NEVER share your hard-earned "chocolates from coworkers' travels" spoils.  Well, unless they suck.  If it's shitty chocolate, make a big show of graciously leaving it out in the break room for all to enjoy.

Congrats to your Islanders!  It's been a long time coming.  Now that my Devils are out, I'm feeling strangely pro-Islander.  Maybe it's a "shared misery of being the red-headed stepchild on MSG Network" thing?  A week ago I would have said I didn't care about them, but all of a sudden I'm like, "WOOOOOOOOOO…

Aw, thanks.  ::sniffle::

Ooh, getting chocolates for doing your job is so nice!  My boss recently came back from China (a trip I arranged for him), and brought chocolates for everyone, just a big box he had in his office that people were supposed to help themselves to.  They were horrible, but I didn't know how to tell him that.  Finally our…

The fact that it goes bad like 17 minutes after you make it is one of my favorite parts.  "Oooh, I just made a huge bowl of guac.  AND NOW I HAVE 16 MINUTES TO EAT ALL OF IT!  Woo hoo!"

Holy crap that's a lot of seedlings!  You must have a lot more garden real estate than I do…  That's very reassuring to hear your seedlings are doing better after their brush with death.  Here's hoping we caught ours in time.

I got NOTHING!  I support a group of over 70 people and I only found out it was Admin Day from another admin in my building.  I was all, "I hope you got lots of gifts and flowers, ha ha" because as far as I know, everyone treats this day like a joke.  She was all, "I did!" and suddenly my scoffing at the lameness of…

You make an excellent point.

That sound was just my mind exploding.  Guacamole?  ON A GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICH?  This might be the most brilliant thing ever.

I loved having my wisdom teeth out!  All four were done at once, and the whole experience of the surgery was awesome (fantastic drugs, good music on my headphones, the totally fascinating feeling of my teeth being smashed up or the suction of a whole one being extracted [at least, I'm assuming that's what was going…

I just got a bottle of Bulleit Rye as well!  I completely agree with your assessment; it's a rye a girl can get used to drinking.

Gardening thread!

That sounds incredibly delicious!  And quite a bit like the "totco" salad that we make in my house — leftover taco toppings served over tater tots.  (Also magnificent?  "Chiltots", or tots with chili on top.  Soooo healthy, too.)

Same here.  Disqus doesn't think I'm valuable, which is fine by me.

Isn't that soubise the BEST?  Lurky's my hero for introducing it to my life.

I wish I had more likes for you for this.

Wow, that's basically the rightest answer to "what song do you hate?"  I've agreed with a fair number of the ones that have been picked so far, but holy shit does "One Week" blind me with rageful hate.  How hasn't it gotten called out yet?

My grandmother had it, and sadly, we didn't get any funny moments out of it (she just got increasingly upset when people visited her because she didn't know who anyone was).  But we were friends with another family who had a grandmother with it, and she was much more hijinks-y.  She spoke many languages fluently, and…

@avclub-f5e6c4f2419b8302811f2092114c65d6:disqus That was probably me!  Oh how I don't miss those socially awkward moments when I would realize that I'd just given a "Prius BFFs 4 Eva!" thumbs-up to someone driving an Echo.  "Maybe I should just pretend I have a tic in my hand?  Or that I was going to comb my hair with…
