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

a fun alternative to paintball.

Okay, paintball marks you. I'm scared to read that article and find out they're putting paint on the tampons, because that's just...yeah, no.

NSYNC's on hiatus? Isn't there an expiry date on that? Especially since Justin's an actor now (heh), and at least one of the members is nearing 40?

Separately, Happy Birthday Kat!

I think I would prefer single column, but I have no claim of layout skills.

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

Does Mark Bittman not know there are taco trucks in New York too?

I'm on a torta craze lately. Tonight will be milaneza and a jamica.

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

I took my car into the shop this morning. The engine light came on last night and stayed on. I don't know why I'm so paranoid about it. I hate using vacation time for this crap.

I would have preferred this to happen on Saturday, so I could take a nap until it was fixed.

Oh, and hey, Happy Birthday, Kat!

Tampons are way too expensive for that shit. I'll stick with marshmallows, thanks.

Grrrr. Am an idiot.

I meant Happy Birthday Kat!

Gar, either a single column centered on the propeller OR more space between the columns with the downward arm of the propeller directly in between the columns.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Yes. This.

I knew a guy in college who thought all feminine hygiene products were horrible, unclean things. Not used ones (I'd understand the squick in that case), but a plastic-wrapped, unopened tampon was horribly untouchable. One fell out of my purse once and he jumped back 3 feet. And he wasn't kidding.

Once, in high school, a guy friend of my sister's was playing around in her purse, pulling stuff out and taking inventory, out loud. She tensed up when he came to her tampon case, worrying about his reaction. He just thought it was another package of make up--or else he was too embarrassed to say what it was.

I like the new commercial where it shows a middle-aged black guy browsing in a drug store. He brings a box of tampons up to the counter where the teenage clerk rings them up. He carries them out to the car and his young, teenage daughter is crouched in the passenger seat, too embarrassed to buy them herself. The voice over says, "it takes a man to be a dad." That one gets me every time.

I agree, Gar. That page seems overly busy. More white space would make it easier to read.

Oh, and happy birthday, Kat! Conga line!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
