Yeah, that's pretty bad. I hadn't heard that one.

Right? Wasting "O" on Rosie O'Donnell is almost a crime.

That is precisely why I don't get my hair layered.

I don't buy this now-frequent complaint from non-winning gymnasts that they are being penalized for having an artistic style rather than a more athletic, powerful one. From what I understand, gymnasts are judged on both technical precision and artistic style, among other factors. The Romanian and Russian gymnasts of…

Yeah, it's cynical, dopey, right-from-their-ass theories from people who nonetheless follow it up with, "BOOM! OWNED, BITCH!!"

"I think once you're wrapped in plastic, I forget about you."

That sounds a lot like my husband and I too, except that I am painfully self-aware and obsessed with limiting my annoying habits and he's blissfully oblivious to his, but it's little stuff that's not really important, so it's all good.

Dude, I've been all about some Tony Goldwyn for years. Even when I saw Ghost when I was a preteen, I kind of rooted for him even though he was a no-good-horrible super villain who had Patrick Swayze killed, the bastard.

Me too, which is actually sort of crazy considering the sheer number of fishtail braid tutorials on YouTube. I rock that braid all the time now.

It's weed and ecstasy. For all we know, the ecstasy is an occasional partying thing. Maybe he didn't want to leave without it because he's cheap. Maybe it was a brain fart so he panicked and said he thought it was legal. In any case, it's unlikely he insisted on bringing weed and ecstasy back with him because he…

Agreed. I've suffered from severe depression and generalized anxiety disorder for most of my life. When the anxiety is really bad, I also have OCD tendencies. I went on medication in my early 20s, tried several different ones and combinations and went off completely right before I hit 30, because I just felt that…

This. There's nothing like the intersection of rank cynicism and utter credulousness. I actually feel embarrassed for people who buy into blind gossip conspiracy theories. Even in the nasty world of gossip, Blind Gossip is a fucking cesspool.

"someone says firmly, the mentally ill are FAR more likely to be VICTIMS than PERPETRATORS of abuse"

Agreed. I'm a paralegal, and that is so not lawyer-speak.

The fishtail braid is really easy once you get the hang of it. It's not difficult so much as it's just a different "muscle memory" for someone used to doing the regular braid. You start with two pieces instead of three, and you alternate pulling hair from the outside of each piece into the middle. It's one of my…

Agreed. This current braid trend is simply a different sort of braid from styles traditionally common among African-Americans. Doesn't mean that black women don't do the looser braids, french braiding, fishtails and whatnot, and doesn't mean that women of all races haven't been doing some sort of braid or another…

Um, Ted Gibson is black. I'm sure he's well aware of the history of hair-braiding among black women and isn't trying to discount it. It seems clear to me that he was just commenting on the current trend among women with long hair, whether they be white women or black women who wear extensions or straighten. These…

When my parents separated when I was 8, everyone that knew her, knew that she had left my dad for the head pilot for my grandpa's aviation company, with whom she orchestrated the hostile takeover of said company (they pretty quickly ran it into the ground). I mean, this was common knowledge. Yet my mom steadfastly…

Of course, in those situations where you have two contradicting statements, you have to wonder which is the lie.

That has to be part of the pathological liar's MO — include lies about terrible things that happened to them so that people feel uncomfortable questioning any of the lies at all.
