A+++ use of Gravity Falls gif.

I don’t hate either the Rangers or the Bruins (and in fact live on Boston), but damn, Vancouver really should have had one of those.

Okay, you are making me go look up Spectacular Bid, of whom I had never heard prior to this; because I am that intrigued by someone positing that any hourse (that isn’t Seabiscuit) could possibly challenge the supremacy of Secretariat / Man o’ War. (For the record, I put Man o’ War first; though I understand…

(Starring you SO HARD for the Grenda gif.)

BMC represent! His daughter was the year above me when I was there, and involved enough in campus life it was impossible not to know her. (In a way it made up for being in the same class as Scalia’s daughter?) And at the time, Wofford’s presidency was only like 10 years in the past, and he was still very…

*shrug* My Mom was in her 50s when she lost my father to cancer. Within a few years, she met a new guy, 18 years older than her. They married and were together until he died around age 93. It was definitely the best relationship she ever had (I say this in full loving memory of my father, but seriously, her second…

That’s nice to hear, actually. I always kind of wonder.

Truer words...

Best of all possible worlds. Removing Hamilton never sat right with me, even before the ascendance of the musical. Whereas, Jackson is a racist, genocidal fuck, and deserves to be gone. Replacing him with Tubman is even sweeter news. Can’t we do it before 2020?

As I commented to someone above — they stumbled in S2, but they did come back to a lot of diversity in S3. It became the case again that the two white male characters were very much in the minority, and the rest of the magic-fighting was being done by POC, which was great. It was to the point where, if any of the main…

Agreed, but, to give the show a little credit, they kept up (or, returned to?) their diverse roots in S3. It was really nice to watch a scene where the expanded team (like, up to 6 or 7 people) stands around a table to figure out how to deal with the latest threat, and only 2 of those people are white men.

You can, in fact, train a stunt horse to take a dive. It used to be that you could tell by watching movies that featured a lot of horses falling down (i.e. in combat or ambush scenes) whether the production was using stunt horses, or just rigging tripwires to take down untrained horses, by the way they fell. The…

It took me reading most of the article before I realized that it wasn’t a consistent misspelling of “bare”, but rather, might be related to little bear-shaped squeeze bottles being one of the most popular containers for liquid honey. If that is NOT the reason for the phrase, I’m not sure I want to know.

I’ve tried the more modern ones, yeah. I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve worn a tampon, but I have a few times, all related to going swimming. It’s just really weird, and probably related to my overall inexperience, but I never feel “secure” when I am wearing a tampon. Perhaps if I’d started early I…

THANK YOU. I only ever hear people praising cups to the high heavens, and I tried it and haaaaaated it and then felt defective. (Related: I have never really gotten the hang of tampons. Which perhaps affects my feelings towards the cup, I don’t know.) Ugh.

That is true, yes. I have not seen the Hammer/Depp film. I’ll watch it at some point, I guess. From what I recall of the promo art, I didn’t think Hammer’s costume in it was *terrible*, per se.

You know, I’m staring at this, and this was my thought-process: hmm, interesting contrast between the shade of blue of Superman’s suit and the Lone Ranger’s suit. I wonder why the Lone Ranger’s suit is that particular shade of blue. Like, back in the day, what did the concept artists / costume designers think they…

IT’S WHAT’S FOR DINNER.

Psst: the secret is that it is also good for dinner.

Huh; I always thought that Taylor ham was a slightly different product, as the boxes in south Jersey definitely say pork roll.
