Yeah, that one was purely on mouth feel. Not sure how I'd work it into conversation. But speaking of Hannibal- do you watch? It's winding up on all sorts of Best Of year end lists but is not On Demand so have yet to check it out myself....

Amen. Well-said. I am stealing "mutt-whore," BTW. :)

But did you know? Apparently the English language has given up entirely. Literally now means literally AND its opposite, figuratively... according to Merriam Webster. I weep.

I know I will come across as a killjoy because I can appreciate this article is hyperbole... but how about we don't "purge" the English language of any words, or "ban" any phrases? The English language is so awesome in its continual evolution, in its multitudes of words, in its insanely elegant grammar rules. How…

Love this. I need to dig out my copy of "The Happiness Project" because I read it three years ago and distilled it down to 4 essential happiness-makers in my life and stuck to them for a good year... This year I just need to resume:

Totally co-signed. I LOVE sexting with the right guy. Almost as good as sexy IM'ing (we need a verb for that). I do much better work in the printed word than on the phone....

This made me laugh out loud so hard. Thanks.

The super fine-tip Sharpie is a PERFECT pen (and yeah, handwriting just looks cool as shit written in one of those).

I really miss the Burger King ham and cheese sandwich. When I was a kid (the 80s), it was the only fast food I'd eat.

Hate watch it. It's utterly horrible, and you will find someone ready to engage you in debate. I am right now fighting with my best friend in the world over this movie and we disagree on literally nothing else in life (other than minorly on the death penalty). If you go in already knowing about the fact (as Lindy…

I LOVE YOU ACTUALLY, LINDY. I have fucking loathed this sexist piece of crap movie since day 1, and am so sick of fighting with good friends about it. With this wonderful article to simply copy/paste the link of, WE WILL HAVE WON. <micdrop>

I did not root for any other team in 2012, and I gleefully hate watched the standings and took pleasure in the Sox failure because it was vindication of BV's awfulness. Had they actually won and he stuck around, I would have swallowed hard, choked down the bile and thrown myself back in to loving the team while still…

I think I should have said that I did actively wish for them to lose horrifically and often because I saw a putrid last place finish as the only way Bobby Valentine would get fired. So from that standpoint I think I was a fantanker. Again, regret nothing. :)

Gotta respectfully disagree about fantanking when you actually put your money where your mouth is, and for a good reason (not related to your team simply sucking). When the Red Sox (and yeah, I know I am about to get a ration of shit for being a "fantanking" Red Sox fan, sigh) hired Bobby Valentine, I immediately…

Agreed completely. This is so much more important. But articles like this one (and even one with the reasonably feminism-oriented topic of slut shaming) are becoming fewer and farther between, sacrificed to the clickbait of squeeing cats, painting dogs, fashion pics and endless celeb gossip. I mean, two days ago all…

Man, where was this article during the TEN YEARS I made myself believe that the bi-polar libertarian Yankees fan was the love of my life because he challenged me?

I am most happy that the unrelenting erection these awards shows have for Modern Family (which has become one-note, stale and unfunny IM(notso)HO) seems to be finally subsiding. Perhaps they grew concerned after the 4th year and saw their doctors?

The Good Wife is phenomenal TV. You really should be watching. It is in a whole different class than Downton, which I enjoy but which is basically a classy soap.

Moonchild!

I think Robert Greenblatt is going to be sorely disappointed. I can't really think of another musical that was a cultural touchstone in the same way as TSOM that would have 18 million people tuning in. I mean, MAYBE the Wizard of Oz, but I don't think they could do that set-wise. What else could approach? Annie? My…
