Scrunchies are sort of like guns. You can have one if you really want, but actual use should be governed by local traditions and laws.

I wasn't thinking Best Dramatic Series, but at least a few technical nominations.

I could see Tatiana Maslany from Orphan Black not getting nominated as just a difference of opinion. The entire show getting shut out borders on egregious.

I've heard that before: My mom once told me her method for cutting her own hair (she didn't pay for a haircut as long as I can remember). She said she would stand outside on a windy day and cut off anything that blew into her eyes.

The threshold for "short enough to exercise without having to hold it back" must be shorter than I thought. Thanks for the reply.

Ignorant question from a guy (me): What is the issue with her hair being down? It looks short enough that it wouldn't bother her. Not arguing or snarking, just curious. Thanks.

I'm not from that area, but I thought Scandinavians preferred that designation instead of "European". Sort of like a Canadian wouldn't want to be referred to as "American", even though Canada is part of the American continent.

1) I want the drugs that person is taking; absent drugs, I want their creative ability.

Will anything bad happen to the emmy voters?

Dear, her cottage is in Watch Hill, Rhode Island. I don't think Tay-Tay would be caught dead on the Cape with those Massholes.

It's five kilograms of gold on a decorative base. Not too shabby.

There are no timeouts in soccer (soccer: I'm in the U.S.). Also, each team is only allowed three substitutions per game, with no reentry, even for game-ending injuries. That hugely limits the coach's options for players on the field who are not getting the job done. Coaches will often only use two subs, leaving the…

Oft-heard comment during this World Cup is "The U.S. can't hold possession in the midfield".

You are right. I had my sequence wrong. I should have said the ref saw the foul, but called advantage and let play proceed. Since he saw the original foul though, he should have given a card to Zuniga at the next stoppage.

Zuniga made no attempt to play the ball when he jumped up and kneed Neymar in the lower back. The ref saw it, a foul was noted and a free kick was taken. It should have been a yellow card at the minimum.

Agree with you 100%.

The googly-eyed man in the picture with Rihanna is Miroslav Klose. He plays soccer for Germany. Used to be a starter and is now a "supersub". He scored a goal in Germany's second game this World Cup less than two minutes after subbing into the game.

Gender equality. For years, the women's team (Mia Hamm, Michelle Akers, Julie Foudy et al) were called the U.S. Women's National Team and abbreviated USWNT while the men were just called the U.S. Team. Several years ago the U.S. Soccer Federation started abbreviating the men's team as the USMNT.

I always thought she was a major grump. Someone got me tickets to a charity event featuring Serena. I almost didn't go because she seems like such a nasty person.
