I gotta admit, I love pumpkin pie, and sweet potato pie with marshmallows. And green bean casserole I like, although yes, it's not the greatest thing in the world. Maybe I like it for the contrast :P

She was waving around a loaded firearm.

Ferguson is a small suburb of a very large metro area. That's like saying "I'll never live in New York City because they have so much snow in Buffalo."

Accidental? Tragic? Yeah, let's throw up our hands Greek-tragedy-style and pull our hair and gouge our eyes for such a tragic, and unpreventable, truly inevitable, "tragic accident."

This was as accidental as unbuckling your seat belt, taking your hands off the wheel, pointing your car towards a cliff, setting the cruise control to 85mph, and saying, "Woo! Lookie me!"

yeah, there needs to be a HUGE overhaul imo. long waiting periods, exams for licenses that need to be renewed often, along with things like eye exams and a mental health eval imo.

Goddammit Greater St. Louis Area. I love you really. You were a great place to grow up. But seriously. Can we cut this bullshit out? You're making us all look bad.

Get over yourselves, parasites. People with actual jobs will dress as they deem appropriate for their work, not what a bunch of do-nothing's want them to wear to cover their stop here on their eternal vacation.

You mean you didn't get the memo? We're supposed to forget the tyranny of the Royal Crown and it's hand in creating the Developing World, because Kate Middleton is a stylish nobody-turned-princess babe and by association the Queen isn't terrible. It's all good.

The next time the camera pans out a Senate hearing look at the crew crouched under the witness desk to get their shots, look at them. You don't dress nice to crawl on the floor. A reporter/crew is not PART of the event; they are covering it.

As a reporter who wears jeans or the like to work every day because I never know if I'm covering a murder scene, a riot, a bridge shut down because of a gas tanker on fire, a court case, Ryan Seacrest, arson, a cop being shot, you get the idea, my response to this is fuck you princess and the hell over yourself.

I fully support professional dress. The majority of my closet is professional clothes. I hope people dress accordingly for formal vs. informal events.

I encourage you to run 800 feet of cable, lug 70+lbs of gear up and down risers, and sprint back and forth to the truck because the reporter forgot his phone/pen/tamaguchi in 100 degree heat - all while wearing formal clothing.

Mandating technicians, who are guys often lugging heavy things or who won't be seen at all, to wear suits really just makes their jobs more unpleasant. God forbid the hol polloi show up to the greeting of the welfare recipients and be comfortable.

I keep asking that question too, but they never answer! Is that The Thing To Do back at Troll Central or what?

I think that same handbook also counsels the complete abjuration of apostrophes.

Why did you randomly capitalize a bunch of words? I've asked this of other trolls, but do you guys have a handbook that instructs you to do this or something? I really don't get it.

Yes kids, we actually did talk about boys, girls, and gender roles in play and toys back in the '70s. Stop acting so goddamned surprised and thinking this stuff was discovered last year. Gen X was the Free to be You and Me generation.

Seriously- when I was in HS I remember they would tell you how many days each quarter you could not dress and still get an A, so I would just take that many days off from PE every quarter no matter what. Perfect for when you're not feeling like getting all sweaty, just tired, or when you just had your hair done. Not…

Here's the thing, if pool was scheduled (or even gym in general since exercise can lead to mussed hair), then she knew it was going to happen, and because it's at school she is expected to do it unless there is a serious reason, and I'm sorry, most people will not take "my hair will look bad" as equal to extreme…
