I agree with Josh. The words with altered meanings that I can recall off the top of my head - highway, shotgun, phone, zombie, cunt, keyboard - all avoid explanation of some tricky concepts for the children to understand.

Ted. It was Ted.

Kathryn Bigelow
What a night for her, but her second time at the mic almost veered into the territory of that Miss Teen USA "such as the Iraq" speech.

This article mostly made me realize that Sean O'Neal and I can't be friends anymore. He has failed me greatly with this one.

How is this kid gonna rebel against her father when she's in her teens?
I bet she'll love late Eric Clapton. Maybe go through a Simon and Garfunkel phase.

I read somewhere that he had six hesitation wounds, which are more shallow and less damaging, and three deep wounds. Hesitation wounds are common in these types of suicides, given that you're stabbing yourself, and all.

"Now I know you all have thousands of questions…"

At this stage of the game, there's usually more than one real clunker of a dish per round, so to catch the judges' attention you have to (a) make bad dishes repeatedly, and yet be well aware and able to articulate how things went awry or (b) make one bad dish, then have no clue that it was a bad dish and defend it in…

We'd all like to flee to the Cleve.

I, too, was extremely thrown off by the replacement of Padma. How could she possibly be otherwise engaged? Too busy spending her sweet, sweet Salman Rushdie divorce money? I am well aware that Padma is skinny (she reminds me of a cricket with all of her stick-thin limbs), but Kelly has that oversized anorexic head.…
