"Venti" does NOT mean large

LittleRed says...

>> ^Psychologic:
Ok, from what I can tell:
"Tall" means taller than "Short", which is a size that isn't on their menu but which you can probably still order.



You can. A short is 8 ounces, and is available at most every coffee shop, though they're guaranteed to gouge you on the price.

Southern California Sift-Up? (Sift Talk Post)

LittleRed says...

I would be able to make it with the change of date, but MG might be mad if I stole the car and he had to bike to work. And with his school date probably that weekend, I should be there anyway. Sorry!

Pavarotti in recital 1978

LittleRed says...

Listening to Pavarotti always makes me a little mad inside - I was a member of a touring choir for several years. One summer, we went to England, Wales, and Scotland. Our first day in London, we were outside some ritzy hotel where Pavarotti was singing for whatever ritzy company tea or recognition thing was going on up there. Our tour director talked to somebody in the hotel, and was told after he was finished, he would come outside to sing for us and meet us - a choir of young teenage hellions from Alaska. Long story short, our cranky old tour director waited outside for about half an hour and then decided she was tired of waiting, so she dragged us back to the subway, probably back to our hotel. We missed the greatest of the four tenors for that woman. I've never forgotten it, and I'm still mad.

Idiot Biker Eats Ravine Trying to Pass Van

LittleRed says...

As someone who has ridden motorcycles since the age of 10, these guys in the van are assholes.

1) They were ruining the corners for those guys on bikes. Okay, the motorcyclists still shouldn't have passed on a double yellow, but in many states, it's against the law to "hold up" 5 or more vehicles (i.e. if you're a pokey driver, or even going the speed limit but there is a line of five or more vehicles behind you, you are required by law to pull over and let them pass). So likely they were both in the wrong.

2) Those guys in the van, by not stopping, may have just cost that guy his life. It's obviously a remote area, and there wasn't much traffic either way. Suppose the biker broke a leg - not a far-fetched assumption, considering he just tumbled down into a ravine with his bike. How is he going to get to the hospital? The only people who witnessed the accident who have the capability to take the guy anywhere are cowards and just drove off.

3) "They're going to beat our asses?" WTF?! If that's their first reaction, they were obviously doing something wrong, purposely irritating, or illegal. No one's going to "beat your ass" to stop and offer help at the scene of an accident. Jackasses. And to cite "nowhere to pull over" as your excuse? Most of the motorcycles parked off the road - conveniently, they found space to pull over and risk dropping their $20K+ bikes to save their friend. You couldn't pull over in your piece of shit van?

Please take this out of the comedy channel. Maybe the biker was being dumb, but there's nothing funny about a motorcycle crash. If it was a car with a young family that went over the side, it wouldn't have been considered comedy. Neither is this.

Do not kiss this man!

"Inappropriate" Ad. Should Even Artful Nudity Be Banned?

LittleRed says...

Rolling around on a bed isn't artful. I didn't see this as sexual, but it's certainly not artful either - It's nudity for the sake of nudity. No woman is going to buy this perfume just because Eva Mendes is naked. I really don't see the point in some ads.

Contagious Skin Infection? Don't Tell The Kids Parents....

LittleRed says...

From Wiki: "Scabies is transmitted readily, often throughout an entire household, by skin-to-skin contact with an infected person (e.g. bed partners, schoolmates, daycare), and thus is sometimes classed as a sexually transmitted disease. Spread by clothing, bedding, or towels is a less significant risk, and is almost impossible."

From MedicineNet.com: "It is hard, if not impossible, to catch scabies by shaking hands, hanging your coat next to someone who has it, or even sharing bedclothes that had mites in them the night before. The physical contact required to contract scabies may, however, be sexual, and sexual contact is the most common form of transmission among sexually active young people."

Hand-holding won't do it. If your kids are engaging in skin-to-skin contact with employees at a clothing store, I'd be worried about that much more than them potentially getting bugs.

Also, most kids are healthier than adults. Kids get more exercise and have been exposed to environmental pathogens for a considerably shorter length of time. Children as a general rule have the healthiest immune systems. And your immune system really has nothing to do with bugs burying themselves in your skin. The body can generally kill off the larvae, but not the actual bugs, but that's not an immune system issue.

Contagious Skin Infection? Don't Tell The Kids Parents....

LittleRed says...

1) Scabies is not a disease. It's like lice, but sexually transmitted.

2) It doesn't take 4-6 weeks to show up, woman. Calm down. I don't care what the news report says - they're bugs. If you have them, you'll know.

3) I really don't see why everyone is so upset. The company closed the store as soon as they found out, and they're having it professionally cleaned. Wash the clothes and give the sluts time off. No harm done.

Same-Sex Couple Tries To Marry, Turned Away (Election Talk Post)

LittleRed says...

>> ^schmawy:
I'm sure that it's been said that homosexuality is equivalent to; left-handedness, color blindness, extraordinary artistic talent, mad math skills, double-jointedness, brown eyes, blond hair, in short we are all "aberrations" or variations on God's great theme.


Actually, it wasn't until 1973 that the American Psychological Association declassified homosexuality as a mental illness. Dr. Laura (from radio) ruined her career when she called homosexuality a "biological error" and "deviance in society." It wasn't too long ago... I remember listening to her show 8 years ago or so. Society as a whole hasn't come far enough to say homosexuality is just another "variation on God's great theme."
