On Your Eyes Are Gay-Detecting Machines
I refuse to even harbor a guess anymore. I am not so much naive as I am inattentive, seeing as I remember being shocked when George Michael came out.

On Cilantro Dissidents Identified
Is there a gene defect for people who like Cilantro way,way too much? Cilantro is like catnip to me and I find myself having to justify my love way too often.

@The Dependent Clause Me too. I know of two bands that got their own band names from this very song as well.

On Understanding What Ladies May Not Wear to Prom
This makes me feel all kinds of things, but mostly it makes me feel *glad* that I only have sons, *bummed* that boys don't get called out on their slutty, slutty cumberbuns, and *hella old* because back in the day, all we worried about was that we didn't all get the same Gunne Sax dress from Susie's Casuals or Dayton's.

On Dear Human “Best Friend”: Please, Please, For God’s Sake Please Turn Off The Noise And Flashing Lights Machine When You Leave
I leave Public Radio on for my dog, but only because I am trying to train her to eventually attack Neil Conan.

I watched "The Last Waltz" again last night in his honor. What a class act.

I usually fill the role of the indignant midwestern type, but Abe Sauer does it much better than me. Until he goes insane and start cussing all over the place. WELLSTONE 4/EVAH!!!

Why would he leave any digital trail? I am just a big fat nobody in the midwest and even I learned my lesson from the whole Krucoff/Vanity Fair debacle in 2005.

On 'Gone With The Wind': Devil In A Black Bombazine Dress
When I read GWTW at age 14 (summer homework assigned by my mother, btw), I caused a huge family fight when I declared I pretty much thought Scarlett was a huge bitch who brought all her misery on herself. This got me PUNCHED by my 19 yo sister, who honestly tried to fashion herself as a modern Scarlett. My mother took this as a perfect time to explain to us what bordeline personality disorders are and why some people deliberately sabotage themselves at every turn. My dad took this as the perfect time to tell my sister she was being super annoying with her fake southern accent and good lord there are six of us sitting at the table at our cabin fighting about GWTW and to please kill him now.
