Comment on The greatest typo since the Mormon Church accidentally allowed blacks by admin

I only singled out Mormons because they happened to grab a headline for something comical. All religions are equally nonsense in my eyes; no special designation for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. My position on this matter is more defensible and causes fewer fistfights than being a Red Sox fan…

I love to feel superior to Mormons. Thank you for anticipating that many of us would need an embedded link to Mirriam Webster to understand the word apostate.

excellent shot. these kinds of shorts are called “yimps.” you can also call them “yimpers.” i’ve got a site i’m building called site.yimpfest.com (still under construction, but a placeholder is up there). We are hoping to sell sweet yimps within the next several months. also, do image search on google for “yimps” for a similar roller rink shot taken in orange county.

I am more than impressed by your ability to keep eating while your appetite was facing such adversity, as well as your ability to evoke the scene so clearly that I almost gagged on my salad. Either impressed or horrified, actually.

Comment on Why I love dogs by NPO

1) What will we clean up dog doo with when all the newspapers go under? Will we print out articles to use to clean up poop?
2) I think less people are picking up their dog’s doo because (a) they are grocery shopping less and therefore getting less plastic bags (b) they may have canceled their newspaper subscription to save money
3) What will the impact on the level of dog doo be from the decline in use of plastic bags and the rise of reusable canvas bags or biodegradable paper. I predict a rise in dog doo, especially in neighborhoods near a Whole Foods.

Comment on The correct way to dispense toothpaste by NPO

Also, my grandmother puts a binder clip on the tube as she rolls it up, so that the toothpaste stays near the top and there is no chance of it retreating to the far corners of the tube. She also uses the binder clip to hang the tube by a magnetic hook under the med. cabinet. She’s very organized.
