@philoclea: Just playing Devils Advocate here.

@Peppermint: I'm with you, Peppermint. This kind of protest-y thinking is a slippery slope.

@Elizabth_Bennet: The lead actor was apparently *thisclose* to being cast as Edward Cullen. As in, would have been cast had Patz not happened along.

@SunburnedCounsel: I think she meant "Wesley Snipes" aka the character Michael Sheen played on 30 Rock.

@Ri_L is Team Squidward: Trust me, we are just two of many! Your secret is safe with me! :)

@Ri_L is Team Squidward: I worked on this book too (in a different capacity)! Hmmm... *looks around office with shifty eyes*

@cloverchain: Thank you! I am halfway through the North & South miniseries right now. Loooove.

For me, it's not Disney, it's those Princess Di paper dolls my mother gave me sometime in the early 80s. (I was 5-6, and I played with them all the time! The wedding dress...swoon!) She didn't care a bit about Diana; to this day, I have no clue why she gave me those.

@Fridge Hussy: Pumpkin Masala. That is all: And don't forget J. Lo's giant pink diamond from the Bennifer days!

@soofthemoment: I get mail addressed to "Mrs. MyFirstName MyLastName" sometimes— and I'm single!

@divinelioness: We got teeth protectents in school where I grew up. (they called it swish-swash — it was liquid fluoride and it tasted disgusting) But that was because the city water system was an aquifer — therefore not fluoridated.

@MorboKat: Thanks!

@MorboKat: What about antique costume jewelry? I have some gorgeous pieces from my grandmother from the 50s-60s that I'd love to have restored some day. Some need stones replaced, some just need a good (careful) cleaning. Do I need to go to a specialty jeweler, or could a regular jeweler work on them?

@llhart: I seem to remember this regulation being enacted after it came out that soup companies were putting marbles in the bottoms of bowls in photoshoots so that it looked like there were more chunks in the soup that there would ever actually be.

@AsherR: Yup, there's a place here in NYC like that too. Smushed, flat burger with sauce soaked into the bun, it falls apart while you're eating it, but it is so so delicious.

@Nancy Sin: Seeing the thumbnails only, I was sure image 9 was Katy.

@gabicopter: Oh my god, me too! I was 10 feet from the stage when they played Roseland in NYC (must have been '03 or '04), and it remains the best concert I've ever seen.

@PhillyLass: Aaaand, that is going on my Facebook status.

@cool_as_KimDeal: Yeah, because we all know Dolphins are just gay sharks.

Love the Cathy costume. My friend was Punky Brewster this year and a drunk guy kept coming over and asking her if she was supposed to be Cathy. Um, what!?
