@LikeALady: You couldn't find cranberries? I got two 8-oz bags of 'em from Tesco!

@MissBuckyC: I freaking LOVE The Bestiary. I bought a copy at a used book shop and get it out and pick through it on a regular basis.

@BuffyBot: I know how you feel. I was recently invited to a party at my business partner's. It was her daughter's birthday, and there wound up being about 45 adults and 15 kids. I really only knew her and her husband, and I was the only one in the entire group who didn't also speak Russian.

So my sister is in the air right now, en route to Frankfurt. She was supposed to fly from Frankfurt to Birmingham, England (where I live), but a plane crashed on the runway this evening and now the airport's shut. This is her first trip outside the US, and only her third flight experience, so I'm kind of sweating her…

@MissGraceIsDisgraced: "The only thing that really gets to me that I can't deal with is my creepy uncles who hit on me/touch me inappropriately "by accident." Thoughts? Suggestions?"

@keldo: Charles resembles his father— foot in the mouth at all times.

@Beat Girl: "but the best is the sheer number of people who think I'm from somewhere in the US. I once had someone argue with me for 15 minutes that I was from New York and should stop lying."

@Beat Girl: My husband is from Lichfield, his best man was from West Bromwich. It made me want to facepalm when all my (American) family members were saying things like "Oh, those English accents are dreamy! Just like Hugh Grant's!" at our wedding.

@Mega-Panda: I think FH was talking about the current queen's mother, who was also called Elizabeth. When she married Elizabeth II's father, he wasn't next in line for the throne. His brother was.

@TryScience: "Hunk" of the year? Nah.

I am 5'11" and built to swim long distances. But in my dreams, I'm this chick right here.

@burkn: Think of how much MORE attention you'd draw to yourself if you got violently ill from eating food you can't tolerate! Really, if I were cooking for you, I'd want to know. I'd want to make sure you had plenty to eat and could have a nice evening.

@ashleenotashley: Luck and intuition let you fill the dessert cart/ And baby once you're hooked I'll hit you with my cherry tarts

@ashleenotashley: Can't eat my/ Can't eat my/ No you can't eat my/ Fondant hat (She's in a sugar coma)

Long boots with studded knees

@willwriteforfood: "I am picturing them in Fair Isle sweaters

@ritualtheory: I actually kind of thought she resembles post-surgery Kathy Griffin in that photo.

@HelloKitty: I caught 30 minutes of CNN while trapped at O'Hare Airport recently, and I swear I could FEEL my brain cells killing themselves in protest. So, so, so stupid.

@BrutallyHonestBabes (aka Mrs. Sarah.of.a.Lesser.Hobbit): I don't know about that. Imagine trying to clear airport security! I have tits for tits and it's challenging enough.

@ForgotMyMantra: I regularly use "arse-spraying mayhem".
