Before clicking, ask yourself:

  1. am I wearing a hand-loomed pashmina?
  2. did I find it so very taxing to select the tumbled marble tiles for the foyer?
  3. are my children named implausible nouns, or after characters from books I studied for my Comp Lit degree which sits covered in dust in the maid’s room?

If so, you might not enjoy this piece.

This is hysterical.

3

Underplace and WonderPlanet…brilliant!

LOL. Oh wow. So funny!

[name]Non[/name]-gender-specific leg warmers… This article just made my day. Thanks for sharing, blade! :slight_smile:

6

Hysterical, oh yes!

7

I loved this so much that the strength of my feelings might actually be ethically questionable.

8

Loved it! Thanks for sharing!

9

Ha! Funny stuff.

As a school-aged child of the 80s in the [name]Pacific[/name] Northwest, my parents sent my sister and I to an alternative school, where I took (amongst other things) pottery, meditation and kung fu lessons. This strikes uncomfortably close to home. :slight_smile:

Bwahahahahahahaha!
I’m sure I’ve run across this very [name]Jyll[/name] [name]Cimmaron[/name] Stelton at my food coop, with her kids [name]Sonnet[/name], [name]Cascade[/name], [name]Nebula[/name], and Diaspora! Side-splittingly funny, thank you [name]Blade[/name].

This too. The first minute:

Diaspora! I’m in tears!

13

hahaha that’s great!

14

Oddly, I feel so much better about myself now.

15

I’m waiting to see “Diaspora for a girl?” pop up in the girls forum.

16

No wonder our world is in such disarray! I don’t blame the author for not allowing comments. I’m sure he’d get an ear full…eye full!

17

Completely hilarious.

The author, [name]Paul[/name] Rudnick has written a bunch of stuff, including a book called I Shudder and Other Reactions to Life, Loss, and [name]New[/name] [name]Jersey[/name]. It’s a great read, especially if you liked this article. Thanks for sharing, [name]Blade[/name]!
