I very cool-ly wore chuck taylors and a Smiths Meat is Murder t-shirt. Oh, god was I cool.

When people foolishly asked me to sign their yearbook, I would make a large X with a black marker.

The time to insist upon respect and “class” was before you hopped into the comments to insult the people who work here. Fuck off. Find some other website to read.

I agree that the people who think Bill and Hillary murdered Vince Foster are a lost cause.

Hi. We’ve been posting pieces about politics and culture here on the Concourse for more than a year. Eat shit.

Yep. I was there earlier this summer with my family, and some of the people on the hikes were definitely not well prepared. I was also a little disturbed by the people taking their small children on the Cliff Palace tour...like, you do realize we’re climbing ladders? Up a cliff? A toddler can’t do that!

I hate hover-ers and am #TeamJustSitOnTheFuckingSeatYouIgnorantGermaphobe for life. But I have found that many public restrooms flush with such outrageous force that the water droplets fly up and land on the seat, mimicking the appearance of a tinkled-upon seat. So sometimes, it's just that.

Omg yes, this! I’ve walked in on so many women who fail to lock the stall door. I’m 51 and I’ve always been able to latch the door. Really, and I’m a doofus. I don’t understand how it happens. It’s so embarrassing to walk in on someone, just...just horrid. Thank you for this vital public service!

When the bathroom door won’t lock, I tend to watch underneath the door for approaching feet, or for the slow open if I can’t see under it. If I see someone, I push that door shut. To this day, no stranger has ever walked in on me. It’s probably taken like 5 minutes total of my time. It’s not hard.

Every time I use a public restroom and there is a door that has a push button lock, I have to test it like three times to make sure it’s properly depressed. Not in an OCD way, I just want to be sure it’s locked. Even then, if the bathroom is a larger handicapped accessible space, and I’m sitting on the toilet several

I’m actually more confounded by women who pee on the toilet seat. If you want to crouch, go ahead, but please lift the seat so I don’t set myself on it after you and get that horrifying, piss-on-the-thigh feeling that never goes away.

Have you experienced people wriggling the locked handle, and then STILL knocking. Like, the fucking door was locked but somehow you think no ones in here? And what if no one is in here? Are you going to break down the locked door to take a piss, really? The fuck? Next time someone does that I think I’m gonna just

I started whistling the tune of “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald” on the way over a few years ago when we hit some moderate chop about 90 minutes out of Copper Harbor. The lady sitting near us was not amused.

Mammoth Cave is easily the longest cave in the world, about 405 miles of tubes and such under Kentucky. It’s so big they keep finding stuff in it

Jellystone Park gets no love and I thought this was a bear-friendly blog smh

This doesn’t sound like CTE symptoms. More like early adult onset schizophrenia.

You're confusing that with the ceremonial last swim.

Usually, it involves pushing an old person in a wheelchair into the deep end. It’s an acquired taste.

And with that, welcome Gawker refugee.

Always worth reposting....

Liberal justices posed questions during March arguments about whether the law served any medical purpose for women’s health. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg asked Keller how many women would live 100 or more miles from a clinic under the Texas law. Keller answered 25 percent but said that did not
