Most of the problem is that in addition to 8 little fingers and two little thumbs, I only have one little mouth. Some burgers are just too wide for my face, but at least if I cut them in half I can start with the small corner.

No, you fool! Kristen Schaal is a horse.

"And that, kids, is how I met your Red Robin. I mean Aunt Robin . . . your Mother!. How I met your mother.
You know what. Never mind. I'm sorry I wasted your time."

There's no shame in cutting a burger like that in half to make it more manageable. A restaurant I worked at had a one pound burger, and when we first had it on the menu, we ran a special where if you ate the entire burger, with sides, you'd get a coupon for another one free. I didn't think I could eat a one pound…

Thanks for the reminder. I found out that there's a Culver's about an hour from me - which is about 24 hours closer than any time in the past decade.

They do have some delicious salads. And oddly, more strictly vegetarian options than a lot of chain restaurants.

That shake is pretty good. I prefer their raspberry though, followed by their mint-chocolate.

The monster salted caramel shake probably has something to do with it. That hardly seems fair, though - it isn't really part of the meal.

Who doesn't go to Red Robin expecting to consume mass quantities?!? I still want to take advantage of their bottomless rootbeer float. Go in at the start of the day and re-read 1Q84. Should keep me there for a while.

I thought Noonan was George Carlin in that picture up there.

12 episodes, 12 monkeys - that's pretty gross.

That's not how it works! That's not how any of this works . . .

Oh, fuck no! I hate when American Dad does cutaway gags. I'm so sick of them.

I haven't kept up with it in a while (because last I checked he had no RSS feed), but I'd love to see it on the screen somehow. He's got something like 15 years of storyline that he could go with.

The thread is pretty important - I'm not sure how they can leave it out.

That's not how it works . . . that's not how any of it works!

IIRC, they existed right off the bat. The prologue explained that they were distant offspring colonists of a 'Parallel Earth, Resource Negligible' world that fell out of contact with the home planet. It even explained thread.

The Harpers were definitely the best part of the series. And F'nor seemed much better than his brother, for that matter. In fact, the leads were a lot less interesting than the support, even if Lessa was a stronger character than most of the women in books at the time.

I'd much rather have firelizards than dragons. They seemed so useful. And then BAMF in the X-Men just cemented it.

They were exemplars of the 'If Michael Whelan did the cover art, they're worth reading' rule. And hit the Whelan / Maps / Glossary trifecta. Even got the 'Atlas of Pern' treatment by Karen Wynn Fonstad, even if it did make me notice how vulval the Weyrs looked.
