I think I almost made a co-worker cry. I'm not entirely sure why or how.
I don't give a good gorram about relevant, Wash. Or objective. And I ain't so afraid of losing something that I ain't gonna try to have it. You and I would make one beautiful baby. And I want to meet that child one day. Period.

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

Now, THIS is offensive to women
OMG. Hate.
The thing about the St. Pauli Girl ad brouhaha that annoys me is that NOW has taken a position on it and I think it makes them look over-reactionary. As per Jesse's link, there are MUCH more offensive - and dangerous! - acts aimed toward women happening every day. Condemning this ad just seems... weird. And kind of dumb.

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
Did you punch her in the face?

Oh, shit. You think that was it?

Depends on whether she was slicing up onions before you did it.
Could be a toss up.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
thanks for the perspective, Jesse. Maybe that should be sent to NOW

and now I have Robin's number. OK, I am SO cell-phone challenged, it isn't even funny. I don't use it often, so I forget how. And then actually talking on them? Oy. They fluster me.
So if I sound like a moron, blame 50% on the device. The rest is pure me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Luckily, it's not like NOW is making a huge campaign against that ad, as far as I can tell. They have a whole page of offensive ads: [link]

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Thanks, Allyson! And, Sara, no matter how dopey you sound, you can't sound more dopey than having to leave your phone at home because you forgot to charge it, so you have it all over me in this instance.
