"Crucifixion? Good. Out the door, line on the left — one cross each."

Again, I am basing all of this off a book that you think is crazy, so it is natural that we will arrive at different conclusions, I just want you to see how I got to mine.

Whatever, these people know nothing. Obviously they weren't kids who actually watched the show because I was one of those kids and you're 100% right — the value wasn't that you were being taught to read, it was that you were being to taught to enjoy reading. I mean, granted I'm lucky to come from a family where books…

Really? Wow, totally missed that. I will adjust my moniker accordingly.

My bf and I love Rich! (Or, as we refer to him,"Italian Jeff Goldblum") He was, by far, the least psychotic (with the notable exception of Jaqui's "St. Christopher") and best bespectacled husband.

I grew up in Maine where there are a crap-load of French-Canadian last names and the rule of thumb is: the terrible Anglicized version is always correct. There were so, so many terrible examples, but the worst was a friend whose name was Charpentier. It should be pronounced Shar-PEN-tea-ay but she pronounced it…

Yo, chill. It's a valid point, even if you don't agree with it.

I got just done writing the thesis for my MS in Communication, partly about misinformation in the legislative process (specifically the death panel myth about the ACA) and I can tell you that, sadly, correcting misinformation doesn't really work the way we wish it did, and usually actually succeeds in strengthening…

Seriously. You can't make this shit up! It's times like these I wish I had actual graphic design skills — Gay and Butch Otter is just screaming for some visual-pun meme action.

I'm a Maine native-in-exile. I've lived a lot of places since I left home and I couldn't disagree more. In fact, my #1 item on my five-year plan: GTFO of NYC and back to the sanity of The Pine Tree State. There's a reason why our motto is "The way life should be." Everyone I know lives who lives there wouldn't have…

ANY EXCUSE!

So, a few weeks ago I went to a wedding shower for a friend whose family are first-gen Indian-American (she's actually getting married in India, talk about cray wedding planning). There were probably 20 women there, mostly extended family, but a few friends were also invited. All the family members were wearing saris…

But diversity is one of the things that made Star Trek so great! Gene Roddenberry was like, but it's future/space/fantasy so I can make it whatever I want, and I want it to be inclusive and awesome:

Florida news makes the best "Would You Rather" fodder: nearly-naked fro-yo guzzling at McDonalds, or pants-less procurement of Franzia?

A brief interlude and tip of the hat to Paul McCartney, David Hasselhoff and Steven Tylerfor proving that Coachella is not just for the young.

This. I had Playmobil and Legos when I was a kid, they're both open ended and that was the fun! My (mixed gendered) friends and I would spend hours, sometimes days, making up stories, and building stuff. Playmobil has these theme sets like "pirate," "Victorian," "hospital," etc. and we each had a bunch of different…
