Knife (and possibly other ) lust! love Damascus steel.

I read somewhere that GWTW was really the first post-apocalyptic survival film, and re-watching it, that scene, and the burning of Atlanta are really templates for everything from The Stand to The Walking Dead. Especially TWD— while zombies and northerners may be the initial threat, it becomes clear that most danger…

Yep. Medical preps like Osmoprep use a concentrated salt solution to induce tidal-wave level diarrhea. It isn't recommended if you have heart or blood-pressure issues, because, duh, you're poising yourself with salt in order to induce emergency evacuation. I usually lose about 7lbs overnight on a colonoscopy prep.…

10th Doctor David Tennant named his kids Olive and Wilf, thus nerderizing a future generation of Time Lords.

Were I casting for today, I'd probably pick Timothy Olyphant for Roland. He's probably the closest thing to Eastwood we have now. I'd also give my firstborn for Walton Goggins as Walter. Aaron Paul could play Eddie in his sleep.

I know. When I was little we called this sort of event "Thanksgiving," because that was the day we slaughtered hogs and had really fresh ham for dinner. And sausage for breakfast the next morning. Other times we called it "Sunday at Grandma's."

Stumpies and rumpies (that's what short-tailed and tailless are called) sometimes also have congenital quirks and sensitivities with their anuses, rectums and colons. At worst, this can lead to a prolapse. But they all do have a tendency to poop outside the box because it's less uncomfortable.

Carl Grimes. Hat, gun, gore-spattered ringer tee, and 128 ounce can of chocolate pudding.

Only if it's set in the same universe as Mad Men. Because Don Draper would be all over that hott supernatural action. And I can totally see Roger hanging with Endora.

only in proper outhouses, and then with great difficulty. I guess my toilet training took entirely too well. I hate camping.

I have never peed in the shower, and will never pee in the shower unless my bladder control suffers serious deterioration. I can only pee in a toilet, and urine tests are a non starter for me. I've never understood how other people can casually whizz all over; my bladder locks up if I even know there's a line waiting…

I was there too, and then I realized, I like Faith better than the Buffster. Definitely better with one souled vamp— and Angel really got to work the edges of it— lawyers in the basement, Wesley, all that.

Wow, I eat first breakfast AND second breakfast, almost always at home. I get up at 4:45 to get to the gym at 5:45, and usually scarf a yogurt and coffee before workout, then come home, have an egg/bacon tomato and toast before work, with more coffee. If I don't I will eat my own arm by 10am or so.

I've known I didn't want kids from the time I was 6 or so— that feeling has never wavered. What HAS changed, now that I've hit the big 40, is my need to be polite to impolite questions about it. "Nope. Never thought it was a good idea. I don't like them all that much, truthfully. I have cats."

Timothy Olyphant for Stu Redman! Roland of Gilead! Next True Detective! Guy who finally catches Hannibal with Will Graham! (Will starts talking, Olyphant just shoots Hannibal in the leg.) Laconic captain of the vessel in the next Alien movie, who actually decides to nuke the site from orbit!

Gillian Anderson has entered her second phase of hot— stone-cold glacial badass hot. Dornan manages to be both incredibly magnetic and deeply creepifying (and would probably be the only reason to get me to watch 50Shades, if they let him unleash that creepy.)

I was deeply skeptical, especially after the post-Silence movies. But not 5 minutes into the pilot, with its dreamy, beautiful nightmare of a crime reconstruction, I was sold. Then I marathoned the first season and I was converted. Fuller's take manages to expand the universe and be faithful to the darkness, all the…

Yep. There's a big difference between Mercer and McDowell, to the point where I don't even have to ask if you're from "down the county." Don't even get me started on how we make our pepperoni cheese rolls versus north of I-77.

WV/Va southernmost border here. We are definitely an accent unto ourselves in the mountains, although mine is considered more southern than the ones an hour west of me in hard coal country (co'contry). I also get more southern when I spend time with friends in NC or Georgia. The only time I've heard the accent…

"It eats you, starting with your bottom."
