Good to see Kristin Chenoweth staying busy. I hear next week she'll be in another PSA urging people to end discrimination of her and other survivors from the Island of Dr. Moreau.

Of course Memphis needs the NBA back. Where else in Tennessee are you going to be able to find a large crowd, completely decked out in white, get excitable over some silly little flames?

I like to think Dan would be honored- much like him, I don't see this trend drying out soon.

I don't blame the second guy for chickening out. That first hit was hard, but he could have been knockwurst.

Lord no, not a vet. I could never do that job- I'm way too attached to pets. Someone would come in with a three-legged, blind and cancerous dog and tell me to put it down (probably the right call there) and I'd sock them in the mouth for being a pussy. I've always tried to motivate myself to work at the animal…

YOU'D BETTER STILL SEND ME AWKWARD MESSAGES ABOUT FRINGE EVERY FRIDAY. THESE PEOPLE DON'T UNDERSTAND US. ANNA TORV THINKS COMMENTING ON DEADSPIN IS SOOOOO SEXI. DON'T LET HER DOWN!

Yeah, my grandmother has a similar recipe. It's pretty much the perfect spread for leftover sandwiches

Ah- pets can definitely make that tough/impossible. As much as you talk about the critters, you ever consider making that a career option too?

You should try to convince Mr. Yuni and go teach abroad. It's way different. A friend of mine was a teacher who was having a similar existential crisis and could not be happier. Met his fiancée overseas too.

Everyone knows that sometimes, the cheap shit is just better. Like Mac and Cheese- my mom used to make the most gourmet creations ever and still I'd always whine that I wanted the Kraft shit in the blue box.

Damn you Cinemax; I was all set to get a decent night's sleep and you go and air Gladiator. Just not fair, really.

I feel you buddy- holidays can be tough to miss. Spent a 4th of July eating Chinese food in Addis Ababa too. I'll have a good strong hot cider or two for you.

This is so insanely late, but I did really enjoy this.

Ease into the flavor- If you like coffee, the egg nog lattes that should be showing up at Starbucks in a couple of weeks are excellent.

My roommate and I were discussing holiday parties the other day. I confessed that during the holidays, I typically add on about 5 lbs. from holiday drinking alone. Egg Nog is my real weakness, though

I eat half the can of French's Fried Onions before they can ever make it to the top of the casserole.
