But he was a member of NAMBLA, which espouses that children (boys) can and should be introduced to sex with men. If he thinks this is appropriate for OTHER people's children — enough to spend his time on the board — then I would imagine he'd think this was appropriate for HIS children, too, whether or not he molested…

It isn't relevant and there ARE incestuous overtones, end of discussion. This isn't less squicky because Soon-Yi was not biologically related to her family. Please see Ronan's quote above.

Oh god, that Radiolab. I listened to it while I was gardening this summer and had to stop because I was bawling.

I just like to tell folks who like a particular VS bra but can't afford it. Now you know, get it cheaper by Maidenform! Yeehaw!

Nope, I don't wear them 'cuz I'm too cheap. I'm Target all the way!

I hear tell from someone who worked in PR for Victoria's Secret that the Maidenform line is the same thing. He said that they release it at VS first and then under another name at Maidenform for much less. Just an FYI.

Eh, I don't buy the JGL thing. Whether he's gay or not, I don't seem him staying closeted. I could see him not bothering to share explicit information but I just don't see him as the kind of person who would fake something to hide who he is. It seems to go against his purported belief system. I do think he's pretty…

I have done this more times than I care to remember, most recently on my first day at a new job. Nice surprise for my boss!

It's parody: [nymag.com]

Actually if you talk to midwives/OBs who treat women with large families, you'll hear that it does often physiologically damage you only we don't talk about it much. I mean, I have no truck with what Michelle Duggar does with her body — it's hers to do with it as she sees fit — but yeah, having a lot of kids is not…

Ummm, that's a bullshit homestudy and highly unusual. Some social workers are crazy and some are crazy the other way like not turning down ANYONE. In any case, I hope that this time around you get a non-crazy social worker.

I'm unclear on this, too. I mean, she's not 18 but she's "legal" to ogle because she's married? Oh. Ok then.

I'm with you on the Ouija board. My friend and I used to use one when we were kids and the board would heat way, way up and the little Ouija thing would shoot out from under our hands and fall off onto the floor. I don't know if it was ghosties or my repressed Catholic friend's repression coming out but it was still…

My seven year old knows vulva and vagina and clitoris and all the rest. But then we might not have had the right puppets.

When we moved into this house all we knew is that the elderly people weren't able to stay here anymore. It's not a very old house (1959) and as far as we knew, their kids put them in a nursing home and the house was empty for awhile. One night I dreamt about the couple. I dreamt the woman was sitting in the bathtub…

My friend worked closely for her when she was doing the Bitten line and he said she was always gracious and kind even when she didn't have to be.

I was too old to watch TGIF but I always hated the Seavers (Growing Pains) because they way they made fun of Carol's weight. I hold them personally responsible for Tracy Gold's eating disorder.

I did this when I was three but had no walls to climb. I just went out the door while the teacher was playing piano and went home because I was bored. I unschool my kids now and for some reason this surprises my mom but c'mon — I gave up on traditional school before I lost my first tooth.

I'm Jewish and I've had a number of fundamentalist Christians try to tell me that they are ALSO Jewish only Jewish PLUS because they are Christians. Seriously. So basically you're totally out there analogy is not as out there as it ought to be.

This.
