  Say it with me now:

  Vagina

  — 

  I love where Kotex is coming from in their new ad campaign, and I hate that American television networks are prohibiting them from using the word “vagina” (or even “down there”, which is a horrid euphemism) in their commercials.

  Oh, to live in a society where we could just name our body parts.

  So. Say it with me now: Vagina.

  It never occurred to me the murderer was ME!

  — 

  When I was little I used to watch Murder She Wrote with my parents. And then I’d be all sorts of crazy freaked out. Like I’d make my mom watch me walk to my bedroom at the end of the hall after the show, in case any murderers were hanging about.

  We were just talking about this in the office. My colleague first wondered aloud if I was afraid Angela Lansbury might be hiding out in the hallway, and then he said, “The murderer was one of you all along!” Or something like that.

  Don’t believe just because you need an ointment to put on your anxiety.

  — Ranting over sushi about people’s discomfort with loss, tragedy and confusion and how they end up choosing to believe all sorts of crazy shit as a kind of intellectual salve.

  You might think you relate to this, on account of having a mind.

  — Discussing over dinner and wine with J, K, and C the often desperate justification of psychology as a “hard science.” The implied qualification being, “but you can’t.” And the further qualification being, “because psychology is an objective science, so any personal identification you feel is false.”

  Nice Rack

  Submitted by smartgrrrl:

  It’s a Scrabble joke. I’ve seen a couple Zazzle shirts in this vein, but they merely spell out “nice rack” in Scrabble tiles, which is just dumb.

  What I want is more esoteric. I want a rack with AEINST[blank], which is a combination that yields the most bingo possibilities on its own. And THAT image would be captioned “Nice Rack.”

  I, um, would also wear the “Sometimes I over-think things” shirt. Obviously.
