On Is Joe Lhota Ready To Be Mayor?
I want to hear more about the fighting rats. Are there rat pits where they battle one another before a cheering crowd? Can you place bets?

On We Used To Wait
A friend of mine with a three-year-old son was telling me about how they were driving somewhere with the actual radio on and some song he liked came on and he demanded that my friend play it again. When he tried to explain that that wasn't how radio worked, he was met with baffled, teary rage.

On "Misfits of Science": The 80s TV Show That Only Courteney Cox Survived
oh my god I loved the IDEA of this show so, so much as 10-11 year old and insisted on continuing to watch it even after it became obvious it was terrible. I remember watching it on the tiny TV in my bedroom because there was something actually watchable on at the same time that my dad wanted to see.

On South Brooklyn Has Lost Its Real Estate Mind
HEY, Exhibit B (81 2nd St.) is actually my friends' house! It's a really nice place. I have dined/partied there. Nice light, even considering the first floor is sunken, nice backyard. They only bought it a couple years ago from someone who lived there a long time, and now need to sell it because of non-house-related life events. The kitchen needs to be updated, which they never got around to doing. I'm not sure why they didn't put up pics of the super nice master bathroom they put in upstairs.
It's really a nice place in a great location. Is it worth $1.4M? I mean, IDK? New York real estate prices are just insane moon man talk to me, but whatever. Also has a top floor apartment that produces $2K a month in rental income, FYI.

On Half a Tweet! Gawker Headlines Max Out At 70 Characters Tomorrow
@IBentMyWookie wasn't one of Denton's fixations at one point getting new traffic? Like, that was the number ppl were supposed to be going for, rather than returning traffic? I mean, I guess you'd want/expect new people to come via social sharing, not Google, but still.

On Ask Polly: I Am 40. Will I Be Alone Forever?
Maybe this is shallow but on the very long list of reasons why I'm super glad to be married is WAXING. Due to the male gaze, I had always thought of this in terms of "Thank goodness I will never encounter a waxed lady area and have to pretend that I don't find it unnerving" but now apparently I would be required to WAX MY UPPER ARMS??? No thank you forever, ugh ugh ugh ugh
