Stupid Guest Tricks

I saw a modern dance production this weekend which was a reworking of the 1912 ballet "Afternoon of a Fawn." There were a number of talented dancers, including one lead dancer who, like the woman barred from the coaster at SeaWorld, was born with no hands. She also wore prosthetic legs. Th...

"She" got promoted because she probably flirted and or slept with the supervisor. ;) Before you say something like that again, take a moment to consider: If KingIslander's incompetent coworker had been a man, would you have said, "He probably flirted and or slept with the supervisor&...

I've never participated in the SCA, but I used to go to the northern CA Renaissance Faire every year back when it was at Black Point Forest. These days I go to Dickens Fair instead, although I'm usually a bit anachronistic because I prefer bustle to hoop, and this year I went even farther afield and...

Just got an email reply from Dianne Feinstein. She says the bill actually is aimed at internet piracy, not everyday users. She admits that the bill needs some work on it, but the First Amendment would not be affected. Yeah... she's wrong. There's so much wrong with both SOPA and PIPA that they need...

Part of Russia? How do people even come up with these questions?

Are you sure they're not just trying to mess with you?
