Or the Irish, although I don't know what that would accomplish, as it's still a guys name. I just like the Irish version of the name. (It's "ME-hall", by the way).

The purpose of the Daily Mail is to serve as a litmus test (god I hope I spelled that right) for whether a person is worth interacting with. If they read the Daily Mail, then they aren't. Acutally engaging with the content misses the point entirely.

Or maybe he's a secret Satanist, and is trying to bring down Christianity from the inside by doing a bad job on Jesus films.

They tampered in God's domain.

The pie doesn't make you want to kill yourself, want some pie?

Well, how else am I going to sell all these globes?

While I will certainly drink an Irish coffee if it is offered, my favorite hot Irish cocktail is a hot whiskey. I bet Ruth Negga has made one of those before too, because almost everyone has. You can't sneeze in the presence of my partner's mother without a hot whiskey appearing (because it's medical, you see.)

No idea. I know that towards the end of my reading, they were basically lazy complations of reader suggestions. The first ones at least had decent stories, if you could get past the skeeviness.

God, I read so much Xanth as a kid. For some reason the middle school library had like 30 of the books. As a girl, the weird attitude towards sea got more and more off putting as a got older, until I abandoned them.

Is he really? I mean, he's done candybar commercials, it's not really a step down.

Yeah, I've never seen the Patrick Stewart version either, and it could be interesting. Saw the BBC version in school, and I'm still a bit mystified that that was the version our teacher picked.

Better than Anthony Hopkins, who just went ahead and did blackface (but not too much blackface. It was like he tried to get a tan and it went horribly wrong). Because that was easier than finding a black guy, I guess.

I know one English guy who likes Trump. And some of my American family back home. No Americans where I live, though now that you mention it.

If it's any consolation, I hates that rabbit, too.

Colm Meany? I think he could pull off the look, but it's hard to imagine him playing evil very well.

I don't know what anything is anymore. Between growing older, and the fact I haven't lived in the US for the better part of a decade, I fall farther and farther behind. I didn't even know it was the super bowl on Sunday. I mean, I never watch it, but normally I'm aware I'm not watching it.

The nice thing about living abroad is none of my coworkers voted for Trump. Also, it's almost 5 here. I can head home and try to pretend this didn't happen. At least it motivated me to make my immigration appointment to renew my visa.

Still a first, though. And really, Andrew Jackson committed actual genocide during his term, so the bar for worst president is hopefully set too low for Trump to go under it.

EXTREMMMMME FOREIGN POLICY!

Just think, we're about to see the first time a sitting president goes on trial for fraud!
