"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

wealthy self-entitled "adult" douchebag deliberately makes her feel like shit and makes her friend cry.

What's sad is that wealthy self-entitled douchebags, such as Andrew Carnegie, give money to libraries instead of telling little girls to suck it up.

The mouseover text is definitely worth checking out, on the 'parody' site. You might learn a thing or two.

Kat, I'm so sorry. How awful for you, how awful for your students.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

American Jewistas: Is there a Jewish custom analogous to the Christmas "brag letter"? It's a long story, but now I'm really curious(And, yes, that does relate to the Emanuels.)

Not really. Some people send out that sort of letter with December holiday cards. I think that Rosh Hashanah cards have been around for longer than Chanukah cards (I've seen pictures of Rosh Hashanah cards from around 1900 or so), and writing in a few sentences about what everyone's up to is relatively common.

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

A Difficult Goodbye

Army Reservist Staff Sgt. Brett Bennethum was ordered to Iraq in July. His four-year-old daughter Paige had a hard time letting go, so much that she held onto his hand in formation. No one, including the commanding officer, had the heart to pull her away. The picture of the incident, taken by Paige’s mother, has gone viral and touched people all over the country.

That picture's worth more than a thousand words.
