    I think the Abercombie-wearing idjit that uses the term “cougar” should get 50 lashes. Sorry to hear you have a migraine. :(

    I don’t know. I have a migraine right now and I think not kissing is still annoying me more.

    OMG, almost died when I read PMS merchandise. HEEE. And not to be picky, but I think Rachel Ray should’ve somehow made this list.
    Great post! Sorry you had a migraine! (When I’ve got one I’m usually too busy throwing up to try and come up with a list this funny)
