I have a Beastie Boys rant. I AM VERY ANGRY.
I should go calm down.
Angel: You know, I killed my actual dad. It was one of the first things I did when I became a vampire. Wesley: I hardly see how that's the same situation. Angel: Yeah. I didn't really think that one through.

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

This is the part where I pop my head up and suggest nasal saline a couple times a day. Because it helps flush the nasty pollens out so there's less irritation.
Right. I need to get back to doing that. Because I suppose burning down the giant rhododendron bush that's right outside our bedroom window is overkill, isn't it?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Are you people sure that trepanation is a bad plan?
I was just listening to the This American Life archives and came across a story about a man who did research into just how many actually useful, symbiotic parasites our cleanly modern life may have eliminated, and remains convinced that he successfully cured himself of lifelong debilitating allergies by infecting himself with hookworms . He then went on to a brisk internet business selling them to other allergy sufferers, but the FDA shut him down and he and his family have left the country.

I've read about him, JZ. I gotta say, he fills me with a mix of "go you!" and curiosity as to how bad one's allergies would have to be to make hookworms sound like a reasonable trade off.

Seriously, Burrell. My sinusitis is annoying, but with that as an alternative, I'll stick with my Claritin...

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I read about hookworm guy a while ago. It all sounds completely reasonable. Except for the "here, swallow this hookworm" part.

I've read about him, JZ. I'll admit, during the bad days, I longingly think that some hookworms, leeches, and laudanum would take care of a lot of the health problems I'm dealing with.
