They'd had this same issue with the same ShopRite before. The ShopRite had also refused to make a "Happy Birthday JoyceLynn Aryan Nation" cake and to decorate a cake with swastikas. On those occasions, too, they went to Wal-Mart.

Hec, my MiL has several antique doll houses. She has let the kids play with some of the less valuable dolls and furniture for a couple years. Now that Franny is all of 5 she has decided that the girl is old enough that she can play with one of the houses too; it's from the 1870s or so.
So, um, 4 or 5?

So basically, we're just looking for publicity and expecting that the American public is too stupid to realize it. Because really, we just wanted them to have names that no one else in the world did.
Oy.

I got a big Victorian Wooden Dollhouse when I was 30? But it was mostly because I was dying for one when I was 6-8 yrs old.
I was gonna say 40+, because I STILL covet a big Victorian Wooden Dollhouse. Not that I have anywhere to put one, or the time to lavish on such a hobby. But still. Wanty.

Somebody please remind me that I have better things to do with my time tonight than argue with biblical literalists.

I was reminded on Ta-Nehisis Coates's blog today that reason #1 for rejecting a biblical argument against gay marriage is that polygamy and concubines and all the rest were A-OK in biblical times and communities. Argh.

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

Took me 5 episodes to work out why the show is called "30 Rock." And to decide it's not for me. I don't like the supporting cast enough.

Was that still true in New Testament time? The Leviticus prohibitions can be ignored because of all the other rules that are no longer enforced, but I'm not sure what the best counter to Paul's prohibitions are. Aside from Paul being a general all-around "I hate everyone who's not me" type.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Why? It's not for me enough that I've never made it that far.
