We are planning a Hygge themed wedding. The bridesmaids’ dresses will be warm Scandinavian knit sweaters, the groom has been growing a long bushy beard and on the wedding day he’ll be hiding cinnamon sticks and star anise in it and the bride will be driven into the wedding venue in a 1974 beige Volvo station wagon.…

I read way too many of these (up until “foxhead garlands”) before realizing this was satire.

The Freddie Mercury concert took place either right before or right after Anselmo had died. It came out later and when you watch back, it sort of hits you in the gut. From here until about 2:50, although the entire performance is outstanding and beautiful. There are just flashes throughout this part that make me sad…

I used to make the little hand pies, until an “elevated” epiphany told me that I could just bake the pastry by itself and then just spread on as much jam as I wanted in each bite. I love jam.

Also, puff pastry crab rangoon. See the shape? See the ring to cut? See how absolutely easy it is? Yeah. Anything you can fit…

I think a “Lisa Frank breakfast” would be dropping acid and making a southwestern omelette in front of this mural:

Hot mulled cider or ginger clove tea are my go-tos. Chai tea is up there, but not really a special holiday thing.

OK but what about non-alcoholic? I’m the guy who can’t stand the taste of eggnog, alcohol, coffee, or dark chocolate so I’m not sure what all’s left for me.

As an official White Person From Connecticut™, I can brook much of this ribbing in good humor. My tartans and cakes and mug toppers will survive this onslaught of Magaryisms. My holiday good cheer will continue apace and my cup will runneth over with nasty-ass truffle oils while I listen to the Non-specific Winter…

This fellow didn’t vote Trump.

They’ve never been about “the babies”, is why. The anti-abortion movement was created in response to women working more commonly out of the home, and getting more rights than they had had previously.

Where did Israel and Palestine get peace?

More like “forced birth,” because they don’t give a shit about making sure a woman is coerced into pushing it out of her uterus, then fuck them both.

Being from the east coast land of proper pizza, I would have never thought of that!

I woke up to a Misen and a custom made butcher block for my birthday today.

Holy shit, that knife. Even POPE KENJI likes it! We’ll see how it compares to the rest of my drawer over the next few days. I just had my entire collection sharpened, so I’m interested to see how well it holds up against Global, Shun, Wustof,…

For real. It’s not like you can top that.

You bring up witches in cinema and there’s not ONE FUCKING MENTION OF TEEN WITCH!?!?!?!?

Forget? A lot of them never learn to start with. There’s another site I’m on where people were sharing how they or their parents first found out, after their school years. Tons of stories of people in their forties and fifties being utterly stunned that yeah, we did that.

Well that would require the trains to stop in a consistent, logical space and there’s no way they’re doing that.
