Your premise is all wrong: You didn't experience the same thing.

Immediately adding to my OKC profile: " I love a lot of pop culture garbage entertainment for idiots." Thanks, Laura!

Halpert! Jim Halpert!

Baby, start a Google Doc and we're on fire! We already have one Kickstarter donation. I'm SERIOUS.

Oh, oh, oh *please* let there also be multiple misunderstandings wherein for a while the rentals think they're in love with the real couple and vice versa. And also the real couple people get jealous of the rental people, thinking the other couple person is in love with the rental!

If you tell her (which I think would be a kindness), do it SAFELY. Both this guy and his wife are complete strangers to you — either or both of them could harm you (in real or cyberspace). The guy sounds more dangerous than his wife does, from your description. And he might have a volatile reaction to her finding out.

This cat Ragano, see? He says the heat was on Riggsy, see? The juice was running. So BB set up a couple of showstoppers, get it? With some real hot tomatoes — this gal Margaret, I remember her name, see, because it's the name of my favorite aunt may she rest in peace. And the other little lady was none other than…

Here's what it's like to be female and 20-something and wait tables:

Oh my gosh, I was just coming here to say OLD SPICE. I'm part of a thriving community!

You omitted the obvious: Ayn Rand.

Edited To Add. You're 25, you should know this shit. ;)

I work at a place that people commute to from dozens of nearby cities. One day in conversation I asked an Indian co-worker where he was from. He started telling me this complex history of his ancestry and childhood homes, leading me from pre-birth through college. I said, "No, I meant, um, do you live in Mountain…

Do you realize what this means? We've been waiting 18 years and STILL no one's invented wardrobe software like Cher has in Clueless.

Back in 2007, I wrote this Christmas Carol for my dog.

My last dog had a criminal history backstory woven over the course of seven years. It began when he was hired at the local video store and got in the habit of eating people who rented movies about cats. Not satisfied, he started eating anyone who rented any bad movies. He was dubbed The Popcorn Killer. Later he…

Please, sister. There is no judgment in the world as snide as a meat eater's judgment. Here's the usual conversation:

I'm a Californian who was recently mocked for not knowing this. I felt really stupid until ...

Ack, that reminds me of the married/divorced/single forms that STILL exist to this day. How can "divorced" possibly be a relationship state? It's one event along the way from married to single. Imagine describing yourself as "broken up" from your last boyfriend until you found a new one. "Hey baby, are you single? Or…

"Alexandra, 21, said brother Paul is a quiet and reserved, likes playing the video game World Of Warcraft, and does not, to her knowledge, have a girlfriend."

This guy was married with a 10-year old daughter when he met Ray (who was still a student) in 1940. He divorced his first wife to marry Ray, then later he cheated on Ray. God deliver us from hopeless romantics.
