This happened to my mother due to her being an athlete during her teenage years, which I'm told can result in not stunting, but holding off puberty and endocrine activity for a few years (see Olympic gymnasts. The older ones, not the 12-year-old ones).
Resultingly, she didn't have me until she was 42, and I seem to be fine and not Downs syndromey at all. But then it gets more confusing because surely developing later would not stop your ovaries from ageing, which is the problem in the first place.
I have no idea why my mother told me this.

The risks associated with women having children late in life, is not related to when they became sexually mature, but to her age. Eggs are formed in a girl's ovaries before she is even born, and no more are made in the course of her life. Certain genetic defects, such as that which causes Downs' Syndrome, are caused by DNA degradation, which occurs in all cells in our bodies. The difference with egg cells is that they are made only once and cannot be repaired - other cells in our bodies die and are replenished.

But then I suppose this is the sort of thing Ray would do, on account of him having the most base of audio tastes. Mocking better things is how he covers up this horrific lapse in his otherwise more than adequate tastes.

"Katherine, heading for her senior year in high school, finds herself strongly attracted to Michael, a friend's friend, after a party. As their relationship unfolds, the issue of sex comes up early on, more as an emotional and health issue than as a moral one. Both of them are aware that physical intimacy is both common and complicating. Michael has been sexually active, Katherine hasn't. Their relationship progresses slowly; they are accompanied on various meetings by her friend, Erica, a grounded, practical wit who has known Katherine all her life and believes that sex is a physical thing not a romantic thing, and Michael's friend, Artie, who, with Erica's help, explores and acknowledges some uncertainty about his own sexual orientation.
When they do, by mutual consent, have sex in Michael's sister's apartment, they are sure it seals a love that will be "forever." However, separated for the summer by work that takes them to two different states, Katherine finds herself aware of the limitations of the relationship and ultimately attracted to a tennis instructor, older, more experienced, and interesting in new ways. She takes responsibility for breaking the news to Michael when he comes on a surprise visit, the summer is over, and Kath recognizes the loss as a stage in movement towards a more complex, probably more satisfying relationships in the future."

Jamiroquai's mother looked at Jamiroquai and said, "I'm going to the store to pick up some things. Do you need anything while I'm gone?"
Jamiroquai wrinkled her face and looked down at her feet. A tear welled up in her eye. "Yes..." she stammered,"A box of... a box of... Valu-Douche."
Jamiroquai cried.

Ray writing a book is always the right thing to do. Even when it's not, then it especially is.

Although perhaps not totally topical, I'd like to say that Nice Pete's blog about Rachel Ray today was stupendous, and definitely one of the funniest things I've seen Onstad write.

But that implies that Carrot Top has skills but he is simply too lazy to employ them . . . .? Surely you did not intend to imply that . . . .?

The new year is sort of getting off on the wrong foot here, all a week off followed by another day off followed by a late strip right off.
I mean I know free content and all I'm just saying damn, shit must be hopping in the Onstad household lately.

Ray was offered the choice of "Top Hat and Cane," "Curled Ivy Leaf," "Mallards in Flight," or "Lighthouse to the World".
Hardly a choice, really.

I could make a comment about dracula waiting for her to bleed, but that wouldn't be tasteful. Shit, I think I just made that comment.

You are intensely familiar with the specifics of Judy Blume's punctuation. I like this about you.

Blume formed her comma culling cult sometime in the early 1960s. She was young, fresh out of NYU, and ready to educate. Everything was great. Then, a sidewalk ruined her. Only a broken toe, only a broken toe, but as the doctor set the bone, Blume set her mind. That upraised block on the walk, why, commas were no better than it. No, there were worse. They were stubbing the minds of the citizens of earth.

not since judy blume!
Jamiroquai and Judy Blume. Together at last.
I think it's worth pointing out that that paragraph gramatically says that Ray hasn't successfully "described that awkward phase in a band's life" since he did it about Judy Blume.
Which means there have been other, failed attempts.
I need to see these.

You mean like how Stephen King was Richard Bachman at one point? Or like how cheese was milk at some point?
put a different way, but meaning the same thing, the sentance says "ray smuckles has not succeded in describing that akward phase in a band's life when it becomes a woman, since Judy Blume."
probably not intentional on Onstead's part, but hillarious!
Onstad doesn't seem the type to unintentionally make a joke like that.
Well, I don't know about Judy Blume, but I know for a fact he's had some thoughts on the works of Beverly Cleary .
You're a genious! I never would have spotted that and it makes the whole thing WAY funnier. Thank you.
