Back in my bohemian days (late 1980s) I lived in a squat in London. One of my flatmates' cousin was dating Jade Jagger and she came around a couple of times (I think she was still in whatever the English equivalent of high school is—she was really young). Well, there was a big kerfuffle one night when she was caught…

Yep, just because there is a guy you pay to help you rape someone, you're not off the hook for rape. Isn't hiring someone to murder someone else as criminal as actually pulling the trigger?

Hmmm. While I'm glad that they honored Marcia Wallace this way, your comment suggests another question: What do they do when/if a foreign voice actor who dubs the cartoon dies? The Simpson is broadcast around the world and each language version would have its own cast. If a foreign actor dies but the character…

Stupid sexy Flanders.

Please get your colon checked if you have not already done so. There is a high correlation between uterine and colon cancer (separate cancers, not metastasization). My mother had uterine cancer and put off dealing with obvious-in-retrospect colon cancer symptoms. She is fine now and about 18 years cancer-free, but…

You've got The Vapors? I was wondering what happened to them.

You call that a fuckwit? THIS is a fuckwit (that's supposed to be a Crocodile Dundee reference for the young'uns.)

A very good friend hung up on me on the afternoon of 9/11 (we both live in NYC) after checking in on me when I said, "I should look into what project management software they were using," as we were in the umpteenth week of delays because of stupid bullshit and my boss was asking for yet another project report. Part…

I saw his taping of Inside the Actor's Studio and he was really low-key. I don't know if it made it to the final cut, the taping went on for over three hours, but he told the story of going through some stuff in his parents' attic and finding an Olympic medal (can't recall if it was gold or not). He asked his father…

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 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!

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…
