I’m gonna do this! I’m trying to get off the sweetened tommy sauce you get in jars, but I’m not about to become one of those people who have a pot of sauce on the stove all day before dinner. (Although I may use dried minced onion instead of a real one to be removed, ‘cause I’m fancy/lazy and like onion left in.)

Yeah, he hasn’t been pretty in front of my face for ever, it seems. When’s he gonna fix that?

I don’t doubt there are men that approve of the idea. But when asked ‘would you take such a pill’ the overall answer is Nope! Especially if the side effects are the least bit inconvenient. So what pharma company is going to bet on hordes of MRAs to fill their coffers?

Every feasibility study I’ve seen says that men are NOT INTERESTED in such a pill. Because something something manhood.

There was a civ-e prof at my school who famously warned students in his class about his grading philosophy thusly: Bridge falls down, no partial credit.

Aaaand now your ‘mystic crystal’ has woven itself into a 5th Dimension earworm. Goddammit. I hope you’re satisfied!

They did, according to other accounts I read. The dude was unable to shoot through another book not held up against a body part, thereby convincing her to shoot the second book.

Rachel Maddow landed Ike for only $1500.

When I was last in London, I was chatting up the host of the B&B. He told me about his upcoming plans to bring his fam to the states. But he complained: “I don’t think America is very child-friendly!” I demurred, saying that rugrats seem (to me) to be everywhere you go. “No! NO! Yeh cahn’t bring yer kids inna the pub…

It’s not like they’ll be allowed to keep all these things when they get shown the door (that Zinke resents so much), so it must be that they like the power of wasting other people’s money.

Agreed. Although I took a single lesson in stick in the US before I had to drive my Irish rental, it wasn’t enough to disorient me when I was actually doing the left-shift thing. At least the pedals are the same!

The series she did with Eddie Izzard and Minnie Driver, The Riches, was the first time I noticed her as more than a standard tertiary character. She got to play the fuck out of a trope Nosy Neighbor role. So that when I saw she was going to be the Big Bad on Justified S2, I hyped her to all my friends. They were…

I continue to be disappointed with the smallness of the portrayal of Roosevelt. He was always blustery. Not for nothing did his daughter say of him ‘he wanted to be the bride at every wedding and the corpse at every funeral.’ If he doesn’t get to utter a hearty “Bully!” by the show’s end, I’ll be mad.

Every time I take prednisone, I feel like I could smash through walls, Kool-Aid Man style. At least for the first day, anyhow. So to my mind, it’s a PED —for the first day, anyhow. I am told, however, that not everybody’s experience with the ‘sone matches mine.

Pretty sure the average you cite contains administrators’ salaries, and the the average chalk-slinger gets significantly less....

I agree it wouldn’t impact him politically, but his personal humiliation, knowing that the whole world has watched it and is laughing at him? I’m holding on to that hope with all I am.

I was just talking about John Sayles the other day (it was Ring Lardner’s birthday*, and JS played him in Eight Men Out and looks like him to boot), so it was as if the universe was giving me a present, putting his name in the credits. I love John Sayles.

Wait, have I been deleting without reading hundreds of emails from Nigerian Prince David Oyelowo?!? Crap.

IME it means ‘I wanna smoke pot legally, but fuck the poors.’

It’s so upsetting I can hardly briethe
