exactly. my kid won’t have seen that (as i don’t have any yet), and so i won’t tell them about it. let the virginia public education system handle that one with the grace and fairness that it does so many other subjects.

also “sideboob”. 2 words: “granny panties”.

“finally! i can vomit completely publicly and with virtually no shame, as i’ll be wearing a giant bib!”

i couldn’t watch to the end–i got way too scared.

um. not to sound too forward (and i totally never throw this statement around), but i think i might be in love with you, mans.

wanna get married?

ugh why’d you have to spoil it??!

i mean. it would be a lie if i said i wasn’t a little impressed.

i have a headache just looking at those.

i agree. it’s all kinds of fucked up everywhere. also, i think people might not stop and realize that, while his IS an amazing story, it IS just that–a story (that was shelved [for, i believe, some weeks, correct me if i'm wrong] by the guy who captured it until he saw the perfect slow news day come along), and Ted Williams is just a guy. He is a guy with an amazing talent and it is, like you said, very sad and wrong that it had been ignored for so long and he remained anonymous for so long for such stupid reasons. but he’s a human being and his story should teach us something, but he’s also just a guy who has faults.

can i also throw in that i don’t know which was more appalling: the grammar of that article or the comments section?

thumbs up how to lose a guy. AWFULLLLLLL. also, frost yourself.

OMG GABE.

i JUST woke up from a dream in which i was getting ready to go out and do some last minute christmas shopping and my front door was wide open. i looked up and you were there (Dream Gabe was shorter than i imagined you to be)! you gave me the greatest gift of all, which was informing me that you would like me to post for Videogum! and you gave me a computer program in a box that looked stepped on and, for some reason, an iPad, which i never wanted, but who isn’t greatful for that (way better than bookes, which are poop)?? we had a great, funny, slightly awkward time together (like i always pictured it to be), and you met both my grandmas (even the one that i think doesn’t really like me). then i still had to go to TJ Maxx and get presents so we said our goodbyes and i said thank you about 8 dozen times and wondered if it was real and would we ever meet again. i wiped off this drool and am posting this comment about it that i hope does not post as a reply to the awesome comment before mine because sometimes technology is funny. happy christmas eve to you and yours and birdie!

and that is a wonderful mantle picture!

i own that book and have tried and failed to get past the first 30 pages about three times. i still don’t know what the first thirty pages is even talking about, aside from a lot of bananas. i think.
