Carneval and Johnson (2015) came up with this great binomial for a fossil cusk eel:

When Ichthyology isn't paying the bills, I make extra income as a professional musician. For the past 15 years or so, I have had the pleasure of performing behind Don Rickles once a year. He used to personally insult every member of the band, but he stopped doing that a couple of years ago; he just ran out of energy

Unless its been said already, you MUST try Penzy's double-strength vanilla! It is a necessity for any kind of cookie. I usually double the recommended amount!

My hand first fell on the Trinidad seasoning, but when I saw the original typewritten label on the Florida pepper, I had to go with it!

As a Stephen King fan, and a big fan of 'It' in particular, I have read all the commentary about this now infamous scene, and I have thought it over a lot. It is still kinda creepy to me (these are 5th graders, after all!), but I think I understand what King was trying to do

No, this is without a doubt the perviest; no wonder it was never released!

Noel, I am disappointed!

Brock Fucking Samson

Yeah, I saw her a number of years ago when she was on tour with the New York Rock and Soul Review. Despite having Steely Dan, solo Donald Fagen, Michael McDonald, Boz Scaggs, and Charles Brown on the bill, she brought the place down with 'Poetry Man.' It was a great song choice at just the right time; it provided
