Ursula wins it all!

Thank you! I was pretty proud of my sweet skills.

I had to try five different pictures before I found one that registered for my pig, and yet I, in Ursula makeup for Halloween, was immediately deemed a pug. I think I’m offended?

That one’s easy. He'll just fire them all, because he can business good.

Toddler libel! I happen to nanny for a couple of toddlers whose parents are lawyers. You can bet you’ll be hearing from them.

I wonder if his thong sticks out above his shorts. Of course, he would have to take off his jacket to reveal the answer to that mystery, and that would be way too distracting for the serious seriousing that goes on in Kansas. I mean, can you imagine if his elbows were visible? We'd never get anything done.

No tie? INAPPROPRIATE. Clearly he's a liberal. For shame.

Love me some Countess! #sorrynotsorry

Shit. I did it. You're the worst and I love it.

I will, but only because I think I stumbled on the worst one right out of the gate (which keeps autocorrecting to “hate.” Apropos). Challenge accepted!

Oh my god. That last UPROXX link is a dirty, rotten trick.

Literally cackled. I'm very happy no one was around to see it happen. Thank you!

I remember the moment I realized I loved him. It was when they did a close-up shot of his face, and his ear literally flapped in the breeze. I died. I won't say he was my favorite (because Tennant sorry), but I just adored him and he definitely should have had more than one season!

Sounds yum! I only heard of a dry brine for the first time this year, but I was so enthralled with the idea of a beer brine (!!) that I didn't try it. I was worried about my turkey, too; my BIL put a ham in the oven with it for two hours, so it took twice as long as usual to cook. I didn't even want to carve it, so I

This! Yes. I always brine my bird (I did a brown ale brine from the Beeroness and let it soak for two days. Amazing.), and this year I pulled it out of the brine and let it sit, uncovered, in the fridge for about 12 hours to dry out so the skin would get crispy. I then slathered the whole thing down (over and under

You're my hero. Thank you for this compilation of pure magic.

I worked at a KinderCare in Minnesota for a few years. At the end of each year, we put out a tuition statement to each family for tax purposes. One family in particular had one infant, one toddler, and one four-year-old. Their statement said they’d paid nearly $40k that year, and the infant didn’t even start attending

I mean sure, except that he flat out said at one point, “I’m not really giving my all. I’ve been giving maybe...forty percent.” And he said something to the same effect more than once. I agree the new format of the show has increased the pressure to a degree that absolutely takes away from the creativity, but I just

Really? No snark—that’s just not at all how I saw it. Swapnil was being a lazy shit the whole time he was there—he even admitted as much a couple of times. He was clearly very talented, but for whatever reason was trying to “play it safe” rather than show off the full extent of his skills. I frankly found it
