Eh, there was a typo in "Detroit" in another post.

I miss VV. Michael Ian Black as Johnny Bluejeans: "Don't give coffee to monkey!"

Wonderful story.

No on both counts.

I had mine done 8 years ago in MI, where medical care isn't particularly cheap. It ran somewhere between $9K-$10K. The procedure was done in a hospital's outpatient surgery unit under general anesthesia, followed by an overnight stay. I chose—and would recommend—a surgeon known for reconstructive work, and he was…

Interesting. Hasn't the usual career trajectory been to leave a Gawker blog to go to an Awl blog? How did Denton poach you? (And glad to read the feature again.)

Febreeze just tricks our noses into not smelling the stink that's really still there! It's science!

I live in a little pre-WWII house. The previous owners left us their harvest gold washer and dryer, which survived almost 35 years from when they were manufactured until they became unrepairable five years ago. When I shopped to replace them, I found massive units with clear-coat finishes, available in a broader range…

How wonderful you found one another.

This is a new feature? Somehow I doubt it's going to boost page views.

Everyone seems to have forgotten about Indiana. If I didn't have to drive through it to get to Chicago from Michigan, I'd forget it, too.

Yes. I remember reading about his love of the rice cooker a couple of years ago, and found this today. Sigh. http://www.dnainfo.com/chicago/20130405/lincoln-park/roger-ebert-kitchen-legendary-critic-also-loved-cook

I did a 2-year course of allergy shots to control asthma triggered by virtually everything but cat and dog dander. I didn't find the shots painful. The potential drawbacks are the lack of time and money. I had good health insurance and that my then-employer was flexible about letting me take off early to go to the…

Fine-looking cat you got there.

My (non-Jewish) husband bought some unpleasant kosher for Passover olive oil flavored "Mediterranean" matzah he found on an end cap at the supermarket. This cancelled out the good will he generated by picking up a 3 lb tray of macaroons at Costco last week.

Can you cite a single peer-reviewed study that adheres to established double-blind research protocols that supports the benefits of chiropractic?

Nothing cuter than a big box o' cat.

Yeah, there are different levels of discourse. I don't think it's necessary to write academic prose here, nor would I have complained about crappy writing in a comment on Dirt Bag. But when a poster feels qualified to criticize the quality of "all the classics," it's difficult to take that criticism seriously when…

Sorry, slaybelle. I used a convention people in a forum I participate in use when they want to get rid of a post that can't be deleted. Didn't mean to be snotty.

By which I mean I deleted a comment that I stuck in the wrong thread. No reflection on slaybelle!
