Madonna Lactans! A genre of Renaissance artwork, considered pretty darn holy. Although that image you posted is pretty miraculous: if that's the ballistic arc that the milk is taking, it should be taking the back of his head off.

Be racist? But I am le tired.
My headcannon is that they were both adopted by a grouchy Brooklyn deli owner with a heart of gold who keeps them too well fed on pastrami scraps for them to do any more Animaniacs episodes.
That's Madeleine Kahn, my dear internet person!
It's on Prime!? I'd been waiting for it on Netflix, but I hadn't considered Prime! *makes popcorn, pulls up blanket, watches cartoons*
They were so great, and smart. A wonderful indie theater near me once had an afternoon Animaniacs marathon during the town fair, and I sat and watched for hours and hours. Did you know that the Nations of the World song lists Tibet and Palestine as nations? Serious political chutzpah, those guys.

Fellow children of the 90s, we were raised with Ms. Peters in our Saturday Morning tv cartoons. She was the voice of stray cat Rita on Animaniacs.
Not me, but at my corporate software office, we would sometimes have tea breaks, where a few of us would gather at the break table, make a nice pot of an interesting loose-leaf tea, and relax for a few.

My local roller rink has Jazzercize classes, in between roller derby practice sessions and 80s theme nights. The 80s are alive!

I don't even know what burrito sauce is, but now I desperately want it.
Also, we do a lot of things involving trees. Are they all about Christmas, too?
The Economist. "Backsides Up: The New American Obsession with Buttocks and What That Means for the Dollar."
I'm willing to consider that a) there could exist good fondant (ie, the kind made with marshmallows, which I've never had), and b) there could exist someone who likes the taste of regular fondant. But the kind for these decorative cakes is literally just gelatin, glycerin, and sugar. It tastes like…
I literally snapped at a friend when they asked me if I use fondant in my cakes. Note, I make a *lot* of artistic cakes and cupcakes for my research group. And they are all 100% edible *and* delicious. Below is a cake that I made to celebrate a friend's successful Kickstart about an antarctic research station. All…
Also, I JUST HAD to look up "Sonnet to a Clam", and now I'm dead of really terrible 19th century clam puns. Thanks, internet.
