Yes, “we” do have one hell of a fine idea of how sleep training works — the answer is “horribly”. Neurologists who study the development of the child brain, will tell you: it creates older children and adults who are statistically much more prone to depression stemming from “learned helplessness”, which develops…

Yes, I got that wrong, I came back on here to try to fix it, but you got it!

Are you too popped to party? Are you unpoopular?

What in tarnation!!?? Them ain’t real pickles!! Y’all want that there kosher pickle juice fer drinkin’ up, none o’ that cock-eyed vinegar and durn hahh fructose corn syrup foolishness!! The real fermentation deal, that’s what! What was that little gal thinkin’?— that’s what I wanna know! I got me a mind to send her…

My way is fastest! Wait 'till the craving goes away and save yourself the time, trouble, and unnecessary empty calories! (Admittedly, this ingenious method doesn't seem to work for fries ...)

Well, heheh, I don't actually "use" them, they just hang around and I don't evict them. Someone has to catch the assassin bugs (*shudder*) that fly in in the spring!

The poor kid is a dancing poodle — ma and dad are shaping her motor etc. neurons so that she behaves in the way they have decreed she should behave, in this case, be excellent at archery. No thought to her preferences — she doesn't have any, she's just formless putty for them to shape in their image.

I use spiders.

Throw the matchbook!

Maybe, maybe not — depends on how flexible the judge is.

I love your nickname!

Yes, this is the part that concerns me — young women who have not been sufficiently educated to understand that IUD does not equal protection from STDs. Same with the HPV vaccine — both these preventative measures could well give women (and guys) the wrong assumption that they're 'safe' from everything. So I wonder…

Heh, remember that time that a brontosaurus got its head stuck in that school's gym window during the dance? And wrecked all those decorations? And then finally got it head out only now it was all festooned with bunting? Heh, that was something.

I think I know someone here in Toronto who is purchasing some of this man's artwork; I think he already has some.

Oh, I didn't know. I do like it, but doesn't it reflect the artistic/cultural style of only one First Nation? I would all for this style of flag if it included references to other indigenous groups.

How come? May we not address our own land? "Oh, Canada, please don't forget to buy some milk o your way home," etc.

They were nice, those dinosaurs, weren't they? I miss them ...

Wow! Cross! Sword! Valour with a British spelling! Flower garlands! No foremothers, so we're all adoptees, most likely of same-sex, male couples!! I like it!

In cop shows, women captains seem to be addressed as 'sir' also. I think it should be 'sir with ovaries, a more permeable corpus callosum, and a longer than men life expectancy'.

Oh, I how I wish that garish-suit-wearing turn would shut the fuck up. And fall off the edge of the planet.
