Heh. The second time I was behind the wheel of a car I ran over a rabbit about a block from my parents' house. This was in a city, in an area where I've never seen rabbits before or since, but this dumb little fucker ran right in front of me.

Christ. I ran over a chipmunk this morning, in the exact same spot I ran over a rabbit less than a month ago. I think I need a new route to work.

Awww, shucks.

Yep, rhubarb's the best.
My mom finally moved out of my childhood home earlier this spring and the one thing I was sad about was losing the big rhubarb patch at the back of the yard.

1) Put your peaches in a big bowl
2) Pour boiling water over them and let them soak for a couple of minutes
3) Remove from bowl and watch the skin just slough off! (the same thing works for tomatoes)

Pixies  – Head On (first Pixies song I ever heard, and still one of my favourite songs in the world)

I'm a purist – I go with the first five songs I heard on my commute.
No substitutions!

I find Red Delicious apples are the only year round reliable apple – but you have to choose them very wisely. There are few apples shittier than a shitty Red D (yeah, that's what I call 'em).

This one is "A Taste of Thai" Garlic Chilli Sauce, if I'm not mistaken – not as hot as sriracha and a bit sweeter.

I'm eating an avocado, turkey and swiss sandwich on multigrain rye (with Thai chilli garlic sauce!) and it's pretty god damn good.

Miles O'Keefe!

Well, you're a dick.

@avclub-dd03de08bfdff4d8ab01117276564cc7:disqus Just please, for the love of god, watch out for poison ivy. Er, so my friend told me.

I have an acquaintance who writes a semi-fake advice column for a national newspaper (I think he's been relegated to their website now) – he takes real letters (although most end up being from his friends) and offers his patented Extremely Bad Advice, usually with a kernel of good advice hidden in there.

I remember the name and know we saw it (for some reason I think they loaded about 4 classes into the lunch room to watch it instead of showing it in individual classrooms) but don't remember the movie itself at all (other than a kid randomly dying in a snowbank). That spoiler sounds… not very plausible? Either way I…

Yeah, I liked that dude too. He seemed to know a lot about growing cucumbers.

The thing with Bellona was that before the Lux Interior shitfest ("Who?") she seemed to be a pretty reasonable commenter, but after making a single ill-advised post she just kept digging herself deeper.

My proudest moment as a grocery store stockboy was putting on one of the produce department smocks that was several sizes too small and performing the "fat guy in a little coat" routine for my co-workers and actually popping the seams on one of the sleeves.

I've always been a big fan of the spare gloves exchange ("Harry! Your hands are freezing!")

Same situation here… saw it in my late teens, already convinced I hated Jim Carrey, and (surprise) hated it. After being forced to rewatch it a few years later I found it pretty funny and subsequent rewatches have only made it funnier.
