Today we gave you some invaluable advice on what to do when you've fallen down. Really timeless stuff, people! As hoped, the comments became a forum for people to share embarrassing accounts of falling down. These are their stories.

Today we laughed at roving bands of mean old people terrorizing retirement homes. Ohh, aren't mean elderly folks just so funny? Well, not that funny, said one commenter who brought us all down a bit.

A broken chairlift at Maine's Sugarloaf Mountain injured at least three skiers and hundreds were being evacuated off of the chairlift after being stuck in the freezing cold. Good thing a CNN employee is on the lift to report back!

Today we checked out the swanky new stucco digs — fresh out of the foreclosure mill — that college-bound Bristol Palin bought in Maricopa, Arizona. Our Arizona real estate experts then weighed in: Is Maricopa a "good" place to settle?

We asked for your stories about receiving horrible gifts for Christmas, and they turned out to be even worse (or is that better?) than we ever expected. Here are some of our favorites, and the well-deserved winner.

Hello folks! It is Christmas Eve and my Christmas gift to myself is that I'm not going to write a recap of last night's show. But here is a space at least to talk amongst yourselves about what happened.

Between the travel, bad weather, and family functions, Christmas can be perilous. But nothing is more fraught than the act of gift giving. We know you people have gotten some awful gifts, and we want to hear about it.

Today we looked at the depressing paid-celebrity guest list of The Party King of Scottsdale's Christmas party. Appearance fees galore! Aren't those things bad for a person's rep? Not always, says one commenter. But about whom?

Today we looked at, with the help of our friends at TPM, South Carolina's lovely Secession Ball, a thing that is not at all racist. Just ask, Thomas Hiter, a vocal supporter. Yes, Hiter. This tickled one cmmenter.

Today we heard a story about Prince William pulling the whole "Do you know who I am??" famous person move. This reminded one commenter of an old, satisfying story about the Burton Batman himself, Michael Keaton.

Today we looked at a trend of journalists taking money for asking questions, a sorry indication of the sorry state of journalism. This prompted one embittered journalist to rail against the state of modern media.

Doing some last minute decorating before the in-laws come and see the place? Well, we're giving away a lovely print to put up on your walls, and all you have to do to win it is enter a caption contest.

Today we looked at a young lady who deliberately wears fashion items she believes men find repellent. Many people assessed the validity of her claim, back and forth, back and forth, while one poor commenter was very confused.

Today we heard about a filthy college monk orgy. Outrage! Titillation! And, most surprisingly, religious fervor. Like that displayed by this commenter.

Today we talked about how to keep Walmart out of New York. People love to talk about Walmart! And fight about Walmart, too, like this warring pair right here.
