I asked my doctor in the ER if he saw himself as more of a Dr. Hibbert or Dr. Nick (it came up organically) and he responded with that very line. I don't trust doctors that don't laugh.

Safe to assume that a vajillion is only 75% of a dicktillion?

Actually, the Egyptians I know do refer to themselves as North African, as do the Algerians, Moroccans and Tunisians. Iranians and Afghanis will balk at being called Middle Eastern because their countries are in Central Asia (as are most, if not all of the -stans.) I taught ESL for over a decade. This is anecdotal…

Doc said mine was petite which is the first and only time that word has been used to describe any part of me.

I love historical "lenses." I thought the lighthearted How Beer Saved The World was a fun lens on how the discovery and production of beer may have influenced everything from the building of the pyramids through pasteurization and refrigeration. Of course it promotes the "undrinkable" water idea, but it is otherwise…

Thanks! I still have a half hour to kill at work...

This is fascinating, but I don't have any idea what those two images are or why they would be compared side-by-side. Would you mind providing a link or some context? This looks pretty cool.

I have an African American friend who is currently living in Munich. She has told me many a tale of just insanely blatant, ignorant racism (ignorant, like the person inflicting it really has no idea how offensive they are being). Her favorite thing to do is respond to their English comments in flawless German…

Jeez, I'm an idiot. Dessert dessert!

Then this is perfect—you get a desert desert!

Oh, I wasn't criticizing you for your post! I think I might just whip out my phone and show someone without that courtesy—she's much nicer than I.

At least she waits for you to ask...

My sister-in-law named hers Spike. She'll show you a picture if you ask her.

Still pissed about that. The world needs Kristin Ritter, now more than ever.

I got through about the first 10 minutes of it. I was somewhat taken aback by the rape joke, but was willing to slog through a bit more just to see how much worse it could be. It was awful. At least Dads doesn't presume to be anything but really shitty lowbrow comedy.

I actually opted out of a non-romantic friendship recently because it was clear I was really annoying to him, and who the hell wants to be in that position?

I've been watching the documentary "Once Upon A Time" on Netflix and it seems that never turns out quite the way you hope it will. #teamRegina.

I still miss Douglas Adams (quote from Hitchhiker's Guide...), I always think of this quote when people talk about How Everything Was Better In The Past:

Many were increasingly of the opinion that they'd all made a big mistake in coming down from the trees in the first place. And some said that even the trees had been…

Well, they're bending over backward to claim that Ted Cruz (Canadian born and raised) is eligible so...

Oh, I laughed. I felt terrible but I laughed.
