Bassie: You know what’s been bothering me lately?
Me: What?
Bassie: If someone says “it’s cold outside”, you can’t respond by saying “It’s”.
Pause…me thinking…
Me: You’re right, you can’t. And if I ask you “have you done your homework?”, you can’t respond by saying “I’ve”.
Pause…her thinking…
Bassie: No, you can’t.
Me: That’s weird. Because those are both technically sentences [...]
Yes, Holden Caulfield said that. Whatever.
The point is, I was just reading a particularly well-written and no-holds-barred critique of the anti-vaccine movement in WIRED, and it just got me so mad.
Mad at the parents who, in the face of what must be a terrible mix of helplessness, guilt, and fear, would rather blame the closest [...]
Yeah, see, ’cause this is their actual uniform.
But really, you know, thank God they’ve got the zinc on under their eyes. Safety first, right?
(Now, um…whatever shall I do with this crisp dollar bill?)
So this girl caused quite a stir this past week! If you’re a comment whore like I am, you can get a sense of America’s reactions by reading all 500-some comments on Cindi Leive’s blogpost there (my favorite is the one from the 47 year-old exercise fiend who claims that both she and her husband [...]
Dina: They always say “worries for another day”. So they never worry.*
Bassie: (not missing a beat) Then what is the trash heap for?

Look, Maxim, far be it from ME to claim to be better at creating a misogynistic and opportunistic list of hot women based solely on an algorithm that looks something like: (actual attractiveness) x (projected gross of upcoming movie) + (how much their publicist paid you), but when will Olivia Munn get her rightful place [...]
I am not one to use the term “TMI” lightly, or, really, at all, but this may actually be a case when the phrase is decidedly apt. Not because the following information reveals too much about my private life, but because it is a truth which, before one experiences one simply does not believe, and, [...]
Of course, only in an alternate universe does the funny girl really get the cover by shitting out a chicken.
It’s like Tina Fey reads my blog…or my MIND!
Again? Because, really, by the look of this cover, it appears that “sexy” is, in fact, the new “sexy”, regardless of how “funny” Ana Faris is.
…because I didn’t know that one of Michaela Watkins’ talents was doing a retro burlesque show as Rebecca De Mornay from “Risky Business”.
