Growing up, taking the R5 to Center City Philadelphia and going to lunch at Wanamakers was THE best—we still have one of the bags that came with the child's meal (which at the time would have an apple or orange, a coloring book, crayons and animal crackers). The last time we went there was shortly before it closed in…

@Penny Plastic (Archetype): Criminal. I LOVED The End of Fashion.

@LittleEdie: It's not online, but if you can get to a J.Crew Factory store, I've noticed that they use older prints for their lower-priced factory line, usually in similar silhouettes...

@Cafezinha: Because cereal and fruit snacks are, to some degree, processed, and we're accustomed to seeing branded processed foods on the store shelves. Commodities like produce and eggs tend to veer towards branding that says where the product is from, or that it's a reliable company (like Land O Lakes or Chiquita)…

@hfree: I would have loved to have been behind the glass at the focus groups that tested this concept—and would love to know if they even tested it at all...

@gigisinatra: Their frustration is my frustration!

@lucystrawberry is SO SORRY :(: J.Crew has, hands down, the best swimwear I've ever worn. And it'll go on sale from time to time!

@La Chica Lucy: So the origin goes as follows: we went to a Jesuit (i.e. Catholic) school and said friend who got the clapper got all silly one evening and referred to church-goers who went to mass just to get communion and leave (note: I always prefer to be one of these people) and he started calling (but actually…

A good friend of ours got the original gag Christmas gift (or at least it's tied with the Chia Pet) one year: The Clapper. The damn thing only worked when we yelled "COMMUNION WHORE" at it, for some reason.

@Jessica Hussein Lovejoy is now on Facebook! Friends, plz?: It goes without saying that those befuddled folks on infomercial-like ads crack me up EVERY time. It's part of the reason why Tracy Jordan's Meat Machine infomercial is just so damn brilliant.

@NefariousNewt: WOOOOOO. We need more science!

This speech is giving me the chills—he's all no-nonsense, and it is very, very good.

@ChildBride: Gah! didn't type fast enough. Don't forget Beyonce!

@dancerevolution is back in the game: Well, he is supposed to be a bit of a manwhore—he did have "dinner" with Martha Stewart and "lunch" with her daughter Alexis, as well as "the models, the Shakiras" as his ex-wife Bianca put it.

@privityofestate (is excited for the adventures of 4 effemin...: I was a total Peanuts nerd growing up (and still am, obviously per my above post) and I will own up to taking old sticker albums (remember those??) and such to play them out on the piano once I started taking lessons. Years later, I searched out the…

@bellethellama: Or, you know, appreciate. Durr. My laptop's keyboard died this afternoon, so I'm getting used to working off a regular keyboard that is now attached to said lappy.

Here's a way to apprecuate the Schroeder/Beethoven connecton!

@BabyJane: And a friend for the monkey!

@Crabby Cakes is playing Goldfish.: Because clearly marrying too young worked so well for her boyfriend's parents...

I don't understand why Vogue can't kill two birds with one stone by doing photoshoots in the super-fancy houses they feature every month—J.Crew did their March 2008 catalog, and it was such an amazing shoot. Perhaps having the moddles there would take away from the gorgeous homes, but come on....
