fortunately, I don't have any of those, and most of my Yinzer friends are more like angryofficelady922

If it makes any difference, I'm a die-hard Yinzer and I still hope for a career-ending and erection-destroying injury for that cretin. Not death, though, because I want him to have to think about what he has done for a LONG time before that sweet release comes to him.

The Ina Garten mention is a good time to reintroduce this fantastic write-up, wherein you rewatch episodes of the "Barefoot Contessa" and imagine that Ina is a crazy invalid whose husband was killed in the war.

I couldn't help but snert a little- my big dog's name is Good Charlotte so I always see those two words with her silly face attached.

Good for Chris and Anna. I was born 12 weeks premature and weighed in at a hefty 2.2 lbs.—and that was back in '79. Preemies are great. Go, Jack, go!

I had this boring desk job where it was easier for me to focus and do my work if I could be listening to music or news or whatnot. When I found the TAL archive I really hit the jackpot. I methodically went through each show from the very beginning. "Fiasco" was the first time I ever betrayed that I was doing something…

Thank you for writing this Rebecca. Purm was also a badass feminist and loved Jezebel.

Reaching for the positive in this story: ROCK ON, OKLAHOMA KNITTING FEMINISTS.

Nothing like a well-played LOTR joke to lighten a murdery mood

The tomato is acceptable to me in lieu of ketchup. Chicagoans acting horrified by the thought of ketchup on a hot dog is actually the most ridiculous thing about Chicago hot dogs.

Oh God Mark, WHYYYYYY???

McConaughey and Hathaway together? THE WORST.

I used to babysit a little girl who had received a heart valve from a little boy who died in a car accident. Her and her family actually named him (for confidentiality reasons they don't give you the donor's actual name) and would include him in their regular prayers.

And this is the point when some staffer sets him up with Notepad on his computer and tells him it is the "new" Twitter...

She's on Twitter. But she's laying low mostly. I really liked that show. I bet it would've been more fun in the 60's-70's.

I loved both books, myself. I think the similarity to both was this feeling of being into a world that I had nothing in common with, but the characters were so well drawn that I felt like I knew them.

Is the Mom's bridge club?
