-- Kentucky Equality Federation received reports that a Franklin County High official allegedly sent an email to teachers instructing them not to allow homosexuals to leave class to use the restroom. The email was allegedly sent after two female classmates were caught kissing in the public restroom. And I'm sure just as soon as they catch a heterosexual couple making out in, say, the cafeteria, they won't allow any of those kids to eat in school, yes?

-- Chace Crawford could be playing footsies with Hayden Panettiere. The Heroes starlet has auditioned for director Kenny Ortega's updated remake of the classic '80s flick Footloose. Oh, and also, it's a musical. I have a headache. (To be fair, there's about 90% of me that's appalled and 10% that wouldn't be shocked if it rolled past appalling and turned out be a pretty good movie.)

-- Rob Thomas from Matchbox 20 Twitters his support for gay marriage. Awesome straight-forward comebacks to those who Twitter back their arguments against it.

-- Kenyan Women Pull The Old "No Peace, No Sex" Gambit

-- Oh, God, Lindsay, I know we've shouted at you to wear pants in the past when you've worn leggings, but at least those went over your underwear. Granted, those are probably wee little bikini bottoms, but they look enough like simple black panties where ... NO. PANTS NOW.

-- The FDA is telling people not to take Hydroxycut, due to it being linked to severe liver failure in users.

-- I talked my relatives into going to the cafe and they all love it. Woohoo!

I hope every single gay, bisexual, or straight-but-sane person in that school starts peeing in corners in protest.

Get your Lysistrata on, ladies of Kenya! I have to confess, as I was reading that, I could not get the "I will not point my slippers towards the ceiling, I will not growl like a lioness" line out of my head, and the giggles have yet to subside.

Rob Thomas is the bomb!

Dear Kentucky School System:

THIS IS WHY YOU FAIL.

No love, Catie.

I hate to say it, but during the summer we get a lot of people who walk around in swimsuits like that. And this is in Kansas. Every time the Country Stampede concert is in town or there are a lot of people out on the nearby lake, there's a good 5% of the population in nothing but their swimsuits and a shirt, maybe.

I've been making this face :D every day since RT opened that particular can of worms. I mean, seriously, JUST WHEN I THINK I CANNOT POSSIBLY LOVE HIM MORE.

Thank you for all your awesome random links <3

What is the difference between underwear and bikini bottoms anyway? Material? The fact that it's fine to wear a bikini in public but not a bra and undies has always, always baffled me. You walk around in jeans and a bikini top and you're hot (in certain contexts); you walk around in jeans and a bra and you're crazy. WTF SOCIAL NORMS.

YAY ROB THOMAS!! His replies were so smart and clear, how the fuck could anyone argue with them? Woo! \o/

I imagine. Bikinis and swimsuits are stretch and spandex and bras and panties are cotton, silk and lace. One is meant to hold up when wet, one's fairly see-through most of the time even before you get it wet. It's kind of like, why can you go out in public in a slip dress but not in a slip?

And the thing is, you're right. There's not much of a difference. Hell, sometimes there's more to a bra and panties set than there is to a string bikini. It's all just ridiculous.

Then again, I mostly rag on Lindsay's lack of pants because she's been wearing nearly-sheer leggings for so long now, "WEAR PANTS!" is a reflex, and then she goes out in that. Heh. :)
