When I was in high school, the myth was a little more elaborate: eating green M&Ms on Fridays meant the eater was horny. Still the association between the green ones and sex. No idea why.

Women have had the final say in buying decisions since about the 1920s. We’ve been buying things for quite awhile.

Miranda is definitely Carrie’s best friend.

Well, phooey! I enjoyed this episode, maybe because a glass or two of rosé was involved. Still, we’re a long way from the magic of the first season. 

I remember seeing ads for this in the newspaper when I was about 8 or 9. I thought it was porn, too, or as I would have said then, “a sex movie.” I barely had any idea what that meant, but I figured if you could see part of her boobs (a word I had recently learned), it must be a sex movie. I was intrigued, but I knew…

It’s not a good romance unless the heroine bones many times, with several hot dudes, before shacking up or marrying. 

FFS, the paper covers on hardcover books (and some paperbacks) are called “jackets,” not “sleeves.” Sleeves are what vinyl records come in. 

A restaurateur is somene who owns a restaurant, not someone who patronizes a restaurant. (Although of course restaurateurs do eat in restaurants.)

I don’t think he was deflecting so much as using the question as an excuse to brag about himself. And doing so reveealed his narcissism and lack of engagement with the actual converstation, and oh, yeah, that he was part of an insurrection. What a jerk.

But even if you answered the question that way, it still shows engagement with the actual question. I’d probably keep talking to you. In fact, one time I had to answer a question to get into a Facebook groupfor people from my hometown. It was “What’s your favoiite hot dog place?” Well, I don’t have one, but the…

Just popping in many weeks later to say that that sidecar Jellybean rides away in with FP is everything! Doesn’t FP have a truck that would be more practical for the road trip? I don’t care!

Toledo is two and a half states away from Iowa, nearly a seven-hour drive according to Google maps. Close? I dunno, I guess that’s a bit subjective.

Ah, geez! Babies are supposed to be fat. 

I’m on the iceberg’s side here. They were minding their own business, floating around, and the ship crashed into them due to the crew’s negligence. And the Titanic’s design was a bit problematic. So... #teamiceberg

The house I grew up in (built in 1918) had a drainboard on one side of the sink. The kitchen had obviously been remodeled in the 60s, but they kept the drainboard (or one of them, anyway). The cabinet under the sink didn’t match the other cabinets, in the kitchen, so I think that fixture predated the remodeling by 10…

It’s my experience that you can easily get the last little bit out of a jar by using a rubber or silicone spatula. It’s well nigh impossible to use the same trick with bottles, though. I’ll try that mayo trick next time I have an almost empty squeeze bottle of mayo. 

I think the peanut sauce would be better with natural PB.

They have at least two restaurants. Chad takes Veronica out to a “fancy Italian” one earlier in the season. :D

Well, you’ve got me deliciously beat. The tacos and the bread look yummy! No special cooking, but I’m working on the crocheted Bernie Sanders meme doll. (Amigurumi for you crocheters.) I’ll post a picture of it when it’s done.

So...Jug’s literary groupie/blackmailer’s novel is called “The Rules of Distraction,” an obvious reference to Bret Easton Ellis’ second novel, “The Rules of Attraction.” Hmmm... Ellis and Jay McInerny were supposed to be the Fitzgeralds of the the 80s.
