@spiraloflife: My best friend, who due to various issues with parents is just now starting college for real at the age of 22, has a freshman roommate who gives him $40 every other night to buy a case of beer. I think he pretty much lives on Jameson at this point and the freshman is none the wiser.

@PintoBeans: My fiance (who has lived there pretty much his whole life) swears by Ledo pizza. Otherwise he, like me, is boring and just likes museums, but the man knows his pizza.

@susuwatari1: Fortunately, the cosmetic stuff is what we're excited about. I'm crafty, he's detail-oriented (which I am not, but the two go well together), we both like lots of color and personalization, and that is actually a big part of why we are looking for a bit of a fixer-upper — the fun of, as he puts it,…

@ardentlilac: Yeah...the area of town we're wanting to buy in does not, I believe, have any houses less than a hundred years old. We both love the charm of old houses, but so far we've decided the plumbing, electric, and structure (i.e. roof and floor) need to all be...at least reliable for a FEW years. It's so hard…

So, we're trying to buy our first house! We'll be scraping for the down payment, but we figure, no better time to do it than now, and it'll be nice to have that well done before the wedding. Any tips for first-time home buyers, especially ones who are totally OK with moving into a house that needs some work (so long…

@banh mi:

@GGobsessed: Yeahh I was just going to make some comment about the hawtness, and now I am broken...

@Aesop's Foibles.: Flooding + bodies = streets rife with tetanus and worse. A cut on a foot can lead to death.

@Sophie needs to study...damn: It was more along the lines of the woman cheating, actually, since property etc. were passed down from father to son and a man didn't want to give his stuff to another man's child. But the point still stands—if there's no possible way a child could be conceived, it's an irrelevant…

@laurasaurus: I don't know...after rethinking, I DO tend to scrutinize her appearance, but only her awesome clothes and makeup...

@quatrevingtquatre: Her Twitter got hijacked and then Perez Hilton got involved...

@onfireagain: I know! It was like, OK do you people have any clue what her fanbase is like? Not exactly the types who are going to be scrutinizing her appearance for flaws.

@eveywiechert: I always thought the computers, but really either one would work...

@fulanita: Sharpie and barroom bathrooms. All I'm sayin'.

Remember a few years back when her record company wanted to cut this video because she "looked fat" in it?

@Puddlefish: Cinnamon rolls!

@Tartan_Tart: Less fat-phobic than more concerned with appearances to me — not necessarily HIS appearance, but how she would appear to others if she were with him.

@Tequila Mockingbird: The music from the Bounty paper towel fake-porn commercials started in my head as I read that...

@Ms.RantyPants: "Also, even the best jury instructions can't overcome prejudice. Which is why we have rules barring prejudicial evidence (which I would think should bar this evidence anyway)."

Or, in other words: "Dear jury, these are loose women to begin with and they are also murderers. Not that this has anything to do with the case at hand, but just throwing it out there. Can't hold the lawyer responsible for putting ideas in your head, right?"
