Absolutely the best thing I've read this week

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.

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:

Hysterical, oh yes!

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

Loved it! Thanks for sharing!

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!

hahaha that’s great!

Oddly, I feel so much better about myself now.

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

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!

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]!

The Darkling Shrew! That selfish B*tch with her social work!
