. Throws a pretty good long ball, I'll give him that.

How could you not know Polk High's greatest football achievement?

For those who don't know (this includes me, I had to ask)

Play victim and blame the guy whose personal space that he paid for was being invaded by another person who should have purchased two seats? Fat logic at its finest.

Yes this letter is disgusting and shameful. And I completely agree with your points. This is truly indicative of gleeful fat-shaming and sanctimony that are so prevalent.

Try to read this letter and then argue that fat people are not systematically dehumanized and abused for sport.

Okay. I feel like it's gotta be okay to ask questions when you're talking to someone who's different than you. If it turns out the question you asked is totally rude and wrong-headed because of how life is for people in that community, then the person has a right to school you a bit. But I don't think it's productive…

As a Trans woman myself, I hate to be this way... but I am not sure if people realize that the overboard cooing over how attractive a transwoman or transman can be almost as bad as someone constantly badgering people about their sex life. It may come from a good place, but often times it just comes off as…

This. In all seriousness, we should ask each trans person individually what their experience is. I guarantee they're not all the same, and not all have the same feelings about what the biggest issues are for them. Some are probably entirely comfortable talking about surgeries and superficial things etc, others are…

hasn't anyone in this room fucking heard of Google before
