I told someone who wanted me to go on one of these that just because you’re good at something doesn’t mean you should do it on TV. He said I was defying the American way.

Right now, none of them. I’ve got arthritic feet and carpal tunnel and even with ankle and wrist braces, I’m just not up to standing and cooking all day like I used to be. This is the first time I’ve admitted that publicly and I hate it.

I’ve thought of trying out for Nailed It, but I’d be a ringer and it seems cruel. I bake very well, but I’m not much concerned with appearance.

I’m wearing one right now. I call it my hot flash hair clip. Ever since one of my sisters recommended them for that use, I keep them around. 

I’m going to go with, Andrea Romano is a genius, on that one.

Disappointed we didn’t get a Gideon, what’s the most meta moment? this week, because as soon as he said it, Nate’s “Why do we ever take those off?” was it for me.

The Behrad thing bugged me until I remember he went to visit his parents. As I recall, he was going to finally tell them the truth about his life.

There’s a place in Detroit that used to be a club that had terrible vibes. I don’t really believe in ghosts, so I wouldn’t say it was haunted. But everyone who went in there got irrationally angry, including me. There were a lot of accidents, too. One time my best friend tripped on stage and whacked his head really…

Yes, and all the ones I know are also furries. Another venn diagram that’s basically a circle.

Checked further because I was bored. In the Illinois Deaths before 1916 records on MyHeritage, Florence J. Minier is listed dying September 12, 1907 in Chicago. You know, you really should call a librarian next time you want to know something like that. The two searches together took me less than five minutes.

Sometimes I feel like an absolute dinosaur because I believe words have meaning. I try not to be uptight and too prescriptivist, but then I keep wanting it to end somewhere so words have meanings.

Robert Minier is listed in the 1900 census on Rush Street in Chicago with a daughter, Florence, aged 2. Florence is not listed in his entry for the 1910 census, while her elder sister still is. I could save the images from Ancestry, but I don’t think I’m allowed to post them here.

One thing no one mentioned. All the contestants on the Christmas cookie show gush about how much they love her, and it’s obvious they’ve been coached to say it, or believe it’s how to get on the show. It’s not unique to that show, but it makes me wonder how much of an egotist she has to be to require it.

He only hosts the first two seasons. Then they have the team from Baroness Von Sketch Show. Last season they had two people I had never heard of before, Ann Pornell and Alan Shane Lewis. I don’t know what they are known for, but they were quite good hosts.

Those would be most of the reasons.

Having seen how Noel Fielding behaves in a pub quiz, I would dearly love to see footage of it. 

Glad I’m not the only one, but I do have some reasons.

That’s why my favorite one is when they lampshade it. I love Patrick Warburton’s delivery of, “That’s just disturbing.”

Someday I will actually get around to making t-shirts with my personal motto.

I am not a fan of the lacy edges, even though I grew up with them. So thank you for saying that.
