Spare me your "Phosph this and Phosph that..."

Is your constitution shattered? Do you poop out at parties? Then try...

Yanno, if it's good enough for the frickin' Empress of Russia, it's good enough for me.

Question: Where do people get old magazines anymore? I don't see them in thrift shops or garage sales like I once did. Maybe Estate Sales are a better bet? This ad came from a book about World War One.

Observation for Mods: If you want a physical prize for the barf food contest, have you considered sending the winner several boxes of Lime Jello? Then they could create their own wonderful dishes at home. And it's gotta be ~Lime~ - I'm just sayin'.

I read an article in Readers Digest that said it should be legal to deny equal treatment to people on the basis of religion, gender, sexual orientation, etc., because people just aren't ready to accept that women are equal to men, non-Christians are equal to Christians, and gay people are equal to straight people. So it's perfectly okay to deny someone a job because they're gay or Jewish or female. But it's not okay to discriminate on the basis of race.

And this was NOT in the 50-year-old edition, either. This was about five years ago.

My parents had a subscription to RD when I was growing up, and I read the funny animal stories and "drama in real life" and the cute little things like "Humour in uniform" "All in Day's Work" and "Life's Like That." I didn't read the political stuff because it bored me. Now my dad buys me a subscription for Christmas every year, and I still don't read the political articles, because they piss me off.
