I'm not sure why, but the mental image of a pelican eating a pigeon makes me giddy with laughter!

I think this calls for a Shit In. Which is like a Sit In, but instead of sitting at a lunch counter, we all use the "wrong" bathrooms.

I didn't eat anything exciting. The National Geographic-style animal stuff was really the most exciting part of the experience.

I saw an otter eat a duck once. It was terrible and amazing all at once. The duck was just swimming about doing duck stuff and all of a sudden this otter comes up from under the water, shark style, grabs the duck in its adorable, terrifying otter jaws, and pulls it under the water, only leaving a few feathers behind.

I was coming here to say this same thing. At least this is consistent.

Horrifying. I'm horrified.

I went on this awful first date several years ago (dude ended up being called The Needy Libertarian, if that tells you anything) at a Thai restaurant. I ordered my go-to dish, pad kee mau, spice level Hot, which isn't hot enough for me, but the Native Thai is too hot (there was a kitchen vendetta situation that is a

Are you disrespectin' me?

Every interview I've read with her makes Meghan Trainor seem terrible. Just oblivious and awful. :(

This is exactly it for me, but with the folding thing.

I can't remember if I've dreamed about splits or not, but it sounds like essentially the same thing! And I also can't remember the circumstances surrounding the folding in half. I think I'm just like, "Nbd, forward fold."

I have dreams about being able to do this. (Literally. I have had multiple dreams about this. Am I normal?) (No, I'm not.)

I like your user name!

Dammit, you're right. I'm going to have to suck it up and do the damn work. (Which is fine, really, and probably a very good exercise in practicing follow through, which is not always my strong suit.)

He said he'd never heard of a case, which is maybe true. My intention certainly wasn't to say that no woman ever has done anything shitty, and as some other commenters have said, it could have a lot to do with men being disinclined to file suits.

That's also pretty icky. My comment was definitely an incomplete critique. I let me knee jerk reaction get the best of me! You're totally right, though. It's too bad that the jobs that favor women tend to be "less desirable" or so gendered that men think they're being super feminine to take them.

Yeah, I'd say that's totally true. Which is also sad.

I had never really thought of bartending as gendered. It makes sense though.

"He told the newspaper that at his 27 years with the federal agency, he could not remember a EEOC case where a company gave preference to women."
