I actually had to stop reading the NY Observer column to come back here and say how much I heart the word "twatted." I'd never thought of it as a verb before, but the word "snatched" exists, so why not?

@DutchessOfDork: The mother signed away her parental rights several years earlier.

@TinkishDelight: She's a UK pinup/Playboy-type model.

@WaltzingMatilda(theOriginal): That was the only thing that redeemed all their fighting, IMO... Sookie is always getting on Bill for some perceived screwup he didn't see until he walked into it... In a weird way, Sookie's big "oops" moment with Jessica sort of evens the scales. Maybe she'll be a little more…

@porcuPINE: Here's one of the Empire of the Sun logo, courtesy of Cafe Press:

Ugh. Mr. IvyLeague is sick so I relinquished the remote last night and we wound up watching this. I didn't see this clip, but the show generally sucks. Think pus-filled zit and barf jokes level of suck.

Hmm, guess I'm a sex kitten in distress (I was all B's and D's). That sounds like it might be fun sometimes (the sex part, at least; I hearted Isla Fisher in Wedding Crashers.)

@tcurt: Oh, yeah, Sr. is a *jerk*. Jr.'s not much better, but Mikey is a genuinely nice guy.

@electrogeek77: Ooh, or better yet you can employ the foolproof strategy my parents always did: Never go see movies because they are ALL* made by EVIL Hollywood LIBERALS and contain subliminal messages from SATAN.

@Rzep: Lol... I feel like I should've written off the cost of those books on my taxes as an educational expense, cuz they sure were an education! (Not that I was literally itemizing my taxes when I was 16 years old, mind you ;-)

@NefariousNewt: Maybe China does want to see us get in a war with N. Korea. Keep in mind, they hold I believe close to $1 trillion in US debt and right now they are *very* worried that a potential drop in the value of the dollar would make their investment worth much less. ...And there's nothing like a war to…

@dj_chick: I took her freakout to be more that they were turning this horrible murder spree into gossip/joke fodder.

Hrm, I'm sure everything that's to be said on this has already been said but I'd just like to add..

@kppontrucking: Oh, you only have the pine ones? Damn, I was looking for clove-gingerbread. No worries; I'll just pop into the next hoo-ha and see if they've got 'em.

@KiddyKat: Especially if by "choice" you mean choosing between the steak and the lamb ;-)

@birminghamdrunk: I never get these BIs and I instantly thought of the Wilson bros too.

@Sputnik_Sweetheart: Yeah, I never would... That horse has gotta be wearing capri pants, at least.

@oh.geez.: This *was* done a long time ago. Playboy TV did a segment quite a while ago. I'd dig up a link but I don't want to give them the traffic.

@SomeAuthorGirl: Ooh, do we get to spoon afterwards?

My relationship with chocolate is polyamorous... I love my dark chocolate, my Lindt truffles and my Reese's peanut butter cups all equally.
