@anniewaits1: Adorable!

@mrs.gideon: Me too! It's great, though, for times when you're kind of stuck with nothing to do and can't entertain yourself in normal ways. Like, I had a root canal recently, and world capitals really helped pass the time.

@littleliongirl: Keep on! Africa is very satisfying. Then you can move on to the capitals!

There was a contestant on Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me (The NPR News Quiz!) recently whose name was Patience Waits. Panel had fun with that one.

@brightpeonies: The funny thing is, even if he went by "Michael", it wouldn't help him much.

@BeetsGoOn: I wonder if it's really "Orestes" pronounced with a short e?

@magnets: If you can, send your friend a card— a real one, in the mail. Even if you aren't close, and even if it doesn't say much, it will be appreciated.

@LaurieStrodeTheBoatAshore: Orange roughy is really buttery and mild.

@Alohamaid: Oo, but doesn't it stink to high heaven? I have some valerian capsules for insomnia, but they just smell so gross that I'm loath to take them.

@lambsy: Good for you! It always makes me feel kind of happy to see people eating dinner alone, especially women. Because it's like, it's okay. You're just out, living your life and having a meal; you don't need backup!

@PintoBeans: Vintage 3-speed!

@LionAndUnicorn: I feel that way about jewelery/makeup shows on the shopping channels. At least with cooking shows, you could potentially learn something useful. I, on the other hand, only pick up questionable facts about tanzanite and nano-collagen.

God, today sucked ass. Now I'm going to try to wash it away with a mindless movie on my laptop. 2012 or Hot Tub Time Machine? I haven't seen either, and John Cusack is in both..... so it may be a tossup?

@amake616: Same here (plus the "sugar tits" bit— yay misogyny!). This just confirms the righteousness of my boycott, really. What a total and utter hateful, ignorant dick.

That guy at the end of the first clip: "I think it's, like, optional"? Totally channeling Brian Krakow.

@mocena: Oh my god, Jayne and River getting married? I would totally watch that show!

@onesong: Ahh, you're making me miss Fine Lines!! :-(

@KiddyKat: Seriously. That cat is all, "I'm teaching you to catch a fish, bro."

It ain’t about right, it’s about money. Now you think Ronald McDonald go down to that basement and say "Hey Mr. Nugget, you da bomb, we sellin’ chicken faster than you can tear the bone out, so I’m gonna write my clowney-ass name on this fat-ass check for you?"

Leading to the next bitter dessert showdown: cake vs. yeast-raised.
