Reader Roundup
LatestToday’s best comments are more awe-inspiring than a mythical underwater beast.
Best Comment Of The Day, in response to RuPaul’s Drag Race Finale: Wig-Snatching & The Crowning Of A Champion: “I say this without hyperbole: This is a greater travesty than the 2000 election of George W. Bush. Maybe even greater than the 2004 election of George W. Bush. I hate this decision with the fire of a thousand hot glue guns. Raven forever! Vice Drag President Jujubee! Argh!” • Best Comment Of The Day, in response to Gross Anatomy: Disgusting Words For Lady Products: “Clitoris (when pronounced cli-TOR-is) reminds me of a mythological monster, ala Davy Jones summoning the Kraken. UNLEASH THE CLITORIS!” • Best Comment Of The Day, in response to Gross Anatomy: Disgusting Words For Lady Products: “When I was in 9th grade, a boy in my class was trying to be annoying by passing a note to his girlfriend asking her about ‘tampoons.’ That single misspelling and another guy’s response of ‘What’s a ‘tampoon’? Is it a cross between a harpoon and a tampon?’ has totally rid the word “tampon” of its grossness for me because I will giggle and ask for ‘tampoons’ whenever I’m in need of one.” You Say: “When I lead my violent feminist revolution, we will be armed with tampoons.” • Best Comment Of The Day, in response to Breast Intentions: “Glad to see that retailers are finally paying attention to men’s preferences when it comes to displaying clothes for women.” • Best Comment Of The Day, in response to Depressed People Eat More Chocolate:
Ode to Chocolate
NO, no! go not to Belgium, neither chew
Fudge-bane, sweet-salty, for its depressing end;
Nor suffer thy tragic face to be kissed
By Brownie Husband, this delicious spouse is no friend;
Make not your concoction of cocoa-powder,
Nor let the Thin Mint, nor Chocolate Chips be
Your mournful Psyche, nor the Oreos
A partner that makes your sorrows sadder;
For Toblerone will come too easily,
And increase the desolation of the soul.
