Anti-southern prejudices often grate on me because they're not a terribly powerful group. On the other hand, we don't help it out much when we have huge swaths of our population unwilling to admit that we have ever done anything wrong.
This is not funny. This... this is a morality tale about the evils of sake.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
From that list you'd think the only good eats in the US were on the coasts-oh and Texas BBQ, which is fine, but where they really excel is chili.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Come to think of it, there wasn't a single Caribbean or South American restaurant mentioned was there?
The best ceviche is in Lima.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
my brother says prejudice against rednecks is still okay :)
Ah, yes. Rednecks and hillbillies.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
misogynist can direct his hate towards women who are fat, and disguise it as "disgust at fatness" when it's really hatred of women
Silly girl. It's not "disgust" they're just so terribly concerned for our health. You know, since they're perfect strangers. You should see them flag the personal ads of smokers and people who don't wear seatbelts!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Which may be why the definition of "fat" has expanded to smaller and smaller sizes as the other prejudices get driven out of acceptable common conversation. If every woman over a size 6 is "fat", then they get to hate almost all of us!
I was thinking about personal ads recently, and how you describe yourself, and was thinking how I have an almost precisely Rubensesque body, but I bet if I said that in writing, most people would not picture me.

People telling me "not to worry" about mac. really new afterschool lady? He DID run out of the last afterschool on three different occassions each time an escalation of the last. You have seen him what, all of one day. I will believe that he will try his best to stay in control, and I will believe that you will do your best to keep him safe and not running away, But DO NOT tell me not to worry, you jacktard.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
Also, right now I'd kill to be a size 14 again. That is NOT fat.
You and me both. I find a world in which Allyson is not considered a great catch rather depressing.

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
Aw, thanks, Ginger. I think I'm a pretty good catch, too. And i make rockin' fried chicken on top of all that.
But I'm under 5 feet tall, which means, well, yeah, I'm fat.
