The writers can't even keep characters consistent from one episode to the next and now you're wanting them to hew to a timeline?

He was giving Andrea's gun back to her.

She certainly could have gotten that across without essentially saying, "Aw c'mon.  He's not a bad guy.  Woodbury is nice.  You guys should totally come over."

It could be that show doesn't do a particularly good job of stressing how awful everyday life is for people on the run without a safe place.  There aren't many acknowledgements of how nice the people of Woodbury have it.  Or what a sanctuary the prison represents.  The Road was depressing as fuck.  But the best parts…

@avclub-17a9e577ab7b749bfb086d5ce17c87d9:disqus they had three inmates.  And frankly, an episode or two ago they started doing something that they should have done immediately when they took the prison.  Glen and Carl started drawing, get this, a map of the prison on the floor.  It was a throw away, but it's an…

Well .. then there wouldn't be much reason for Andrea to side with the Philip.  Besides the fact that he's a powerful swinging dick.

Sheldon is awesome.  I'm really ticked that I was in Lahaina for 2-3 days a few years back and didn't find his restaurant.

I hate that character.  Seriously.  Who reacts like that when you're getting a big break.

I make 10 gallon batches usually twice a month.  Last year's winter project was building a dedicated electric brewery in the basement (with a hood vented to the great outdoors).  It ran more expensive than I planned, but now I can brew year round and all of my equipment is in one place (and right next to a sink).  And…

@LJo1:disqus Yeah, this was my first (well, 2nd) Lodge enameled and once it's done I won't buy another one.  But their customer service was top-notch.

And I'm totally making those cherry preserves … thanks!

That will cover 90% of your guests and if people complain about the lack of good options, tell them they can stuff off.  They're probably boring people to begin with.

Yeah, but tater-tots are fucking delicious, too.  I buy a big 5lb bag and portion them out into 1/2 lb bags for easy side dishes (including mashing them up and using them for hash browns).

Have you met any of these two young women in social situations before?  Can you?

Doesn't seem to be.  If you're stocking your own bar, I'd suggest to make a 3-4 signature cocktails, some neat bourbon / scotch, and beer & wine.  Avoid having to buy a bunch of mixers and liqueurs.  That shit adds up quick.

Europe is surprising easy to get around.  Cheap flights in England can take you to Dublin and Edinburgh.  Take the train to Paris and then train/fly to either Germany or Italy (or both!) and then fly home.  It's pretty doable in 10-12 days. Or plan for two trips, the UK for one and continental Europe the next year.

We're thinking of riding the Empire Builder next summer for my birthday vacation and I hope to stop off at Glacier on our way to Seattle.  However, I am afraid that it'll Yellowstoney with hordes of fat people in cargo shorts and mewling brats on leashes.

For those of us with quads, there's a fine line between showing strong legs and male camel toe.  And most of the time, we'll never find OTR stuff that fits properly.  So I usually opt for a bit of a looser fit.

Jambalaya on Sunday with homemade andouille.  Fantastic.  I used basmati instead of regular ol' white long grain rice.   Still really good.

I bought a Lodge 6 quart enameled dutch oven ($40).  After a month or two, the enameling started to bubble up and crack. I snapped some pictures and emailed them to Lodge.  They asked me for my address and shipped a new one.   I asked if they wanted to me to ship the old one back and they said, no.  Sweet. I have a…
