Will that be cash, credit or COW? Happy Friday, Crasstalkers. Amurricans, you are headed into a long weekend. Enjoy yourselves without getting into trouble. Canadians, you just had a long weekend so suck it up. The rest of you–I don’t know what to say. Remember: if you would like to nominate a comment for Comment of the Week, please take a screenshot of it and send it to me: crasstalkcow at gmail. If it’s a long thread just screenshot the first comment or two, but always remember to tell me what post or OT the comment comes from. Okay, munchkins, are you ready to relive the week and laugh once more? Good. Hit the jump.

Thursday

Homoviper updated his John Waters post. Jarrod’s blind items are here. Lauren called you fatty fatty two by four and squeezed you through the kitchen door. What’s that? You say you aren’t fat? Oh, well no matter, because Lauren also had news for the skinny minis: your tight jeans are killing you. Jeez, Lauren, are you trying to give everyone a complex? In the OT, a typical Crass discussion–this one on kissing–became quite revealing for one commenter.
Elsewhere in the OT, there was a butthurt-fueled whine session on meme primacy that eventually devolved into giggles.

Lauren told you about the words Maryland doesn’t want on your vanity plates, and Cunning_Linguist got you ready for the greatest SyFy movie of all time.
COW
Teenagers. Even when they’re good they’re bad. Momof3 discovered this week that when your teenager has an electronic device connected to an Amazon account with your credit card on file, there will be shopping. First came the bikini bottom. Then the top. Then the self-tanner. One commenter was able to defuse the situation before Momof3 went nuclear. I give you your Comment of the Week.
Nice work, munchkins.
Until next week.
