You mean Benny ‘The Jet’ Rodriquez? My desperate crushes on jocks with a heart of gold started very early.

That is one brilliant, terrific cover, capturing the myth, the violence, the domestic affective relationship between the viewers and the cast, everything. Brilliant.

SHUT UP. She's going to live forever. Just like how all my dogs are gonna live forever

I guess that male gorilla hadn’t heard about women’s liberation. He was probably a MGRA. Wish they had a gorilla who took a woman’s rights class in college. I’m sure he wouldn’t have been so turned off my her making the first move, but then he would have probably had a Madonna/whore complex so the outcome might have…

omfg I love Koko.

Man, the CIA must really want him to be in deep cover.

Maybe this means we can go back to snapping our fingers at the staff. Since they’re not getting tipped, I suppose I don’t have to pander to their fragile egos anymore!

Look, I love babies. I like moms (some of them). But if I was invited to speak in from of hundreds of people, do a book signing, and participate in an intense professional conference, I’d arrange for child care for the day. No, you can’t bring your baby to work, sorry. That includes adjunct teaching. Advocate for…

Such an underrated movie.

You sooooo don’t have a 5-year-old.

He is seriously wondering! What should he turn down for??

Wow, this question is fucking ludicrous. I’ve been to law school and practiced for several years and I know for a fact no lawyer would bother saving anyone else in a fire. Might as well be testing on legal customs of middle earth.

If I learned anything from the first half of Footloose, it’s that DANCING IS BAD. So I’m gonna go with “it was the dancing.”

That’s awesome, I am now of the opinion that Comcast should be required to answer all calls like that until their customer service rating improves to an acceptable level.

You are totally right on this. (And I also grew up with a lot of adults who preferred to be referred to just by their first name.) You show respect to people by, you know, treating them with respect. Not by using honorifics. Adults, while they have more power and responsibility than young people, are no more deserving…

Yes. It is creepy. All of the cool neighbors I had as a kid asked that we call them by their first name. All of the dickbag neighbors wanted us to call them Mr. and Mrs.

My parents figured that’s what kindergarten is for.

Same. My parents both worked nights, so the first 5 or 6 years of my life I hung out with my grandma every day. She taught me to read, addition and subtraction, how to cook simple things, gardening, and she potty trained me pretty early. She also bought me lots and lots of books and I read them all.

Then don’t buy a fucking gift. But a lot of people enjoy buying gifts for their loved ones, and as many have mentioned, big ticket items are frequently group gifts, things a rich old lady buys for her only grandchild’s wedding, or just on there for the discount. If you can’t attend a wedding without projecting your…
