Didn't we have this discussion:
NY Times on 'bitch'. "Epithet Morphs From Bad Girl to Weak Boy " [link]
They pretty much manage to dance around the sexuality of the phrase when applied to men outside of Oz, that is.
Book: I believe I just... I think I'm on the wrong ship. Inara: Maybe. Or maybe you're exactly where you ought to be.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
frugal != dumb. Do you get the whole day off?
Oh you bet. I plan to then sit outside the coffee bean writing in my journal and looking pretentious.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Don’t’ know what you consider cheap, but I’m a big fan of Jones New York. Their suits are separates, which is good for my weird body, and the styles are very classic. I still own my first JNY suit that I bought after college. A jacket and a bottom would run about $300, but if you hit Macy’s at the right time, you can do much better. They also do great plus sizes.
Also, JNY is often at Marshall's/TJ Maxx. That's where I got my suit from.
Allyson, that day sounds faboo. May it be so.

Art Crawl!!!
Reading that "bitch" article. You know what pisses me off? You can't use the word in the original meaning on tv. Or at least the people who are commentators on televised dogshows now seem to say "female" when they mean bitch.
Except for the BIS judge at Westminster. It was refreshing to hear her call that nice GSP bitch a "bitch".

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
So, I remember someone complaining about the big stretched pig Web ads she was seeing. I'd like to add my vote (in the category GetThisOffMyScreenNow of the Year) for the little "hit the bug and win an iPod" ads. Or any that feature speedy little cockroaches crawling through the ad, and thus in the corner of my vision while I'm trying to read a page. Eeeuch.
I turned off flash, which helped with some of them.
So I guess my firm is the only one with problems accessing nytimes.com, etc. (Also Drudge.) Weird.

Yeah, I e-mailed you something along those lines. And, er, porn.
