Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

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

Disney's princesses reimagined as sluts. That's NSFW where I work.

I was thinking of saying it was borderline safe for work, as they're all clothed - I mean, at least as much clothing as a bikini. Is it the cartoon sluttiness that pushes it over the NSFW border?

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

Is it the cartoon sluttiness that pushes it over the NSFW border?

They're all posed and nigh undressed and nips pushed out and trampy. Not letting anyone see that over my shoulder.

Hey, groupon users! Question... are any of you participating in the Groupon Rewards Program?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, I guess so.

Oops, I didn't catch the nips on my first view. Anyway, I'll adjust my NSFW posting filter accordingly.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

are any of you participating in the Groupon Rewards Program

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

It wasn't mentioned in the article, but those Saudi religious "policemen" (are they real police?) will often go around hitting bad people with sticks, right?

tommy, they aren't the actual police; they are officials whose job is to patrol the streets carrying a big stick and watching for anyone committing a religious crime. Men and women who are seen in public together must be able to prove that they are related or married, or both are subject to arrest and/or being beaten on the spot. A woman might be beaten for such crimes as exposing her wrists, speaking too loudly, or laughing. I hope the woman who attacked the officer will be all right. I would bet the reason the man mysteriously collapsed was that he got gut-punched for defending her.

I've come to the realization that my body doesn't really find carbs agreeable, though my brain and tastebuds TOTALLY disagree.

Oh, I'm there with you! They have almost come to blows at times over cupcakes.

my Dad never had problems with lactose until he went off milk when he was on Atkins.

I think that was what happened to me: I had problems with gluten after I went on low-carb for a while and then went off again. I think the body has enzymes or something that deal with those things, but if you stop eating them, they go away.

and, um, maybe that's what that linked article said...
