I’m 28 and I am still sorting through being “The Smart One.” I hardly ever feel very pretty, and I get super insecure if someone challenges my intelligence. It’s pretty silly to say out loud, but it’s very true.

7-Year-Old Critic Declares Worst Part Of Muppets... →
Last night on the Late Show, Jason Segel played show-and-tell with what he calls his “new favorite possession of all time,” — a framed comment card from an early screening of his new Muppet movie. The flick was played for test audiences of both adults and children, and the producers received one comment card that really stood out. When asked what he didn’t like about the movie, a seven-year-old...

Tuesday, by act of Congress, pizza was declared a vegetable. The Spending Bill before our elected officials contained an Agriculture Department provision recognizing that school kids are dangerously obese, and that subsidizing school lunches of frozen pizza and french fries is unwise and unhealthy. The Congressional response: a slice of pizza = a serving of vegetables.

on marriage
Wes and his buddy Payton were eating dinner in our kitchen last night, when Payton asked about the wedding photo on the wall. I told him it’s a photo from the day we got married.
Payton: “What’s ‘married’?”
Wes: “When there are two persons together … that stay together … that really stay … every day … that means they’re married.”
I may have to frame that quote and put it next to the photo.

Ainsley: I am so tempted to use the term vertical taco in my book and I just can't
me: like about vaginas?
Ainsley: Yeah. About having phone sex when you can't put your mouth on her [whatever]
me: I don't like calling vaginas tacos because I really like eating tacos. Like the really kind
Ainsley: Oh my god. Elizabeth. That is one of the funniest things you've ever said ever.
Whether or not you know it.
Ainsley: And, I love burritos, not tacos
me: is that code for dick?
Ainsley: So maybe there's some sort of converse response when it comes to eating pussy
This morning on the way to work I saw a billboard...
Suddenly, I remembered seeing a billboard a few weeks ago and thinking, “Oh, look that’s Leonardo DiCaprio. Oh, wait it says J. Edgar. WEIRD! I didn’t know Leo looked like Hoover.” Right-o, brain. Because obviously J. Edgar Hoover would be playing himself.
