Blogger If someone with too much time on his hands calls you something awful on his website?say, a Dale Earnhardt Jr. groupie or a remorseless wasabi junkie?it's as libelous and as actionable as if someone called you that in this magazine. If the insult isn't that clear-cut, or you're not prepared to go nuclear, you might try a maneuver suggested by Ken Layne, editor of the news blog Sploid.com: Set up your own blog devoted to your many sterling qualities, and get all your friends to contribute. "That way, their compliments will drive the other guy's criticism way down your Google listings," Layne says.
Hahaha. Yeah, right. :)
Further bon mots:
A Toxic Relationship Make a clean, decisive break, says psychologist Charlie Unger, who has a practice in La Cañada. "None of this 'let's still be friends' stuff," he says. "Don't try to hang on, or let them try to hang on. This is the antithesis of healing. If you really want to be friends, give it a full year of separation. And then, if you still want to, you can get back in touch."
Yes indeedy. This falls under the category of "Something my momma shoula told me when I was a toddler".
IF YOU WITNESS A:
Multi-Tasking Freeway Driver If the guy in the next lane is engrossed in his newspaper, don't honk your horn to get his mind back on the road. He might lurch into road rage mode. Burch suggests that you note the guy's license number, location and direction of travel, and report it to the CHP on its nonemergency number. The CHP will "at least try to contact the registered owner of that vehicle," says Officer Tomiekia Johnson, who does these phone follow-ups. "They're usually astonished we'd track them down."
Public Display of Consensual Sex You can watch passively, marvel at the bad manners of homo urbanus or call the police. In Los Angeles it's a misdemeanor to touch the genitals of another person for the purposes of sexual arousal in public places. Other jurisdictions have similar statutes.
So. Would public dry humping be a crime?
