Man, that sucks. You had to bend over and pick his stuff up for your job? What a bummer.

-Actual Slaves

I can say with certainty that the same script for Ghostbusters with the same creative team would get less than a third of that film’s $150m budget, and it would not be a studio’s summer tentpole release for 2016. So, I can live with it. The more of these kinds of female ensembles get made and are hits, the more of…

I grew up in South Carolina so I think I’ve got a good handle on what does and does not constitute being a slave. Something about making at least $8 million over 12 years, not including endorsement deals, doesn’t really strike me as slavery. Suck it up, dude, and while you’re at it pick up my fucking club.

Sounds like this book will be on the top of everyone’s Thanksgiving-ruining uncle’s CHRISTmas wish list.

I realize she’s a capable actress, but she always either annoys or bores the living snot out of me. :\ If they’re putting her in Clooney/Sinatra role, I’d call that a really bad fit.

I’m with you so much. Can we all just agree that this whole genre of “men suck at domestic things” is just fucking awful. Like, I am a man. I also like to make sure the kitchen is reasonably clean, and years of living without a dishwasher means I’m 100% okay with washing dishes on my own.

I had been hoodwinked, bamboozled, conned, duped, flimflammed.

2:24?!

She finished the marathon in two hours and 24 minutes.

LOL. Oh my GOD I guess you don’t know any self-absorbed men or women who just want the trophy wife and family or the trophy ring and wedding?

I do not understand why such usually reasonable commenters are jumping so fucking hard down your throat and being so condescending.

You took a lot of flak for this comment and truthfully, I also have known friends who wanted ‘the ring and the party’. I think everyone knows at least one: it’s the princess-for-a-day extravaganza they are craving, not the actual marriage stuff that comes after. I don’t know if it’s an age thing, because my friends…

I get all that, but I don’t understand how giving an ultimatum changes anything - it strikes me as putting unfair pressure on one’s partner, instead of just communicating with each other about what your intentions & long-term goals are.

I have a two year old and three year old boy and I get to hear about the penis constantly. Apparently, it’s just really, really, really funny. I bet my kids would be all about some penis candy. Really speaks to their comedy interests.

I have a twelve year old boy, and I can assure you that he knows he has one.

OH MY GOD. HER 12-YEAR-OLD NEPHEW MIGHT DISCOVER A PENIS!!!! <insert gif of ship, already sailed>

If you’re entering the game thinking the Pats already know what you’re doing, you’ve already lost.

Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. If you don’t say that, you’ll just be called a homer and they’ll assume you’re a fan anyway. Meh.
