I’ll be awkwardly molesting you through your TV screens on August 15th at 8pm on the TV Guide Channel’s History of Sex.

Lunchtime interview #2: Kara Dennison; nugget lover, theft victim
Today we caught up with the lovely Kara Dennison, 29, who lives and works in Newport News, Virginia, as an editor for a news website. Kara tried to order a tuna melt for lunch today but accidentally received dick sandwich, hold the bun. She ended up going to Chick-fil-A. Read on for details!
That isn’t a tuna melt.
Kara: It’s not. I ended up getting Chick-fil-A chicken nuggets and waffle fries and some Dr. Pepper.
I’ve never been to a Chick-fil-A but I hear it’s amazing.

Today we’re chatting with the lovely Kristan Sydboten, 22, who’s a hairstylist in Hattiesburg, Mississippi and who, according to her Twitter bio, is “smarter than you think.” Apparently so because she gamed the system by sending in a photo of her friend’s lunch instead of her own! Shifty!
Not Kristan’s Lunch
Alison: So wait, you didn’t eat this Chinese food?
Kristan: No, I had Subway. Do you want me to pretend I ate her lunch? Read the rest of this entry »
RECAP: Mad Men, Season 4, Ep 2, Christmas Comes But Once A Year

Sally dreams of a burger
The episode begins with the faux Drapers (Betty, the three kids and that senator/congressman/whatever he is guy) at a Christmas tree farm. I’m excited that in the dead of summer we’re watching something Christmasy because I like Christmas. You know who else likes Christmas? Read the rest of this entry »
