But you should always listen to Patton Oswalt’s breakdown of Christmas Shoes.

It’s not “defending it in cutesy social context.” She WANTS to stay. she is making the *choice* to stay despite the perception of being “bad” for having sex.

Jen Kirkman posted a thread about this on Twitter the other day.

Not that it matters a great deal but I always took “say, what’s in this drink” to be a fairly honest question about what was in the drink being served and it, perhaps, being slightly stronger than expected.

People are being willfully ignorant about this song at this point. The historical context has been explained ad nauseum re: the woman wanting to stay but being unable to say so explicitly due to social norms at the time and the man trying to give her reasons to stay so as to provide her with cover. And the line…

in which direction?????

Never mind I Googled it. Turns out you all just have really poorly designed toilets.

NO! You suck! Tea is amazing.

I have a personal preference for Twinings’ English Breakfast.

Right, that’s it. You Yanks have gone too far this time.

Havishaming is always the answer.

Surely if the wedding is costing this much, they have a wedding planner. Surely.

Granted they don’t all involve ferris wheels, but tons of people do full weekend weddings now, and it is INTOLERABLE. It’s one thing to expect your immediate family and closest friends (i.e. people who are close enough that they are in your wedding party) to be there Friday night for a rehearsal/rehearsal dinner, or…

I sort of understand why actual royalty has this kind of ridiculous pomp and days-!ong events. But regular people? The narcissism and self-absorbtion is unbelievable.

He wss probably thinking about how much more his wife earns than he does nowadays.

I had thirty people at my baby shower for two hours and I thought I was going to die. I can’t imagine a wedding WEEKEND, complete with a goddamn ferris wheel and god only knows how many guests. Lawd.

That Karamo Brown story sounds . . . terrible? Like, their wedding is putting his fiance under so much stress that he was hospitalized, and rather than scale things down and get some perspective on his priorities, he turned it into an anecdote?

I just read a review of a Miles Davis record that failed to mention he was a sometime pimp and a woman beater. I feel misled.

Maybe Im blanking on the point, but I dont see why a food critic should give one shit about a restaurant owners personal life?
