This was our friends' son's first word, pretty much with that inflection. Mom is Guatemalan and Dad is American, both bilingual, so he was spoken to in both Spanish and English from birth. IOW, they have no idea if his first word was Spanish or English.

Wasn't New Freedom an old brand of maxipads? Or pantiliners or something? Made by Stayfree?

OK, so here I wasn't going to share that Freedom Tower immediately made me think of pads, because I had no idea why and didn't want to expose my demented brain wiring. But now I know there's a rational explanation for the connection! Thanks, Sophia!

Ann, that's a ferret.

we all decided we'd rather be watching it on Univision than ESPN (even though most of us don't speak Spanish), because their commentators actually care about the game. Plus, ESPN's commentators don't shout Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaal!

Is John Harkes on ESPN? If so, there's one reason to watch.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

No movie shall triumph over Snakes on a Plane. Unless I happen to feel like making a movie called, “More Motherfuckin Snakes on More Motherfuckin Planes.”

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

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
