"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I find Eminem unpleasant to listen to from a vocal standpoint as well as the questionable lyrics and douchey personality aspects. And my jaw dropped at the idea of him and Rhianna collaborating on a song about domestic violence. But, the refrain is the best singing I've ever heard from her.

I had to throw out my George Foreman grill this morning. My attempt to clean it was derailed last night by the realization that the smell it put out when I turned it on wasn't so much "old grease" as "burning mouse poop," and no amount of cleaning would ever be enough.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I read it a number of times, and IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. You can't do that. Not in 2010. You just can't.

Yeah. But I'm wondering - was it just one idiot who thought this was a good idea and implemented it? Or did a group of idiots have a meeting and come to that conclusion?

I have a local friend from MS, and she posted that article and noted that she was "Best Dressed White Girl, 1987 also Most Beautiful White Girl, 1986" at her high school. She wasn't even particularly surprised by the article.

Our wings are not tired.

But, the refrain is the best singing I've ever heard from her.

So true. I think it's the lack of autotune.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

But, the refrain is the best singing I've ever heard from her.

So true. I think it's the lack of autotune.

This is a really depressing statement.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

"Best Dressed White Girl, 1987 also Most Beautiful White Girl, 1986"

Is attempting to reach jaw that seems to have relocated to the floor.

And I am from the South.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

"Best Dressed White Girl, 1987 also Most Beautiful White Girl, 1986"

Did they also have a Best Dressed Black Girl and Most Beautiful Black Girl? Because while horribly horribly horribly wrong, I could see that they're thinking, "We need to be equitable and have 1 white/1 black of each thing." Misguided, but coming from a good heart.

See, I think they wanted to avoid angry calls by parents of white children if a black child would ever win.

ChiKat, I think so.
