I was watching Rachel Maddow (with David Schuster subbing) yesterday, and they had a brief story about the first woman to win the Nobel Prize for Economics, Elinor Ostrom of Indiana University. It was really startling for me, because she pronounces her last name exactly the way I do! Very strange to hear my last name coming out of the tv.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

This cupcake tastes like unicorn pee.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
This cupcake tastes like unicorn pee.
And how do you know what unicorn pee tastes like?

Oh, I've been pronouncing it wrong then.

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

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

You missed the most eloquent, thought-provoking, snarky....
Yeah...I got nothin'.
Cilantro? Olives? Serial commas?

All I know is, Robin Williams' legs frightened me. Wow.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'd let Thomas Jane wear my skirts. Or my pajamas.
Wait, I don't own pajamas.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Did anyone post Christina Hendrick's wedding pics? Her dress is so pretty. She looks gorgeous.
Just don't read the comments. I think that's just good advice in general, actually. FTR, I think she looks lovely. I think letting everyone wear whatever they wanted with sort of a vaguely antique theme was clever, and I like the results, and her husband looks like the kind of quirky, fun guy it would be a joy to be around (and I think the brown plaid suit is just fine for what they were going for).
Suck it, LJ commenters.
