Our pals at Asylum have a story about a restaurant chain in Thailand called Cabbages And Condoms. They believe in forgoing pretext and safe sex. It is now my favorite establishment, surpassing Tattoos and Cappuccinos.

What he's thinking when he seeks out a mistress less attractive than you.
When my high school boyfriend cheated on me, I found out the other girl's Instant Messenger screen name and "confronted" her online. (Not the most mature move, I know. But give me a break! I had just turned 17.) You know what this bitch had the audacity to say to me? "I've seen a picture of you! No wonder he cheated." Owww.

Living out in the sticks of Western Massachusetts as I do, there are only about 40 women on the dating site I'm browsing who meet my criteria.

Marriage is hard work, we know, but sometimes a couple can put everything they have into making their relationship work, and it still goes bad. And then it gets worse, when it comes time to divide up kids, pets, and that signed vintage copy of Thriller that you swear was originally yours.

Famous people's divorces are nasty, mudslinging affairs, but damned entertaining ones.
