ML Observations
I'm having fun lurking on ML. My observations:
1. I like all of their SN's. They are clever and not wedding related. Are they not knot throwbacks like most of us? I'm not sure I would have picked "TamponMary," "Boobytrap," "ClaireHuxtable" or whatever when I signed up for the knot. Awesome though.
2. I'm still uncomfortable with the using of "retard" - but if I say it in my mind "rih-TARD" a la The Hangover, it makes it 97% more funny.
Anyone else have anything?
Re: ML Observations
I like as many of them as I dislike, I think. It's a good balance.

Vinny, you know you can't just leave that dangling without a name.
I forgot to add about the use of "retarded". I don't take issue with the use of it, necessarily. I do think some of them throw it into their posts because they think that alone makes what they're saying funnier, and that's dumb. But I do take issue (and I know I will describe this badly, but bear with me) when it gets connected to someone with mental retardation. For example, if you say "I am so retarded", I don't think anything of it. But if you say, "You are more retarded than Corky," I do. It's my own arbitrary reasoning, I realize, but if you're throwing the word around in its slang context, I don't care. Associating it both as an insult and connecting it to mental retardation bothers me.

I bet you and I are thinking the same thing, and I am going to hell also.
one of you better spill it
I thought I might be on the same page, but then I noticed another one and thought maybe that was it. Now I'm wondering if I'm even in the same book.
I love Bugle as much as I hate Vinny and Jens.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that. I feel fine with callouts on posters, but not to attack children, but the picture does kind of give me the skeeves because of the kid's eyes.
Christin made me genuinely lol.
now I have to go find the poster (and feel like a meany mcmeanyson who is probably going to have an ugly-as-hell baby because of this), but I am 90% sure it has already caught my attention over there and I already had that disgustingly mean thought.
oh, and Calie, I totally get what you are saying about connecting "retard" with a person being worse and I have to admit, I have made a joke or two about Corky in my past. Sometimes I am a horrible person, though.
Word and this-ing you.
So, leaving aside comments about the little one, his mom has some craaaaaazy eyes (see How I Met Your Mother) of her own.
For less then ten cents a day, you can feed a hungry child.
her kid is blind you dummies!
gah!
lol.
Wow, some of you really suck.
I just got my period.
I am giggling at this.
I know albinos. Some of them are my best friends.
