I don't know what this is parodying, but it is amazing.

Either way I'm totally going to follow him now.

Ah, that is a good idea. I'll give it a go on Monday.

Parks and Rec is something else I've missed entirely (although I did see an episode on a plane once). Some day, when I have free time again, I have a feeling I'll have a few years' worth of TV built up.

So, I've been out of the US for a bunch of years and have never seen an episode of 30 Rock. It just recently became available on my Netflix. Yes or no, Jezebel? How much am I missing here? I can't (or rather my PhD can't) afford a binge show right now, so if I'm likely to obsess over it's right out.

This straight lady has never had a dream about being pregnant (that I remember, anyway), and I've had three kids. This may be balanced out by all of the dreams I have where I get on an international flight without one or more of them, Home Alone style, though.

That would not be... American.

I can't watch this. As a native St Louisan I'm still all mad at A-B over the whole InBev/fucking over the city thing (well, and plus shit beer), I refuse to allow myself to have good feelings about them.

I have most of her old sewing stuff in boxes (in storage, on the other side of the Atlantic from me). I really need to convince my Dad to ship that stuff to me, I remember so many of those patterns being completely awesome.

I'm pretty sure my mom had the Butterick pattern for that outfit in the Kate Spade ad in the 70s.

This is just entirely incorrect. Weaning from bottles is suggested at around a year because of the potential impact on dental development, but these same issues do not apply to breastfeeding. The WHO suggests breastfeeding for a minimum of two years or as longer as is mutually desired, and that falls within the…

No woman ever actually eats her salad, we're all too busy laughing over top of it.

The last cast was such a train wreck I'm surprised they were able to salvage another season, period. But I'm following all of the gossip of who may or may not be in the new season religiously, even though I am way too old to be this invested in that show.

I'm pretty sure this would fall under the Texas "s/he needed killing" defense.

Lol, this moment isn't the most awkward, though— it's when he sort of half-does it again about 15 seconds later. AWKWARD.

This is true for almost the entire population of Earth, and also Mars.

I bet Dolly gets a cheeky taco with her JIB combo meal, just like I do.

She did and was (PhD in neuroscience, I think), but she's back on TV now— apparently she finds the work-life balance as an actor to be better than that of an academic.

1. Michelle Dockery has the most amazing side-boob I've ever seen. Every adjective I can think of sounds kind of pervy, but wow.

Seconded. "Germophobia" and handwashing do not belong in the same sentence— the latter is just basic hygiene.
