Startled baby elephant reminds me of startled baby giraffe. D'aw!

Well played, theladybrain! Here's a Furby cake for you (and your crushed childhood dreams).

You mean there wasn't a host of wingèd angels present? Not even one tiny angel baby in a corner somewhere? I guess I'll go ahead and cancel mine then. I WAS PROMISED A CELESTIAL CHOIR.

Did you get that fact from a paper with the eighth highest circulation in the whole wide world?

Any room in there for some Dijon ketchup?

For me it was Shakespeare. No one does cunt wordplay like the Bard. Love.

Yes, immediately. "Look at this stuff, isn't it neat?"

You ain't neva lied. Why settle for a bloke - beard, bible, bad breath - when you can have a babe with a bob cut and a magnificent bosom?

Keeping the COTD cake tradition alive...way to go, KateONineTails!

Thanks for that; I'll have to give Chrome another try. Please have a behbeh sloth, for old time's sake. ;)

Which browser are you using, perchance? BabyJane mentioned that the mods have an "All" button, but if there's some way for us all to have one...spread the word, Vacra!!

The booty break is broken? Bah!

They'd only let her eat with a Little Dipper, not a Big one.

In an odd counterpoint to Liz Smith's faux pas, the Wall Street Journal is currently reporting that Nora Ephron is "gravely ill." Perhaps they got a euphemistic call from Ephron's son as well, and decided to err on the side of caution?

Thanks very much Geologyst, you're a diamond.

Thank you for this. Sincerely.

NVM. Lost my nerve. Carry on.

Fascinating. I wonder if it would taste like the best fucking thing you'd ever had—or just ashes. There was a prisoner not very long ago who only wanted a vegetarian pizza, to be given to a homeless person. I think they denied his request, but local shelters were flooded with pizzas shortly thereafter. Cue teary…

No judgement here! EVERYone would lose horribly against him, but at least you'd be laughing the entire time, right?

My very first thought was: "Get well soon, Stephen, you've sixteen more series of QI to host." I like the idea of Lord Fry Airport, but not yet—not for many many many years to come.
