Looks like something out of the Lord of the Ring movies. Very pretty.

There’s an episode of Good Eats that extols the virtues of using them (and how to make aluminum versions if you can’t hawk them from your grandmother). It’s probably available on iTunes or Netflix.

So kawaii. So pretty.

It looks like something from a DIY circumcision kit.

I thought it was French for “small penis.”

Very true, and yet ESPN tried to keep Cowherd because they thought he could control him and perhaps they thought he was the most visible head of the ESPN Radio ship.

Wow, he’s really burning every bridge he’s coming to as he leaves ESPN after today (24 July) for Fox.

Now I get why my mother would always set the AC to exactly to 77ºF. Also, Air Conditioning vents are often placed directly over work spaces or cubicles. For example there’s a vent centered where she would wash the dishes, so it always felt like ice was hitting her. It’s not much better at work where the vents would be…

I live in Oregon, and it’s not the green beans that making Oregonians fat. It’s the mac and cheese, strawberry-rhubarb pie, and marionberry pie.

Pretty sure that was the idea behind the actual game, Fort Meow. There maybe a moat option.

You’re terrible.

I grew up on a farm. No way am I playing a game that might induce horrible flashbacks. Like the times I had to help artificially inseminate a cow.

I am so glad I keep rejecting those AAAS membership pleas they keep sending me because I’m an AMS member. (American Meteorological Society) The real problem is that scientific society magazines are developed by people who tend to a) either have quite a lot about the science their society specializes in and little…

A lot of good advice in this thread. I’m going to take a different tact and say, if you feel like you have to abandon your quest for a Ph.D., just remember there’s nothing wrong with that Master’s degree you’ve earned. It may take being a bit unconventional in your career path, but you can be just as successful with…

There was a period of time in the 1990’s when it seems like about 1 out of every 4 porn DVD that came from Europe was set in Ibiza or tried to look Ibiza-ish (the other places were a white mansion somewhere in France, and some undisclosed dorm room in Ukraine or Russia). American porn had a similar thing with having…

It seems that this might be the best corporate fit for Mr. Simmons, at a place that provides a lot more freedom of speech precisely because it primarily uses subscriptions and pay-per-view sports events to make a profit.

I always snicker at the concept of Racoon Police. They probably have a private security counterpart named Foxes & Chicken Coops, LTD.

That bear had class.

Is this the same bear that broke into a pie restaurant in Colorado and ate everything but a strawberry-rhubarb pie?

Sadly, there’s no way Waffle House will trek across the Mason-Dixon line, which somehow they forgot when they put one in St. Joseph, Missouri. Maybe if Tim Horton would trek across Minnesota?
