I'm always a bit curious about the relationship between Jews and evangelical Christians. This particular flavor of Christianity believes that the End Times will bring the Rapture, where all true believers in Christ will be taken physically up into heaven, and that one of the most important signs of the End Time and…

"Basically Heaton had no choice—oil's not like any other 7-year-old girl has ever been very set on being a princess."

Feed me, Seymour. Feeeeeeeeeeed meeeeeeeeee.....

Well, the reason that the food you cook doesn't look like the food pictured in the cookbook is that the food in the cookbook has been through the hands of professsional food stylists; turkeys get varnished, grill marks get painted on, "ice cream" is a mixture of Crisco and sugar, etc.

Ride this thing and you'll end up totally Verrückt... then again, maybe you don't give a Schlitterbahn.

Ah, hommage. Ah, homage. One means a ceremonial acknowledgement of allegiance by a vassal to his or her lord, while the other means a special honor or respect shown or expressed publicly. Same idea, different specific meanings.

Shit happens.

Other names include "Our Village's Favorite Idiot".

Because straight men are obsessed with large penises. Really, it's all they can think about. When he's not thinking about his own penis, the straight man is thinking about what other people are thinking about his penis and whether it's large enough, and he's thinking no, they think it's not large enough, so I need a…

Bartleby the Nanny?

Thank you! This is one of the best and most concise guides to beef cuts I've ever seen.

Thanks for that link. It amazes how fresh and alive the Kodachrome colors are, and every single "Rosie the Riveter" is beautiful.

It always gladdens me when I read about Edsel Ford and his forward thinking ideas; his father Henry and he battled, but it was Edsel's influence that developed the Model A in 1927 when the desire to own a Model T was on it's last legs. The Lincoln Zephyr and Lincoln Continental were also developed under his aegis, no…

Know what? I don't need 4k at home. Nobody needs 4k. They may want it can covet it for the next three to five years as proof of their high-endedness, but by the time the price comes down far enough for the mainstream consumer, there will be 8k, incompatible with 4k, incompatible with bluray, blah, blah.

Oh, great. Great with a big brass bottom and shiny copper knobs on. A whole new type of car and still the little fucker doesn't fly. WHERE'S MY FLYING CAR?!? WHERE'S MY FUCKING FLYING CAR??? You PROMISED me a flying car in the 21st century and it's 2014 and I DON'T HAVE ON YET. Get those FUCKING TIRES OFF THE GROUND…

But you still don't get to tell people what to get you as a gift. Remember, no one — let me repeat that, no one — is obligated to give you anything. Wedding Guests, remember this; a wedding invitation is not a command to perform the act of gifting. If you like the people and want to give them a gift, that's lovely.…

Here is Kim Kardashian's latest wedding dress.

Suddenly I wish I lived in Atlanta so I could visit these beauties every day. All this really brilliant design in one place... I know they're not practical in most cases, but things of great beauty rarely are.

Strangely enough, back in the 1970's and 80's it seems to have been the thing for people from the suburbs surrounding Detroit to answer the where-are-you-from question with "Detroit" with no further explanation, at least in Chicago. I discovered this after I moved to Chicago in the mid-80's, because if you told people…
