Project Runway Season 10 Episode 6 Liveblog

Well, Crassers, we’re whittling down the sewtestants. We saw Raoul come back and get booted again, and we saw Elena begin to lose her marbles in the weirdest way. Anyway, what’s up tonight? Apparently, the designers have to “create new looks for women who have just gotten new hairstyles.” Actually, this is the “real woman challenge,” so we’re going to be treated to many comments about how awful it is to design for women who aren’t a size 0. Join us in the comments as we snark and drink and snark some more!

Should You Try Mobile Dating?

Oh, technology. There’s so much of it to go around. Our smartphones are practically on their way to being able to launch missiles. (No one tell us if smartphones can already launch missiles.)

The Lubbock County Emergency Management Guide

During a discussion about a potential tax increase in Lubbock County, Texas, Judge Tom Head explained that such an increase was necessary to plan for various emergency contingencies. Among those possible scenarios, Judge Head suggested the county needed to prepare for reelection of President Obama. He explains, “He’s going to try to hand over the sovereignty of the United States to the UN, and what is going to happen when that happens?” After you clean the coffee from your screen, feel free to read that last sentence again. The President, the United Nations and presumably, the New World Order are coming for the good citizens of Lubbock County and one man aims to stop it, Lexington/Concord style. Continue reading

Today in WTF: Booze, the Great Equalizer

Do you feel oppressed by affluent, white males? Are you struggling to fit in with your peers? If so, you may want to start binge drinking in order to boost your social status and satisfaction.

Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son

Binge drinking is defined as 4 or more drinks for a female and 5 or more drinks for a male. Sounds like a typical Tuesday Friday night right? Continue reading

If I Never Would Have…

There are plenty of times in your life when there’s a fork in the road and you wonder “would would have happened if I went the other way?” I often wonder what my life would be like if I stayed in San Antonio for college instead of moving to New Orleans. I think I’d have continued to work in retail, continued living with my parents and generally, would not have learned how to exist on my own.
