"and that whole "wine tasting in the country" thing is an American invention, anyhow."
Seriously? Guess it's safe to say you've never been toured the wineries in Italy and France, especially the Bordeaux and Burgundy regions.

Re: “It's Happening Tonight!”
But...but I thought you weren't ALLOWED to write about anything PCS does!
Re: “Win Tickets to Blumesday!”
MY FAVORITE WAS "MORE TALES OF MENSTRUAL MARGARET." YOU PROBABLY HAVEN'T HEARD OF IT.
Re: “Win Tickets to Blumesday!”
Then Again Maybe I Won't taught me it was perfectly okay to be kind of perverted so long as you respect people. Are You There God, It's Me Margaret gave me insight into the secret goings on of young girls (this came in handy when attempting to talk to them at school dances). Forever gave me boners galore. Superfudge was totally over rated.
Essentially - Judy Blume novels were the Penthouse Letters of my youth.
Re: “Win Tickets to Blumesday!”
My favorite now, is Are you there god? It's me, Margaret. Because frankly I love to let my 12 year old girl know just how lucky she is to live in a time where getting your menstrual cycle isn't all about humiliation and wearing diapers to take care of it! I also love to read it out loud to really let her know, also that while we have come very far in growing up as girls. We are also still very similar to how it used to be.
Re: “Win Tickets to Blumesday!”
My favorite Judy Blume book is Wifey, because I found it in a box of my parents' stuff when I was 12 and I read it frequently for pages at a time.
Also, Fudge-a-Mania, because I had a total literary crush on Isobel.

No it's tonight! TONIGHT!
Re: “Win Tickets to Blumesday!”
Tales of a Fourth-Grade Nothing! As a kid I identified with Peter, the big brother, having to deal with his annoying little bro.

Love that guy!
Re: “Hitler on the Mounted Patrol: "Everyone Loves Horsies Even Though They Have No Functional Value"”
While there are a million of these on YT, I think this is probably the only one like this in terms of a small local issue
Re: “Win Tickets to Blumesday!”
@ Graham: I like reading but I suck at it.
Re: “Hitler on the Mounted Patrol: "Everyone Loves Horsies Even Though They Have No Functional Value"”
I will never get tired of well-done Downfall videos.
Re: “Coined.”
I always ship my furniture from Brazil, it's so hard to find here.
Re: “Asshole couple @ Kruger's on Lombard”
So it's "The Lombard" now? Isn't that just the cutest?
Re: “What Gives?”
They work those "Eyes Wide Shut" parties at West Hills mansions and either end up rolling in dough or buried in a secret grave.
Re: “Win Tickets to Blumesday!”
@Joneser: The event is tomorrow, not tonight.
Re: “What About Bob? Your Mad Men Recap”
Not proud that my first thought after Don's "Wah, wah wah!" was its off-the-charts meme potential.
Re: “The PDX Urban Wine Tour, Or How I Spent All My Money and Became a Huge Yuppie Wino”
"Diversifying away from the sacred cow of Pinot Noir, these small-batch operations are bringing wine making back to the city, as is European tradition. (And yes, they buy their fruit. Most winemakers, even out in the Valley, are not vintners, apparently, and that whole "wine tasting in the country" thing is an American invention, anyhow.) "
These statements are are highly debatable.
RSSGoing to Seattle?
Re: “Win Tickets to Blumesday!”
Wait, I was supposed to say what my favorite Judy Blume book was. It's kind of a toss-up; but it'd have to be either, "Ramona Quimby, Age 8" or "June B. Jones And Her Big Fat Mouth".
