So my dad’s a blond, my mom’s Thai (read: jet ink black hair) and somehow I end up being ginger. Wouldn’t surprise me at all if my biological father turned out to be the local dairy milk truck driver. (Because we lived around a bunch of dairy farmers.)

Peanut Butter? He looks more like Cookies & Cream than Peanut Butter. (And why is Time showing a vine of a black Corgi? It’s like Jezebel’s puppy strategy is rubbing off on them.)

Just one question: what kid actually reads comics anymore? I thought by age 8, they’d all be up to date on the latest goings on with the Hunger Games or that new Disney Descendants show.

And I’m going to have to hose down some Royals fans shortly. Slow your roll, fans.

LAN parties are great. Haven’t been to one in a few years, so I envy you. It’s sounding like Windows 10 might actually be a tad bit better than Windows 8, which maybe enough to recommend that my mother upgrade her computer from 7.

The coolest part to me is the fact that passing a major allows your Sims to advance in their career prior to actually entering the workforce. If only real colleges gave you so many irl skills!

It’s very entertaining, but not as entertaining as the Disney speed run block they had just before the ghost n’ goblin block. Maui Mallard in Cold Shadow maybe the worst Disney game I have ever seen, and the speed run of it was hilarious.

So here’s my question: did ESPN fire Cowherd because of his comments about Dominicans playing baseball or because he mentioned Bill Simmons just before that?

It’s funny you mention that. Missouri desperately wanted to join the Big 10 and many fans and people working at Missouri up to some curators preferred the Big 10 to the SEC because the Big 10 seemed like a better fit and mold to Missouri than the SEC. It saw itself as a Midwestern university and not a Southern…

Wow, and here I thought last Friday was Colin’s last day at ESPN.

More like spent three to four years in Portland hosting a local talk radio show before being plucked out of nowhere to go to ESPN. But yeah, you’re right. He’s more of a Seattle/Washington/LA guy than an Oregon guy.

Totally agree. Unless the nuclear blast would destroy the Cascade mountains, Portland would still rarely get winter snows. I think they selected Portland because White Wolf would send a cease and desist letter if they tried to set it in Seattle.

I wish I could star you more about rhubarb. Here in Oregon, they combine it with Strawberry and put it in a pie. Even a bear wouldn’t eat strawberry-rhubarb pie!

Indeed. Dried squid to the Japanese (and Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai, and possibly Korea) is to them what beef jerky is to us. Except they actually cook with dried squid where as we wouldn’t cook with beef jerky even if Alton Brown showed us in person.

What a Shakespearean end to quite a tragic tale. Now comes the epilogue, where Bobby Brown and the rest of the Houston clan fight, bicker, and air in public the blame of whose fault it was for Ms. Brown’s death and who gets ownership of her financial remains, which maybe substantial or insignificant.

Actually does pretty good on the hamburger front, but I really don’t use it because, let’s face it: it’s the grease that makes hamburgers actually taste good. No one wants a de-juiced hamburger.

I like your choice in potent potables based on your glassware selection.

I have that. I’ve tried to use it to slice boiled eggs to mixed success.

Pretty sure Lifehacker had an article about using a cleaned out soda bottle to separate eggs.

Can’t quite decide if this is better or worse than the classic Dogs Playing Poker artwork. Wow.
