I can’t say I’m surprised by this. Planters has been trying to off him for years! The first attempt was back in 1970, in Minneapolis. Only he used a stand in that day, and an innocent clown named Chuckles was killed instead.

It’s a tick mark you make next to items as you go down a list.

I guess Kerrygold does have a butter/canola oil blend, but I’ve never seen it in the store myself. But you can get their regular butter in a tub also, so you don’t need to use a butter dish. It’s their regular salted butter. It’s the dark green tub - not the gold tub.

I don’t mean to carp, but you need to scale back on these puns now. It’s not like you’re in school anymore. If you annoy your co-workers too much you might get splash-back that could cause your career to flounder. Next you’ll find yourself working at the Shell station, servicing every Stingray and Barracuda that comes…

Or yay for dictionaries! Matt Brown is still right. The word is either plural or a collective noun based on its usage. When used as a collective noun (see #3 below) it is used with a singular verb.  “If the data is out there” is the correct usage.

Saw a 1950s era Ford Prefect a few times in my neighborhood - near Albany NY. No pictures unfortunately. And it’s been quite a while since I’ve seen it around. Like not since the early 2000s. It was an older man who owned it, so he may not be around anymore - or maybe just not driving anymore.

In order to put money into an IRA, you must still be working and earning taxable income - either on a W-2 or a 1099. With the exception that this bill will also allow people to count university stipends and fellowships as if they were taxable income for this purpose. So if you’re not working and earning money, you…

There used to be a restaurant/bar near me called “Vittles & Grog.”

Is Nosferatu available? Then again, he might pass out of professional courtesy.

No. “Thirsty” describes a graceless need for approval, affection or attention, one so raw that it creeps people out.

“While children of identical twins are legally first cousins, genetically they are half siblings.” 

It just refers to a shirtless picture someone posts just because they are thirsty for praise from others. Like, “Look at this and gush over how hot I am. I need the validation of others!”

The lack of fluffiness was because you were missing the acid from the buttermilk, which was supposed to react with the baking soda to give lift. If you’re not using buttermilk, then you should probably substitute baking powder for the baking soda. Baking powder contains acid and base, where baking soda is just the…

You also have to remember that in this case the police didn’t actually witness the reckless driving themselves. They will check out calls about erratic driving to try to catch people driving under the influence. They can use that as an excuse to stop the person to check them out. But they can’t ticket the person for…

She didn’t make anything public. This letter was basically done in lieu of an exit interview, where she was explaining to her bosses why she was quitting. One of the reasons being that people in the campaign were airing grievances publicly.

The problem is that we don’t know what Yoda’s species is called. So referring to the child as a baby version of Yoda makes sense. And it’s sorter than saying “the baby of the unknown species that Yoda is a member of.”

Do you also wring your hands when people pronounce abbreviations like NASA, NOAA and NATO as words, when they don’t do that for abbreviations like FBI and CIA? “But if you do it for one, you must do it for the other!!”

“her and Jay don’t pay for someone to come clean their windows? Give me a break”

Right. Which the first time it was just, this is Luke being Luke. Even though he got weird looks from his sister. But Luke is the sort of dunce who might like someone taking over a task for him by manipulating his hands and arms, so he didn’t even have to think about it. He could go on autopilot and let his mind…
