Why Constructing A Makeshift Bra Out Of Duct Tape Because Your Top Has A Complicated Cut To Its Front And You Don’t Have Time To Go To Victoria’s Secret But You Really Really Want To Wear This Particular Top Tonight, is awesome:

The [Academy Awards] ceremonies are a two-hour meat parade, a public display with contrived suspense for economic reasons.

If there is one thing you should have learned in 50 years of marriage, it is not to set up secret tests for those you love. You only succeed in bewildering and embittering them when they unknowingly fail and you go into a funk.

People make it sound like before iPods and other portable electronic devices were introduced, everyone loved each other and gathered ’round a campfire on a subway platform singing Kumbaya. People, get real.

Yes, John Kerry made blogging easy and now that he’s gone theres hardly any sport in it at all. The minute he opened his mouth it was as if you could hear carnival music and your vision was filled with the sight of a line of target ducks that would walk right in front of [...]

The sad thing is that this news is neither surprising nor unique (þMalkin):
A father killed his wife and four daughters in their sleep because he could not bear them adopting a more westernised lifestyle, an inquest heard yesterday.
Mohammed Riaz, 49, found it abhorrent that his eldest daughter wanted to be a fashion designer, and that [...]

It needs a poet to chant the epic of sex. The mystery of it puzzled the minds of the earliest Sumerian thinkers. As a source of deepest excitement, it generated the most revolting ceremonies, bizarre customs, astounding cruelties and incomprehensible stupidities of the race. Men and women, as soon as they have done with their [...]

Huh.
I took a typing class in hi skule, one of the few classes that actually taught me anything worthwhile, and after a semester was up around 40 or 45 words per minute.
And, while I type a lot (I do fancy myself a writer, after all), I’ve never clocked myself at much more than 50 wpm [...]

This was strongly recommended to me by Herself, and is at least the third book I’ve read at her instigation1.

“Useless” appendages, I don’t mind keeping around— things like my appendix, which just hangs out and takes up space, neither being productive nor making me miserable. But boy, you know the *second* that fucker turns on me, I’m having it snipped out without a second’s consideration.

Extinguish my sight, and I can still see you;
plug up my ears, and I can still hear;
even without feet I can walk toward you,
and without mouth I can still implore.
Break off my arms, and I will hold you
with my heart as if it were a hand;
strangle my heart, and my brain will still throb;
and should [...]
