I can't even.

Personal ad question: Can I like some who refers to "John" Stewart?

Tough call. I'd say quiz them on their knowledge of Stephen Colbert skits and if they do very well, they're in. If not, they're exposed for a poser.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Regarding bathrooms, I was mildly annoyed when I realized that the woman in the stall next to me at the rest stop was talking on her cell phone. What boggled me was when she told the person she was speaking to that she had a call coming in and said goodbye, then started talking to the other person.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I was afraid of that.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

ita and other tennis fans, I skimmed through The Rivals at lunch and I think you want to read it. It's about Chris Evert and Martina Navritilova and their rivalry and their friendship. It's really an amazing story.

I didn't realize that Chris met her current husband while visiting with Martina in Aspen after the breakup of her marriage. Or that Chris stayed with the Federation Cup even though she was sick and injured because they were playing in Czechloslovakia and Martina hadn't been back since she defected. Or what a good tennis coach Renee Richards was for Martina. Or how hard Chris fought back over two years to get competitive with Martina during her dominant years and take the French in '85. It's epic!

Always Anti-fascist!

Maybe, Jesse. Jane Fonda loved DeNiro in "Stanley and Iris" even though he couldn't read.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Can I like someone who refers to "John" Stewart?

Who are you? Allyson?

What do you have against Green Lantern?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

OMG, Jesse just copped to being a cowgirl.

Har. That would be hilarious.

Dude. Yellow.

What kind of personality/humor does Green Lantern have? Maybe that IS what the guy meant.

Art Crawl!!!

That book sounds very interesting.

I discovered Chocolicious WonkaCakes at Walgreen's on my way home today.

They are individually wrapped Hostess chocolate cupcakes and to be more Wonkalicious -- the filling and the icing are purple and the decorative squiggle is orange. (My Walgreen's only had them sold in boxes of 8 individually wrapped cupcakes. Your WCMV.)
