Comment preview: I ruined a woman's 40th birthday party. I had been seeing two married women, J and M. They were friends, but neither one knew I was seeing the other. M started getting attached, and wanted to leave her husband for me, so I had to end it with her. I was st ....


Comment preview: Is this article a joke? The President has a certain amount of political capital to spend in the first years of his first term. What Obama was reluctant to do, was to rally for gay rights openly. He wasn't *late to the party* he has biding his time while ....


Comment preview: **SAP Protip:** Don't be "fashionably late" to parties, especially those where you only know few other guests. There is a weird notion that being the first to arrive is undesirable, because 1. [this guy](http://i0.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/002 ....


Comment preview: Exactly. *The stain is on them.* The thing is - everyone drinks, everyone dresses attractively, and in the modern world, with electricity at night, everyone works late, travels late, goes out late. Parties are always in the evenings. From the point of view ....

Comment preview: Yo, words are the barest tip of the iceberg of the cool shit about human language. If you hear a word you've never heard before, you look it up or ask what it means or try and infer from context. But totally out of context you can hear a sentence no one ha ....


Comment preview: Okay, so I for one can actually relate to this kid. And please remember he is in fact a kid, how many of us have held on to silly beliefs and "I know everything" attitudes in our teen years? I would bet money on this poster being a "late bloomer." When y ....

Comment preview: This will get buried as I'm so late to the party, but: At work we have a Delicatessen counter (I'm a retail manager for a supermarket), that does daily tasters on some of their products. One day, we had a nearly 100 worth of Cadbury's Mini Eggs going out ....


Comment preview: To be quite honest, you're about to start a fantastic game. I too bought New Vegas way late to the party. I got it in July (I think) and played it pretty much non-stop. I loved it so much that I bought all of the DLC packs, which says a lot because I've ....


Comment preview: To be totally honest, though, all of us are ignorant as fuck about some things. We just don't always *know* that we are until we've personally been affected in some way or another. It's totally common sense for you to support the right of gay people to get ....

Comment preview: The baseball part yes, that's right. I was saying it as a joke. Like it's pretty funny in movies how they make a big deal of it. My parents never ever showed up at my rugby games, even though our team was pretty amazing. Only time some family showed up was ....


Comment preview: Went to Pitt. Everyone in Squirrel Hill has stories on Wiz and Mac. I kicked Wiz out of one of our parties sophomore year. He rolled up with a crew of 5 or so at like 2:30. Kegs were kicked and we were getting into some personal liquor stashes. He does ....
