So there is something I can do, besides scream like a woman?

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

I've heard some similar urban legends.

There's a similar variation on that legend in HIGH FIDELITY (the book, though they did film it for the movies and it's a deleted scene) where a PO'd wife is trying to sell her husbands record collection at a ridiculously low price (including a copy of the Beatles "Butcher Cover" LP). If I remember correctly, the main character turns her down (out of record-collector empathy), but assures her she won't have a problem finding someone who will buy it.

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

If I remember correctly, the main character turns her down (out of record-collector empathy), but assures her she won't have a problem finding someone who will buy it.

That's exactly what happens.

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

At a blog I read, someone wondered what Homer was planning on doing with that donut. Perhaps some sort of ring-toss?

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

Hee!

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

Oh, I wasn't clear earlier. I was talking about replying to fan mail.

I did reply to the asshole, with links from 2004 that prove she's making shit up.

I'm still so angry I could piss nails.

Am I mistaken, or has this been a particularly wacky tour de France?

Now tagless for your comfort.

Photoshop Posh's legs. I'm so confused! My own inclination is to think that the nasty stems are the real deal. Since she admits she doesn't excercise at all--just maintains her stick figure through strict dieting.
