I wish I could like this multiple times over. Gawd, it's getting all dusty AGAIN. Someone really needs to clean my office better…

Oh man, I loved those miniatures. It was always such a treat to see them.
This was an absolutely lovely piece — so well-written, well-conceived, and spot-on. And yeah, any serious contemplation about Mr. Rogers gets me all choked up, so I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who suddenly noticed it was really dusty in here. (Just thinking about that Junod piece about him wrecks me.)
Sweater pants? Are a thing? I have been hypnotized by that picture, because I have neither seen nor heard of them before this. Thank you for explaining them, because otherwise I would have been crippled all day by wondering, "What in the hell is going on there, garment-wise?" Instead I'll be crippled all day by…
Uni Watch used to be a regular stop for me, and for some reason it's fallen out of my rotation. Thanks for the reminder!
Right! That's me to a T! Wait…

Gray in a beard makes the beard about 10,000 times sexier.
My dad used to say I looked like Deborah Kerr, which I repeated to anyone who would listen, right up until I actually saw what Deborah Kerr looks like. My dad must have been confusing her with this.
Hey! 36-year-old Liz n Dick dearly loves Murder, She Wrote. You say there's a marathon of it against the Superbowl on A&E? Sweet!
What is this "vacuum" of which you speak?
Goggles were an essential part of the soubise process!
I'm always pro-beard, but you're pretty foxy either way. Isn't that a helpful opinion?
You poor thing! And seriously, unethical/incompetent dentists. Fuck those guys.
@LurkyMcLurkerson:disqus , I have to thank you for the soubise recipe from a couple of weeks ago. I made it last week to go with a roasted chicken, and my family nearly died from the foodgasms. That shit is amazing.
Per a Food Thread suggestion several months ago, I made pulled pork this weekend in the slow cooker — just pork butt, a bottle of root beer (with real sugar), and a bottle of barbecue sauce. It was delightful! (And made somewhat less Semi-Homemade by the fact that I'd made the barbecue sauce this summer, solely for…
The Michael Bay sandwich might be the greatest thing I have ever read. Pure, unmitigated genius.
I'll be really good at this! Because for the longest time I thought the "the moonlight caressed your silhouette" lyric in "Anger Management" was actually saying "the moonlight caressed your silverware." Which… makes no sense, but with Mike Patton you never know, right?
That was my favorite recording released last year. By miles. For my money, it's the best "Mike Patton being a singer, doing normal singing" song in his discography. (Followed by "The Ballad of Hank McCain" on John Zorn's The Big Gundown.)
