by the way, Trainwrecks?
natface:
I ain’t mad atchu or anything, but the British rule of grammar allows for logical distinction as to when punctuation goes inside or outside quotation marks. Take for instance:
Did he say, “Good morning, Dave”?
No, he said, “Where are you, Dave?”
Allowing for us to you know, use our minds a little bit and draw a real conclusion as to when, perhaps, punctuation would best be utilized...

BUT…
do I DO this? He can’t even pick up the phone and call me. DO I DO THIS???
I’m sorry. This is Gratuitously-Needy-Thursday.
It’s funny. A week or so ago? I started to write a post that took place in the future in which bowlingalleylawyer and her re-boyfriend went to the shooting range and then came home and had missionary style sex. I got bored five seconds in...
How I Lost My Virginity (The Best & Worst Moment...
singlemansdiary:
I had a best friend through elementary school & jr. high who moved away to Utah in 8th grade. We kept in touch here & there. Probably 8 months or so after he moved I called him one to say what’s up and talk about WWF or BMX or whatever I was into. This is what he tells me:
“MAN, things have been CRAZY here! I got a girlfriend now….and we’ve been having SEX dude! I’ve...
“It must be understood that AA is a fellowship of addiction, and not a fellowship...”
– Rational Recovery from alcoholism and drug addiction, gambling, sex addiction, porn
I wonder if this is true? Because I’m inclined to believe negative things about AA, but didn’t know that.

Good Morning
maryrambin:
For those of you who chose to use that as your headline and completely missed the real message I was trying to send, you have failed as a reporter and as a woman.
See, that’s funny, because I think when you call other women failures as women, and when you spend your days hocking what is well-documented as bad and often harmful science to women, and rationalizing surgical...
Good Morning
maryrambin:
Yesterday was a whirlwind of a day huh! I ended it with a couple martinis because I really didn’t see all of that coming - at least at the same time.
Anyway, I’m moving on and I hope you do to.
Before I do, I want to say it was never my intention to offend anyone with the Roe v. Wade reference. Of course I don’t think Botox ridicule is even close to comparable to the mental...
we are all narcissists
So soupsoup once said all this shit below there about credit for original content or ideas on tumblr (he’s for it, apparently). And he lives by that, obviously. He’s like always blogging content and ideas that are original…to someone anyway (also he spells “missile” the same way Julia Allison does, but that’s neither here nor there). For instance, his...

Your local English teacher agrees. No matter how many times I say this, write this, or correct this, my students still write it “alot”.
Periods go inside quotation marks.

jgh:
Well, you can’t win everything. I’m willing to give the president a pass on this one, so long as he continues to show a commitment to reproductive rights.
Hell no. If this isn’t in the stimulus plan, existing programs could be cut or eliminated. Family planning is in everyone’s best economic interests, so no fucking passes.

Um, nope. I’m good.
Update On Pakistan Missle Strikes
soupsoup:
Even thought the Obama administration has tried to make a sharp break from Bush’s national security policies, these are the first such attacks inside Pakistan since Obama was sworn in.
NBC News has learned that these strikes did not require specific approval from the White House. Although apparently President Obama was briefed on the mission.
The strikes are part of a long running...

– For the record:
signing a bill to allow foreign abortion funding = arrogance
buggering little boys and then covering it up = A-OK!

Don’t forget holocaust deniers. Reinstating them on the same day you condemn abortion arrogance? Not arrogant.
Also it’s not abortion...

herheadhurts:
Stimulus for the international abortion industry. Rock on.
What the fuck, man?
So Obama’s authorizing American tax dollars for foreign abortions while we’re already spending trillions of dollars now, which we don’t actually have, on an economic stimulus package, which most likely will make the economy worse? But we’re gonna go ahead and pay for these foreign abortions anyway?

jaimeleighfairbrother:
So I just assume that they have nothing snarky to say and they are holding me up as a paragon of all that is right with Tumblr.
Thanks, Trainwrecks.
Yeah, all two times we reblogged you? Two times in a row? Those two pathetic attempts at Deep Thoughts: Blogging Platform Wankfest Edition that were moronic and contradictory? Clearly, no one on tumblr would get it...

soupsoup:
An illegal nanny takes down another political career.
That’s not in any way what that article says. It’s not even what that headline says.
jaimeleighfairbrother:
That being said, we’ve all chosen to blog on a platform that inherently encourages and nurtures the sort of trends or memes we’re talking about. We’re not using wordpress or blogger, we’re using Tumblr—that which spins around reblogs.
listen, people
jaimeleighfairbrother:
You know what? Tumblr is Myspace is Facebook is MSN is Gawker so SHUT. THE. FUCK. UP.
Acting like Tumblr is some supremely different beast is retarded.

Senator Kennedy Is OK
soupsoup:
Senator Kerry said that Senator Kennedy is feeling much better. Laughing and joking, and a bit embarrassed.
He is hoping to be out of the hospital by tomorrow.
I love how soupsoup blogs this shit like he got a personal phone call. (Like that time he ripped us off the other day.)

Last weekend the Tennesssee TItans lost a heartbreaking playoff game to the Balitmore Ravens as a result of: a couple bad calls, no bounces going their way, and an injury to their best offensive player right before halftime. Despite all the bad breaks, the Titans still had a chance to win the game without about a minute-and-a-half left, although they couldn’t pull it out.
By the end...
Turning the other cheek
This is pretty cynical and low, even for Julia Allison. When did you have this Paul moment (look it up)? Last year, you say? But it’s suddenly necessary to tell the world, not when people whose attention you’ve BEGGED for are saying nasty things about you on the internet (they’ve been doing that for a while now), but when it seems like there might actually be a sea-change...

I HAVE A PC DREAM
Oh yucky. A white trash oil heiress co-opting powerful civil rights language to attempt to prove herself witty or smart on her grabby but otherwise pointless “lifecast”? That would be a big fat, non-juice fasting FAIL.

Let us not wallow in the valley of despair, I say to you today, my PC friends.

Oh BrianVan…making the women the issue — isn’t it always the way?

Hey Guys,
If you ask a girl out on a date… make some damn decisions. Don’t wait until 6:30 to text, “I’m still at work” when you haven’t even laid out where we’re going to meet or what we’re doing or ANYTHING. And then don’t say, when you finally call at 6:50, “Where do you want to go? You know this neighborhood better than me.” No I don’t. I’m temping here!
Now I’m...

One small quibble
Oh Joe. You really seem like someone who respects women. You clearly respect your girlfriend, as evidenced by your feeble attempts to denigrate her views in public on the internet. You’re very respectful in addressing her comments, as evidenced by your conflation of “a simple come-on” (addressed by your girlfriend in the post you link) and men shouting obscenities at women from...

As someone who will actually admit to enjoying this site (the rest of y’all do, or you wouldn’t keep returning to comment), the people that keep posting the same nasty comments about the girls ruin it for the rest of us. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but once is enough! Sure,...

This article would be interesting if it was written by someone who isn’t shallow — for instance, that “fat” picture of Drew Barrymore?? Not even chubby.
I’m pretty sure that if these women weren’t celebrities, no one would agree with those articles. They look like normal, beautiful women. I don’t see why they should feel pressured to be ungodly thin or in perfect shape just...

Let us catch you up to speed: whatcriscilikes seems to “like” all of Julia Allison’s posts. So obviously she is 12 and that explains everything. Onward (we’ve edited a little):

Oh honey. You hock your wares right next to this on the internet? Here are some discussion question to keep you busy for a few weeks until Rex undoubtedly calls:
Personal attraction between two people differs from one person writing an article on the internet about many women he’s never met. How?
What makes this article “awesome”? Is it that points out how some women...
