They have to!  Right?  Right??

I'm in some serious "why isn't it spring yet?" cooking doldrums, and have just been getting lazier and lazier in the kitchen.  But last night I managed to make a really delicious super-lazy dinner.  I baked a block of feta with a drizzle of olive oil and a ton of cracked pepper until it was soft and gooey, then tossed…

I've been meaning to try that!  Please do report back on how it goes.

Is "Like licking crunchy bits of dried syrup off the maple-syrup bottle" supposed to be a bad thing?

Columbo has aged remarkably well.  The stories still seem entertaining (although certainly a bit gentle by today's murder-mystery standards), the performances are top-notch, and the writing is excellent.  But when you add in the mind-blowingly amazing '70s clothes and decor?  It's a show that's pretty much…

It would be pretty awesome if your sister could post here about it…

I have to agree about Murder, She Wrote — that'd get me watching programming in real-time too.  And I'm not too proud to admit it!  If that makes me an elderly Midwesterner, so be it!

Oh my god, this is so horrible and so wonderful and as much as I love @avclub-4caf6aa0375b2499ebfe7e971b36eee3:disqus's likely winner, I would give this one the prize.

Now there's a wonderful flashback!  That was included in A Children's Almanac of Words at Play, a compilation of fun, funny, kid-friendly poetry that my dad made sure my siblings and I each had our own copy of (so we could annotate and dog-ear as we all saw fit).  I treasured that book, and I think this was my…

That's humbling.

That was my first R-rated movie in the theater, too!  I was aghast at all the nekkidness and wolfman sex, and figured, now that I was allowed to see R-rated movies, my life would be full of such films.  The rest of the R-rated movies I've seen since then haven't really lived up to that promise…

@avclub-00989c20ff1386dc386d8124ebcba1a5:disqus Jagr's was like the apotheosis of the mullet.

I went out to lunch with some friends from my office, and they picked a horrible Chinese buffet.  So now I'm in that horrible state of being really hungry but also really queasy.

Scissor-murdering is also cool!

[TRIES TO HIGH FIVE, MISSES. MAKES POOR ATTEMPT AT LOOKING LIKE IT NEVER HAPPENED BY AWKWARDLY RUNNING HAND THROUGH HAIR, THEN JAMMING IT INTO A POCKET.]

Congrats on the good news in the dating department!  Good luck on the second one — I hope the smooching goes well.

OMG, if we can contribute to stopping the Porsche, we'll be doing good for humanity.  That would be awesome!  So… is it safe for me to put my email up here?  In my profile?  Is that how people do this?  I'll put it in my profile — shoot me a line when you can, and I'll keep my fingers crossed that no other ax…

I'd love to meet up!  My sister (Hugs and Hisses) and I are going to be in-person-ing with friends from Flickr, so it would be great to toss in another internet meet-up.  We can double our chances of being ax murdered!  Anyway, we haven't got any daytime plans for Saturday and Sunday, March 9 & 10, so let me know if…

@avclub-6a2ec3076bb494e5c64eb1a422d9fe3d:disqus Thank god for that update, otherwise I'd have gone ahead and done something stupid like take up precious suitcase space with pants. 

Now THAT is a hawt car!  You'd definitely turn this spinster's head if you drove by in that.
