I just caught this episode (in rerun, obviously, but I'm also in the UK where this season didn't start airing that long ago) and the musical number reminded me of "At the Ballet" from A Chorus Line. That may not be what Trey & Matt intended—and A Chorus Line is one of only a handful of musicals with which I'm…

Hahahahahaha!!!

It really is. It's never happened to me, luckily—I learned about it because I happened across a discussion of it, not from experience—but the thought of having part of my brain literally shut down is terrifying.

Ha, doesn't surprise me.

I added egg to my dip last time I made fried chicken, but didn't really notice a big difference. I'll have to try it again and see what happens then.

Awesome.

I fry chicken in oil that is at least 10% lard. Food fries best in oil that's already been used—it's something to do with water displacement, you can look it up on Serious Eats or other food sites for the info—so I strain the oil after cooking and store it in the freezer to use again next time and just keep topping it…

Sigh, I'm allergic to capsicums. I can take a little paprika—like, I can eat KFC, or something with a whisper of it, but any more than that and I get really unpleasantly ill. So I don't cook anything with paprika.

Sweet lovely death, they are waiting for your breath…and then we'll get one fried breast.

I have to say, I kind of thought that, too. Like, if nothing else, isn't it kind of fun to think of the Colonel's secret recipe as a secret (I realize I might be the only weirdo who feels that way)? Why do that? It's not like taking advantage of an old man's innocent pleasure in showing you his family scrapbook is…

It shocked me to learn recently that a person can be blackout drunk without appearing or seeming to be particularly intoxicated at all, and that people in that person's company could have absolutely no idea that their friend wasn't capable of making any decisions and would not remember anything the following day.

Thank you!! I only recently realized that someone can be blackout drunk without seeming even particularly intoxicated, and it's terrifying to realize—without making any kind of comment or statement on Parker—how easily problems could arise.

Very few things have ever made me sicker than hearing Whoopi Goldberg describe the drugging and sodomizing of a thirteen-year-old girl as "not rape rape."

Actually, the state of CA would *love* to have him back, which is why we keep trying to catch and extradite him. He's totally allowed to return to Hollywood. He's just going to have to face the consequences of his crime when he does, and he refuses to do that.

How is that?

It is meditative for me. I rarely do puzzles, but I love them. There's a sort of slow, contemplative fun in trying different pieces to fit, and satisfaction in finding the correct piece, a sort of little "Ah-ha! Go me!" that's very pleasant. :-)

Hmm…I never thought of that, but yeah, you're right. It did at least try. And of course, you're definitely right that the original is as close to perfection as one is likely to get. :-)

Well, that's disappointing.

Deadshot, not Deadpool.

Psst. Margot Robbie is really not that great an actress. She's okay; she doesn't routinely embarrass herself. But she's never stunned me with her talent, sorry, and the fact that the writer of this article is clearly a huge fan and seems to think she's like the female Olivier doesn't change that or mean that "Margot…
