Silly Wickedjulia! He was WHITE, probably.

You can watch it happen! The food just kind of explodes off the surface of the pan. It's cool to watch.

I have a somewhat smaller, but older, blackhead in one of my armpits. I have squeezed it any number of times. Some goop comes out; the motherlode remains. Now I feel less like a freak. THANKS JEZEBEL!

My go-to remedy for really badly baked-on food on a stainless steel or enamel pan is: fill with hot tap water, then pour in a tablespoonful or two of dishwasher detergent, like Cascade, Electrasol, etc.

I love my external battery packs from HyperShop.

Aww, I like McCarver. He's knowledgeable and he has a great speaking voice, and he has some good stories. And HE JUST FUCKING LOVES BASEBALL.

Wait, gay people cause abortions? I'm thinking there's something my mother didn't explain to me.

Cheap plastic spoons are often not machined properly and have tiny burrs around the edges.

I think my mom made that outfit for me!
