Sampling is transformative fair use and does not require permission. So sayeth the Supreme Court.

You can accomplish the same thing by pressing on the bridge of your nose. I learned this when I traveled to Japan, where it’s considered rude to sneeze in public.

I would like to propose that we compare Rachel Dolezal to the tri-boob woman instead of Caitlyn Jenner. Seems more apropos.

You are both adorable! He is so much more appealing without his Jon Snow po-face.

I saw a taping when they came to my city - I got to meet Carl Kassell afterwards and he autographed my program!

I don’t know if it’s necessarily that so much as “Why are you wasting so much time and effort (and money, in some cases) trying to have your OWN children when adoption is so EASY!”

Those statistics are 5 years out of date. The percentages are higher now due to advances in embryology and medication (plus in the UK I think success rates are lower than in the US, on average).

Yep - if you want any chance of adopting within a reasonable amount of time (like 2 years or less), or if you’re older, you have to be willing to take older children who likely have had terrible lives and/or children with special needs. (No 16-year-old with a healthy newborn is going to place her baby with a couple in…

I tend to hear it more from older people (and yeah, of course no one who has actually adopted a child). I think it used to be easier to adopt domestically, and/or they are thinking of the golden age of everyone adopting Chinese babies which is now impossible. And when they and their cohort where starting families,…

In the game of thrones you either Croc or you croak.

And what do we say to the God of Death?

Yeah, and I noticed that all the close shots were either of the back of her head or from the upper chest up. (CGI head being harder to hide in a closeup, I imagine.) There’s no way she doesn’t have a no nudity clause in her contract - she’s never been shown topless before, right?

Yeah, CBB’s hilarity does definitely depend on the guests - some of them just play way too straight and don't give enough for Scott and the other guests to work with (Natasha Lyonne, I'm looking at you). I got into the show by first listening to the best-of episodes one year, and that actually gave me a pretty good…

Neko Atsume! My coworker introduced me to this game and I now prob pay more attention to these cats than my actual cats. This site taught me me everything I need to know: https://welcometowonderland.wordpress.com/2015/03/25/how…/. Also https://welcometowonderland.wordpress.com/2015/03/24/nek…

No, I haven’t - I’ll check it out, thanks!

I don’t think I knew she had her own podcast! I’m a huge CBB fan and have tried a couple of PFT’s solo podcasts but find that he’s just not as funny when he’s not in character (sorry, Paul, I love you so hard and Sir Andrew Lloyd Webber is probably one of the best things that has ever happened to me). I love Lauren’s…

OMG, that song is such an earwolf. Earworm.

Cheryl Tunt, is that you?
