Beer tasting! I love buying interesting new beers and trying to figure out what I taste in them, but I suck at it so far. That would be such a cool, cool, dream job-- as long as it wasn't swill like bud light.
I think that Khede Kasra story from feministing deserves its own separate story on Jezebel. That video is fascinating and brings up a lot of great points on gender and language.
@kansasgirl: agreed. That was fascinating. Watching feminism in real time in another culture -- through grammar -- and seeing it be successful is inspiring.
Out of curiosity: why is this ('stout' to describe this woman) not "body snarking" and yet other (as I perceive them) equally humourous and inoffensive comments get leapt on?
I agree with the policy of avoiding commenting on people's bodies, I get depressed and exasperated with all the comments about weight, but I am clearly at a loss to work out why some things are all right and others not.
@Yaffle: I was reading through this thread to see if anyone else had made this comment. If it's a play on Belgian beer, where is the beer? What I see in the photo is a heavy woman who is apparently in Brussels. Why is this a joke and funny, but not funny and a joke if a commenter said it?
I nominate the title "Brussels Stouts" for a worstie.
1. That is not a John Deere Tractor-don't be fooled people!! 2. I had a whole thing how I was going to joke about FINALLY seeing a bad picture of Liv Tyler...but I cannot make it work.

@CurtCole: I think she falls in the grape category of the color wheel.
