I think what you’re getting at is something my first wife used to talk about, which was there’s sort of a human development mystery why human breasts are present, while other mammals only have equivalents while nursing. There was an idea that it was an evolved trait because having breasts also attracted mates. Obvs…

No. A thousand times. I know I’m late on this (appendectomies during a hurricane kinda suck) but there’s a very specific context here. During Katrina, helicopter pilots were convinced they had been shot at during rescue missions. If you’ll recall, Katrina victims in New Orleans were “so poor and so black” as Wolf…

Trader Joe’s Spanish. Because it’s cheap and tasty.

Meal planning was a big thing for us too. Too much mental energy went into my partner and I discussing, debating and deciding what to eat that week. Now we have 2 meals a week decided for us and it’s stuff we wouldn’t ever choose to make, mainly because I think squash is bleh and don’t buy fish very often. It’s also…

I can confirm that Louisiana deserves this rating. It’s both hostile and stupid. There’s a street in Lafayette that leads to an acceleration lane on a highway, but people creep up to the end of the acceleration lane, stop and wait for a gap in traffic to merge from a dead stop. However, if the lane happens to be…

MN drivers refuse the zipper merge for this reason.

Amusingly, they all think it’s people from out of state too.

Aren’t they from the 70s? That sounds par for the course.

You are a crazy person. Where are pintos? They should be 1 or 2. Kidney is a category. Pintos, large red and cannelinis are kidney beans. There are 2 kinds of red beans, small and large. There are dozens of kinds of white beans and they all suck except for cannellini and large lima (butter) beans.

My friend and I tried horse in Brussels last year. Tasted like beef, incredibly tender, good flavor, lean. Surprisingly good. 4/4 stars, would eat again.

I used to work for Delta and seeing a JFK-LAX nonstop for $180 round trip wasn’t anything special. OTOH, I never saw any other coast-to-coast fares that cheap.

When my oldest was around 2, he tried to plug a micro USB phone charger into the USB port in a 2-month-old laptop. Fried the motherboard. I’d have stopped him if I thought that could do anything.

There’s more to this story, but I can’t find your email.

We’ve had Vue for a few months now and are very pleased with it. All the channels we like for $35, plus the HBO add-on. I think its DVR function is unusual, but not problematic. This caught my eye because we’re both sports junkies and, in Houston, our RSN is a weird little entity called Root. I’ve never seen it…

Revival is incredible. Comity!

That sounds nice, but the half-dozen times I went to Blue Door when I lived in the TC were super hit and miss. The last straw was when I got the special, stuffed with shortrib, reduced port and gouda, and I’m pretty sure everything but the short rib must’ve leaked out on the grill. At some point, I quit, started going…

This is my underground pick from this era. I think about this game probably more than any other (outside of major standouts, like Mana, SMW, Zelta, etc). So unique in concept. And I think I only rented it once or twice. Really made an impact.

The worm will turn. It always does.

I worked with the moderator, John Snell, years ago. Top-notch newsman and a class act.

That’s my second favorite after “they will taste the black sperm of my vengeance!”
