It's freakin' true. The hardcore Catholic side of my family that thinks Harry Potter was written by Satan refused to even allow any of their kids to go to any kind of sex ed classes and wouldn't teach them about sex themselves in any form; just "say no to sex before marriage" without even...

Dude, I thought my middle school's health teacher was the only moron who said that shit. When my sister took that class, her teacher said the exact same thing, and she responded with "Then why do girls get pregnant from rape?" She got detention for sassing the teacher.

Closer to the second one. That's... you're not Jigsaw or something, are you? Because that's a pretty hardcore deathtrap for ants.

That is.. very, very special.

Happy E-birthday! (admit it! share it with the internet! we can't judge you to your face)

Yeah, but you obviously post way, way more often than me. I salute you.

We all know that children are horrible little goblins with half-formed brains, but I would like to hear about stuff you did as a kid that could be (or were) misinterpreted at the time, or just seem really twisted in retrospect. My mom dug up some stuff I did in kindergarten the other day; she...

I got a ditto sheet that had pictures of the male and female reproductive systems and blanks so you could write in the names of the individual organs and parts and stuff. And when I say pictures, I mean cartoonishly-drawn diagrams from what I think must have been the early 70s. However...

On the subject of female leads, and basically anything regarding sexism in portrayal of female characters, I do have one game that I like to shine a spotlight on: The (original) Phantasy Star series. Phantasy Star was an RPG for the Master System waaaay back in the day, and it had a female...

I think sexism in games isn't really as important as sexism in gamer culture and the circular argument that keeps it that way. Girls don't play games because developers don't make games aimed at girls because girls don't play games. Most of the games that are geared toward a female...

Once I burned a copy of Ethan Frome that I was forced to buy for a high-school English class after I found out I couldn't get my money back. I hated every fucking thing about that story, and still do. It wasn't a book-burning pile or anything, and I didn't do it at school, I just took it out...

(Teacher) There are three major branches of languages in the world: Romantic, German, and Oriental. (Me) Okay. (Teacher) The Romantic languages are called Romantic because they're beautiful. (Me) *raises hand* Doesn't it have something to do with Romantic language having Latin roots, and...

Captain "Mad Jack" Churchill. Google him, and let your testicles shy back in awe at the sheer badassery that his story will spray in hot, sticky strings all over you.

My hometown's slogan, as in it's on our tourism t-shirts at the welcome center: "Our crackwhores can beat up your crackwhores."
