Trashogatos! Instant coffee and cheap vanilla ice cream, liquor optional (but cheap whiskey works well here).

I like affogatos. They're like coffee floats with gelato and make a nice after-dinner-non-dessert finisher, especially if you're somewhere with a good selection of gelato flavours. YMMV. ::shrug, chugs affogato::

Bannon is sooooo six hours ago. Then we talked about Miller for a while but now it's Flynn.

Update: I'm enjoying it. It's a slight update and true to the sources I've known almost all of my life. A "B" grade feels right - it reads pulpier than some other anthologies, but who wants to read scholarly translations of the sagas ALL the time? (Edit: no one.)

You guys are killing me here. I had both the Greek and Norse D'Aulaires checked out for about three years continuously in elementary school. Thank you for reminding me to get those for my friend's kid (the one most likely to dig them).

HAWT.

See: Son of Zorn. Or not, YMMV.

Man, the amount of Twin Peaks assorted ancillary paraphernalia I still own boggles my mind. That, and the amount of $$$ and effort and time I spent tracking this stuff down in the pre-internet days. I just came across the trading cards, which I bought primarily for the cherry pie recipe.

Medium? Pffft. Mine's extra large - my office has a little-used plotter.

Kindler and Lorne Bouchard go waaaaaaaaaay back - unless Kindler's gotten even saltier over the past five years or so, I can't see it. (Doesn't mean it's not possible, of course.)

When in doubt on the AV Club, assume it's a Simpsons reference.

It's the electrified cupcake, and we are all Bart.

TIL Twisted Kilt is a Canadian variation on the Tilted Kilt "theme". I thought both were just crappy chain Irish-style "pubs".

This ep melted even my black, charred, lumpen heart. As a rule, Valentine's Day episodes of anything make me cringe and run to change the channel, but every storyline paid off. The writers kept all the balls in the air and brought it in for a landing. And as someone who didn't figure out that she was lactose…

I told you twice I was only tryin' to be nice -
…only tryin' to be nice.

Mom watched from the kitchen window and clucked her tongue. Being a mom of three, she could show up in the back yard with a full-on first aid kit within 15 seconds, but until there was copious blood we were left to our own potentially disfiguring devices.

Here's the AVC review from 2011, including a link to the WaPo review:

Ditto. Entertaining, dark fun, highly adaptable and two capable actors in the lead? I'm intrigued.

We called that "Saturday afternoon" and made it a competition. Like, the winner was either the person who ducked away last or the person who was standing closest to where it stabbed the grass. We were all pretty cautious, though, so the first kid usually took off even before the lawn dart started its descent, and…
