It's Swedish. Stands for "Ambition to Create Novel Expression".

My mom wouldn't let me have a Ken doll so I cut off all of Skipper's (who was Barbie's flat-chested little sister) hair and made her be Barbie's boyfriend. I didn't have any "boy" clothes for my creation so she had to be naked all the time. I made them a waterbed out of a half-deflated souvenir beach ball and they…

How would the Phil Collins joke be relevant to today's twenty-somethings anyhow?

If David Blamet does indeed mean what you took it to mean, then fuck everything.

If you think those two-carat rocks Wiz has in his ears are small, I'd be delighted to invite you to purchase a wee pair for me.

Dying for season two but sad that Laura Prepon won't be a regular - I think she's great.

Yep, held off on filing til after New Years as I didn't want to have to tell my child I was leaving her dad at Christmastime and have that be her memory of the holidays forever.

Dear DogzillasMama:

What magic bullet do you suggest, oh wise one?

I have been trying to float the idea of the "Hangover Helper" truck for years. It shows up at your home with aspirin, coffee or Coca Cola (or a Bloody Mary if it's not a workday), and a greasy cheeseburger.

Is it just me, or can everyone else think of an actress on OITNB more deserving than Taylor Schilling?

Clearly you're not buying my argument and I am not buying yours. I am a writer by trade and words matter to me greatly - I want them to be as precise as possible and not get turned around, hence my frustration. As a rape survivor and awareness activist and mother of four teenage daughters for whom I live in fear every…

It has nothing to do with what I want it to be - it's the legal definition of sexual harassment that matters here.

Calling every kind of harassment that has a sexual component sexual harassment lessens and cheapens it when people are in a TRUE sexual harassment situation.

I had a boss who called me "Tits" in front of…

The fact that it's not obvious to you that having two things in common doesn't make them a third thing is as confounding to me as what I've said is to you. It has macaroni. It has cheese. So it must be macaroni and cheese even tho it also has beef and tomatoes? That is how ridiculous your statement sounds.

Ugh, fine - if you want to bust out some rando definition that lists it as a social issue, here goes more...

Sexual harassment is defined as an unwanted, sexually charged act toward another person over whom you have some sort of power, leading that person to feel that objecting would effect them negatively. Telling a stranger to eat your dick is disgusting, catcalling on the street is disgusting. Neither is sexual…

Related: can we stop using the term "sexual harassment" so broadly? Using it in an argument like this one weakens its true meaning.

Seriously - what's the crime in being good looking and well-lit?

Hate is kind of a strong word. He's weak, he's selfish, but he's human. I can't say I hate the character any more than I'd say I hate Liv for going back to him again and again.

I thought the judges were extremely kind, encouraging, and respectful to the kids. But there is NO WAY the kids weren't getting a ton of help behind the scenes.
