Reading this made me flash back to Baptist bible camp in the ’80s. (I know…) There was a “lake” in which we could all swim, but the girls had to wear “modest” one-piece swimsuits with a big t-shirt over them, […]

I read The Oatmeal, and have read his entire comic website and most of his offshoot sites. I follow him on Facebook, so I read new stuff when he posts. I find him to usually be ridiculous and funny (although he’s […]

1. What is your favorite word? pulchritudinous, verisimilitude, etc.–pretty much any multi-syllabic SAT word
2. What is your least favorite word? Another vote for “cunt”
3. What turns you on? I’ve forgotten.
4. What […]

Your response to “hated noise” makes me laugh because my sister and I discuss that very thing! We call it “chop-licking” or “chop-smacking” (about the mouth). Her dog does it often–he’ll clean himself and is very […]

As a bus slowed to a stop at the bench, the old woman stood up, opened one her of enormous bags and motioned for Spike to jump in, while saying, “This bus stops at the terminal, then we can go to any destination you pick.”

My niece gets some money from the state of Georgia from the lottery system to go to school, but I don’t know how much it is. When I was in college in the mid-1990s in North Carolina, we didn’t yet have the […]

Seriously, U.S. “higher” education, pay attention. I will never pay off my student loans that I accumulated getting an English degree at a state college.

I want to sit on the front porch w/these folks (except for hipster-glasses-wearing dude who is trying too hard–methinks he owns the proverbial red two-seater sports car) and talk about kids today.

I came across this video, and it’s so awesome, I just had to share. I had a bit of a visceral reaction to the title “Elders React to Nyan Cat”, but nevertheless, the video is still awesome. I want the woman in the […]

I’m about to start my period, and this phenomenon pretty much renders my anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medication useless. I am an (extra-) raging, crying, fearful, impatient, hungry, miserable, hopeless sack […]

I’ve lived in my current condo complex (I own my condo, much to my chagrin now) for 11.5 years–I don’t think grilling is allowed here at all. Throughout the six or seven years of previous apartment-dwelling, rare […]

Weeeell, I am a lazy vegetarian and don’t eat enough vegetables. :( Also, there’s only me and two cats in my household and I hate cooking. I’m getting better about eating more fruits and nuts. On the very rare […]

I live in NC (home state) and my sister lives in GA. It’s hotter than the devil’s armpit in GA starting in, like, March, but it’s lovely there!

I have The Break-Up on Bravo on in the background, and it reminded me of this Patton Oswalt clip. (Shouldn’t it be “breakup”?)

What’s so hard about going down to the yard or sidewalk, assuming they still get to grill? Also, what’s so great about eating carcinogenic meat anyway, says me, the vegetarian.

I had to look it up on the Urban Dictionary. (Warning: not for the faint of heart.) I wanted to make sure I didn’t dream it and mistake it for real life, which I have done…once or twice.

Seriously. This post spoke volumes to me, and I assume to you, too.

My city and county have various sales taxes added on to the state base sales tax. We have the highest in the state (of 100 counties). I know–I should move, but I’m an idiot and I bought a condo here 11 years ago. […]

I woke up after eating dinner (I’m a bear, rawr) to this television commercial for Axe “Anarchy” pole-cat stench body spray and deodorant.

So, so much wrong with this. Yeah, I realize I can’t expect much from […]

That Facebook post is just gross. Facebook seriously brings out the worst in humanity. Not difficult, I know, but still…
