Yay I called the Bestie a Bestie first! I feel so validated by the Jez editors now.

AWESOME. I am staggered at the awesomeness of someone defending the pussy whip with genitalia slang. Its meta.

A "Yay!" to Brendastarlet for the bestie!!!

So, is that a co-bestie? Congrats to both!

And damn, today's worst was actually really bad. Hope that asshole got banned.

Congrats, brendastarlet!

Ha, the word twat AND a condescending "it doesn't become you"?
Be still my beating heart.

Those economy comments were insanely funny. Kudos to both!

@NefariousNewt: @Meg: thanks, you guys! After our lunchtime discussion of orphanage, this really lifts my spirits.

And congrats to you, too, Peppermint!

I LOVED today's bestie, it was an actual laugh out loud moment.

Was the worstie aimed at another commenter? Because that is kind of... twatish.

Two great besties. The links aren't working to the worstie - was there some context? Please?

@DorothyZbornak: They did! Hooray!

@Khrushchev: (get banned, I mean).

I'm happy to share with Peppermint (one of my favorite flavors :)

Well, worstie was well deserved. And looking back, there were numerous quotes that could have been pulled from this person (though personally attacking another commenter made this one the winner for me, too).

@nellicat: A commenter had made a remark about how he would never want to change his name to his wife's because all his friends would make pussywhipped noises around him. I asked if he was 12 or his friend were 12, b/c anyone who does that needs to grow the fuck up. Which led to this classy, classy guy calling me a nasty twat.

My twat, by the way, is rather peeved about being dragged into this, as it has always gotten excellent feedback in the past.

And once again the feature that lets me jump from a response back to an original post is worth it's weight in gold. Hours of drama are distilled into mere seconds.

@BeckySharper: Yeesh. Worstie, indeed. That poor wife!

@BeckySharper: Heh. How much negative feedback have you had in the last 12 mos? The last 6 mos? How many stars? Are you a power seller?

Sorry- Ebay has obliterated that word for me.

@lolacat(ΩΜ): Lol! I'd never thought of it that way! Should I set up a PayPal account?

@lolacat(ΩΜ):

Can we have a super meta Bestie for tomorrow in today's Bestie thread? Cause you deserve it.

I'm tempted to fwd the besties to my economics prof. He might keel over from laughter and meet his untimely death, but I think he'd be ok with going out on that note.

Well done, brendastarlet! (And Pepp!) I just took my econ final exam this morning, and that made me LOL at work. My boss thinks I'm crazy now, but it was well worth it.

I knew the name change thread would garner a worstie today. There were a couple to choose from IMO, but it was, nevertheless, a really great discussion with a lot of bright observations and different opinions.

@Political Party Girl: Anything to alleviate finals stress. Well, that and primal screams.

I love when the Bestie is a two-fer. Yay teamwork!

@BeckySharper: Depends- are you a professional or an enthusiastic amateur? Otherwise, Paypal may not be your best choice.

Ach! My mind is so in the gutter!

@lolacat(ΩΜ): A dirty mind is a terrible thing to waste ;)

@nadarine: @Political Party Girl: As long as your prof gets the joke (I've told it and gotten blank stares.) I hope it eased the sting of a final!@Begorrah: Thanks!

@brendastarlet: Congrats! I laughed for a while at that one - and so did my co-workers! (Oh yeah, I showed your work off to many!)

@Political Party Girl: I just took one today, too!

... this had better be a good omen.
