@Megano! Haven't there only been like seven confirmed survivors of rabies?

On Look, We're Gonna Talk About the Gatsby Trailer Now
@Ophelia "I am unclear about why this movie stars Leonardo DiCaprio and not John Hamm."
Probably because Shutter Island. And J. Edgar? Maybe also Revolutionary Road and Aviator? And Gangs of New York.
Are they even allowed to put the man in non-period films anymore? Do they call his agent and say "We're looking to put Leo in a sort of The Other Guys meets Jaws 3." and get back "Okay, but it's got to be about bootleggers and have Nazis for bad guys." I mean, I get that he looks good in spats and suspenders, but I'm not sure that's a reason to set Black Hawk Down 2: Down South during the Spanish-American War.

On The Best Time I Watched TED Talks as Foreplay
@SarahP I love me some sexy showers, but if your showering is kind of on the awkward side, I can see that turning into a Liz Lemon joint with a quickness. And then you get none of the sex, so I can absolutely feel people who are all "No, not sexy showers, anything but sexy showers, let's just sex right now! Filth-sex, right on the unmopped floors (sorry A Clean Person)!"

On Friday Open Thread
After @halfheartedyoga's suggestion of Instapaper in the last Carolita article, I am archiving half the Hairpin for further reading on my kindle. This makes up for the fact that I dyed my hair brown after over a decade as a redhead and the mister's reaction was "I...can't really tell the difference?"

@The Kendragon What an awful person. May his knives be ever dull and cilantro taste like soap in his mouth.

On Not Chasing Amy
@theharpoon Well, when the Hairpin Time Machine is finished, we can take him back to that night so he can make his past self tell her that no, she's not staying until she can save enough money to bail.

On "The Proxy Marriage"
@aphrabean Basically the way I see this is like this story, only the main character gets kind of mad at the coat for going home with someone else and the drunk-dials are directly to the coat.

On "The Proxy Marriage"
@sudden but inevitable betrayal You can even have a novel version of it with a lasting love and an eventual romantic relationship and happy ending! They just have to be in love with something aside from each other's hair/miraculous ability to keep his dick out of other waitresses.
I'd have been a lot more sympathetic to this story if they'd kept in a lot closer touch, and she'd had a chance to see him really come into his own as an artist at the same time he'd had a chance to see her as a real human being instead of an unattainable crush-object.

@Megano! :/ That sounds more like he got Beavis-and-Buttheaded on the vaccine than him having actually contracted rabies.
