What is that painting over the sofa? A woman wearing stockings, torn lingerie, on her hands and knees with a Japanese toy robot from the 1950's behind her? It sort of resembles a pulp sci-fi paperback cover, but it's a bit strange to find to see it and a dog dressed as Santa riding a Roomba at the same time.

Find a copy of 2002's Secretary with James Spader and Maggie Gyllenhaal. It's far from a perfect film, but the premise that two people can mature and grow while involved in a full-on BDSM relationship is a unique one, and the film makes some truly fascinating observations on human sexuality.

Sigh. I used to have one of those. A nice one, too. But as any human being with a body part that hangs off the body in a sort of cantilevered fashion will eventually find out, gravity is not your friend.

I need a cigarette.

I'm from Detroit. Everything I know about milk I learned from Milky, the Twin Pines Magic Clown on WXYZ. Sadly, our milk was always store-bought as I could never convince my mother to try the "worry-free home delivery" from Twin Pines Dairy.

Turkey Hash. Specifically, Julia Child's Turkey Hash from The Way to Cook Everything. I've never gotten mine to crust over the way she says it will, but add a couple of fried or poached eggs on the top and you will be more popular than you can dream.

No food snobbery allowed. No looking down your nose at the fat-salt-sweet combo platters that have been handed down from 1950's suburban America to the present.

It's rare that an object can make you smile and give your life a little blast of joy, but this teapot does that for me. Kudos to Droog on a lovely piece of design.

Check out the George C. Scott, Anne Bancroft, & co. film Hindenburg, which used models for the zeppelin (and some of the models were over 30 feet long).

Thank you. I read The Machine Stops over 40 years ago and the story has stayed with me all that time. With the advent of email in the 1990's I wanted to read it again, but could not remember the name of the story or the author; and I asked many people who were deeply into science fiction, some of whom said it sounded…

My favorite voyage was Queen Mary 2's inaugural Southampton/New York voyage in 2004 (the maiden voyage took the ship to Florida in January 2004, this trip was a few month after).

I hate the color blocking of Bentley's two-tone scheme, and have always believed it to be distracting. At this point I think the car looks better in side- and rear-view because they help me not to see the two tone effect.

sorry, wrong thread

Watching the first fifteen minutes of Part 1 of this season's two-part finale had me nearly in tears, as I felt I was watching Mr. Capaldi turn into one of the greatest Doctors right in front of my eyes. I've been a fan since he started, but in that whole sequence (no spoilers here!) he was brilliant, cruel,…

It may be the only automobile currently in production for which I can truly say that I have lust in my heart.

Otis Spunkmeyer Air (could not make that name up) flew two DC-3s on excursion flights around the SF Bay Area, between roughly 1990 and 1999. Never got around to taking one, and now of course it's too late....

How about some randomly placed 4K screens, all around the ship, with live pictures of the pretty boy and girl models they use in the ads rather than the typical Royal Caribbean schlumpf you meet standing in the buffet line carrying a pound of potato salad and a diet Coke?

Yesyesyesyes. Justin's PB Cups are what Reese's PB Cups want to be when they grow up. And Justin's Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup is a religious experience.
