I somehow haven't read her works outside the Moomins series. It was really nice to discover the series as a lonely little nomad of a kid, though. I must have gotten to them after exhausting the rest of the library's juvenile section. Who wouldn't want a friend like Snufkin? I ended up with a tattoo of him and…

Haha yah, I guess I thought I was preaching the troll gospel to the New World. I never convinced anyone to read the Moomin books, though. That would have been cooler than convincing people to amass plastic figurines.

I am highly surprised that the Blistex Stick beat out the Blistex Ointment, I will never use another lip product as long as live. If Blistex goes out of business my lips are going right to cracked, dry, hell.

Tractor Supply sells some called Chicken Poop. It works well for my fiancee (I never get chapped lips but she does unless she applies balm multiple times per day). Best ingredients of anything we have ever found.

Burt's Bees is very good, but it takes a backseat to this beauty:

The cringe-worthy part of the movie is the meta-level rather than what is shown imho. People requiring complete surrender in a relationship while themselves unwilling to even yield one millimeter of their own are very hard to bear already. Add to that the complete annihilation of individuality that usually is implied…

If you can stomach it, "Philosophy of a knife" is ostensibly about unit 731. Its...well, its not for everyone.

It's Finnish! They're saying very predictable things - 'mennä mennä mennä' = 'go go go'.

Actually, Slavic is a subgroup of Indo-European.

You are right, the language is Finnish. Additionally, YLE is the Finnish public broadcasting company.

He knows you can't eat a trophy.

I've had an awful day and this just made me laugh so hard I cried.

Frankly, the Golden is way smarter than the rest of them. There are a number of huge sausages just lying there, and no little treat or bit of play with one's owner is ever going to make up for just running past them.

So when does Abba get their own dedicated series? I think Agnetha, Benny, Björn, and Anni-Frid each deserve their own stamp. Today is ABBA now!

I couldn't understand how anybody could be neutral about this. This woman is out of control.

I frequent a number of writing forums and this story along with the Grisham one has revealed a great deal about some of the writers there. If nothing else it has provided me with a list of writers whose books I will definitely not be buying.

I can't believe people are defending her actions. I felt like i was on crazy pills when I read that part.

Also, I wish more people were pointing out that Hale's article about Blythe is a direct act of aggression against her. It is nothing more than an attempt to scare her, harm her further, violate her boundaries more, and worm deeper into her brain. It's disgusting that Kathleen Hale is being allowed to essentially…
