Being in the Nutmeg State, you’ve never had seafood with a little cheese mixed in? A cheesy crust on baked fish?

Despite giving Portland, OR, a wide berth, my better half and I try to get over to Europe every year. We were supposed to go to Portugal this year. Oh well.

Oh yes, and the faux Filet-O’-Fish sandwiches can’t be easier. You heat up some Mrs. Paul’s fish filets in the oven. A couple of minutes before they’re done place the sliced hamburger buns on the same baking sheet to toast them. Pull that out and assemble: bottom of hamburger bun, slice of very mild cheddar cheese or…

I get picked for jury duty all the time. I was the foreman for a Federal grand jury that went on FOR EIGHTEEN MONTHS. It was empaneled for a huge fraud scheme that could have taken down one of the largest financial institutions in the world (this was brought by the Southern District of New York) so twice a week I…

I made, with no adulterations:

Did you ever see the Brunch Episode? Their real-life buddy Aimee Mann is the hostess? She showed up in a few episodes.

That one gal was like a bad episode of “Portlandia,” so more your general neck of the woods. She had very strange dietary rules. I once ran into her in the cafeteria on the rare day that she showed up before 11. I was holding one of those single-serve cartons of grapefruit juice. “You shouldn’t drink that so early in…

I worked with a woman who was a book cover designer for a major publisher. She announced to us that she took the covers off her books, even the covers she had designed, threw them away, and arranged the books by the color of their simple cloth binding. If you’ve ever taken the paper cover off a hardcover you’ll know…

And more widely, Commonwealth. My guess is the commenter is a MAGA-supporting Canadian, of which there are quite a few, apparently.

Very Annie Wilkes.

I’ve been reading this site since Gawker’s inception in 2002 (!) I have only bought one thing through it. Last year around Halloween kinjadeals had this massive variety pack of candy bars for pretty cheap. I bought it because Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups were part of the mix. I managed to eat every single candy bar…

I don’t know if it’s a remake. I googled “Slackers” to remind myself how old I am (it came out in 1990, 1991, conflicting info) but what came up first was something called “Slackers” from 2002. I had never heard of this and investigated no further. I assume it’s a remake.

My sisters were girl scouts in the 70s. The vests were very era appropriate because they also had gauchos, which were often worn with a vest:

When one of my nephews was about 13 we were hanging out, just the two of us, and he said, “Uncle Matthew, have you ever seen ‘Office Space’?” “Oh yes, it’s one of my favorites.” “Me too. Do you wanna watch it again?”

Double (even triple) posting happens to me sometimes, but very radmonly and only for about a day or so. Kinja, like God, works in mysterious ways. And watch this get double-posted!

That was excellent. Come-on a my house, Phoebe. We would have so much to talk about.

I’ll trade. I get ads for tech services I neither want nor need. I could always use another good pair of shoes and a comforting pillow.

He’s 19? I recently came across a photo of my father holding me as a baby and my father looked younger than him. My father was 36.

One of my neighbors is one of those global finance types. He is not an American citizen and has accepted a job abroad. We really like each other and he was saying he wasn’t sure when we’d see each other again, with all the travel restrictions to come to the US. I said, “Well, cheer up, where you’re going they also…

Speaking of “high” alert: I know this woman must be a “good” Christian lady and does not drink or smoke pot. But her doctor has to have her on some mind-altering therapeutics cocktail. Right?
