The thing is though they are sort of trained to field questions about pay gaps, foreign policy, and equal rights. That is why Miss Utah's answer was such a stupid garbled mess. She had her Talking Point Platform and was trying to bring a question that was not closely related to her Talking Points back around to her…

Can we just stop asking beauty queens questions that involve answers more involved than "children, puppies and rainbows for all!"?

I just saw this - you may want to look at Harrisville yarns. I think you can buy in bulk direct from the mill. Wool of the Andes used to be really affordable but has gone up in price.

For animal fibers, Cascade 220 or the Brown Sheep line are my go to wools. They are workhorse yarns. I've had horrible luck knitting homespun but I've heard it is better crocheted. Is the no-animal only wool or no animal fiber period because that makes a huge difference. I would be careful with a cotton blanket as…

So for inexpensive acrylic for a cozy afghan, you can't beat Lion Homespun which you can usually get with a 40% off coupon at Michaels or Joann. It wears and washes no problem. This is the go-to yarn for gifts for people who are ill and will need to be washing their things frequently as they go in and out of care,…

Oh yeah, I hear you. I've spent far, far more than I rightly should on yarn sometimes. Dishie is just a humble little cotton yarn, but honestly, I use it for a ton of stuff. And PS, the fact you are planning FIVE afghans, makes you my hero! Good luck.

I'm a knitter (one day I'll screw up enough courage to try crochet), and I've only made one large blanket. It was for a baby, so I used KnitPick's Dishie, if you can believe it. I know it's cotton, but they have soooo many colours and it turned out great. I've make a few things out of their Wool of the Andes yarn too,…

Manos del Uruguay is a bit expensive, but Classica is a really nice wool, plus there are various silk and alpaca and merino blends. It also comes in different weights. It makes beautiful blankets and sweater. My mom is the US distributor, (so I have an obligation to plug it whenever possible) but it really is a great…

Bow Before ROD

I don't think the Hound's love for Sansa is unrequited at all. I'm pretty sure she's kind of obsessed with him in spite of/partially because of his looks. They are my favorite ship besides the obvious Dany/Jon pairing.

Or - the old "frozen leg of lamb" routine.

It is disappointing. I always figured if my writing career never went anywhere I could always write porno puns. I have so many of them! Personal fave : "My Fair Ladyboy". Me and my friends figured out the songs for that one and everything!

Yes! The Amanda Knox article was really good! I felt like I could speak with authority on the case after reading it.

So, true story:

Whaaaaaaaaaat? I knew his taste in art was terrible but I didn't know he hated good food too.

You'd be surprised at the amount of drawn porn that exists for that small annoying runt from the film alone.

Apparently there's an upcoming X-men one called "X-men XXX: A Porn parody". Not just XXX-Men? Are there lawsuits if they don't clearly label it a parody or something?

I don't know if it is just me but I always think that Wreck It Ralph sounds like a porno title.

That is horrifying.

The dinner scene was nothing short of inspired.
