I sent him a drawing, too, although mine wasn’t nearly as polished or nice. =P I hope he shows yours on-air because a dove holding cold, hard cash is the perfect symbol for what OLoPE is all about.

I sent them this:

He claimed that he was from Florida(Editor’s Note: Well, there’s the least surprising statement ever.)

I’m an AMERICAN and I demand that the red, crunchy food filled with gluten and animal products be removed from my sight immediately, or I will call corporate headquarters in Florida and have you fired! Also, get me some free sunscreen.

Yeah, I wondered about that too. I thought maybe Starbucks raised their age requirement, but it’s still 16, so...someone from Canada wanna enlighten us?

How I feel about today’s stories:

Wouldn’t free ketchup actually be commie? Charging for it is very American and capitalist.

Fuck that. I just got promoted to manager, and I nevertheless plan on working 4o hours on the dot each week. A lot of older managers are in the habit of logging on in the evenings at my company, and I can tell you all that there is a 0% chance of me doing that. As soon as I do it, it will become the expectation. Nope.

The scariest thing I see when these sorts of stories come up is that these young “men” will most likely graduate and many will grow up to become managers, VP’s, and even CEOs. My thoughts are with their future employees.

“My husband and I are vegan. My daughter is vegetarian and both of them are allergic to gluten, lactose, shellfish, soya, onions, peppers and GM foods.” I’m assuming the kids survive on eating air, then. Assuming it’s not red air, cause they’d probably be allergic to that too.

Not really. I went to a school with no Greek life. Douchenozzle behavior by douchecanoes occurred anyway.

Let’s also keep in mind that these are ARMY RANGERS. They are badass human survival machines, and she's worrying about them getting a sad?

Nope. I’ve said before that I bet being stupid is amazing. The lack of self awareness and awareness for things around them has to be great. Like if you can live a totally surface life and never really think about things, that’s gotta free up a lot of time dedicated to feeling guilt or sadness. Like you can be stoked…

Yeah, I mean, has our historically matriarchal society EVER taken men’s feelings into account? It’s not like they hold almost all political positions or make more money or are over-represented in the media. Jeez.

To preface this: the following story takes place in Florida.

What the hell is it with moms announcing a daughter’s virginity? Who does that???

Once, my mom and dad told us they were giving us the house for the weekend while they were taking a cruise. I was 18 and I was going to have friends over. It was going to be a fantastic weekend!

When I was 19, my new boyfriend came over for dinner for the first time. My mother, at the time, worked at a spinnaker shop and had recently been charged with making a garter for some co-worker’s wedding. She had made it and brought it home for some reason or another. My dad found it lying on the counter and put it on…

My dad was a pretty serious LOTR nerd before it was cool, i.e. before the movies came out. He read all the appendices and books by Tolkien’s son annotating his father’s notes and books about the linguistics and collections of artwork about Middle Earth. Two of these artists were particularly considered to be experts,…

I’d put a caveat on that—talk therapy with no defined goal and end date is a scam. A good therapist will help you define goals, develop a timeline for meeting them, and frankly will push you out of the nest if things linger to the point where it’s clear they’re not helping.
