Because books.

Unrelatedly, can anyone verify or debunk this (NSFW text on SFW image)?

What now? The aroma is supposed to make you better lubricated ? Or make it smell better?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

and I feel really bad that I have nothing to say in return except "thank you"!

But that is the appropriate response. You don't have to return a compliment with a compliment.

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

The situation room photo made my blood boil yesterday. I was chastised because sexism is ok as long as it is for religious reasons.

Also, I got a royalty statement for $5.35 for Vampire People. I'm still sort of shocked that people buy it. Let's go dancing!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

In regard to the rapture, I have a card I'm sending a friend. On the front is a vintage picture of a nun and it says "After the rapture". On the inside it says "can I have your stuff?"

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Hey, so you know what's better than suspecting your shower has a leak? Discovering at 9:30 that the other shower in your house is not working.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

One of my student interns baked banana bread and brought it into the office today. I can't speak for the population at large, but I feel same as ever.

Dana, urgh.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Yikes. Every time I click on a link that goes to the LA Times website I get a photo of a face transplant guy in the sidebar and it's really an horrific picture.

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

Five Tips for Curing Vaginal Dryness

Banana bread is one of the five. But I don't know how reliable this source is.

Another link: [link]

Certain smells can actually increase vaginal blood flow. The odor of Good & Plenty combined with cucumber increased vaginal blood flow by 13 percent. Among women who reported becoming extremely aroused by masturbation, a combination of Good & Plenty and banana nut bread showed a 28 percent increase in vaginal blood flow (Get baking, boys!) according to research done by Alan R. Hirsch, M.D., director of the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago.

OK, enough googling for now.

Glad to hear your DH is on the mend, Scrappy.

Much peace-ma to Nora and her family.
