Tepid Fuck has been one kicked around since my senior year of high school.

Man, I was really hoping "Department of Homeland Obscurity" would make an appearance on their list.

Yesssssssssss. On both Bones & Scotty. (Especially "Spaced"-era "Scotty". I don't know why, but Tim Bisley was totally my cuppa.)

I never wore one until high school, and I still gravitate toward either one-pieces or tankinis (but the cute kinds, like from Athleta or Title Nine), but that's mainly because my skin doesn't like to bust out its wee bit of melanin very often and I burn easily, so keeping more of me covered = less remembering to…

Wanting to see insides sprayed across a busy sidewalk is just verrrrryyyyy un-Dude. Calmer'n he is...

Oh, Puffy Paints, your reign was sparkly, crafty and far too short-lived. I blame Beanie Babies.

Our entire colorguard team my sophomore year of high school had that look on two different shirts we wore to various events, something that was also put together by one of the guard moms. I have one of them remaining in my closet still (ah, memories), and almost all the letters have fallen off in the 15+ years since.

God, he's like an '80s action film amalgamation of a terrorist - Russian, Muslim AND a boxer.

The Texas City explosion of a tanker carrying ammonium nitrate in the late '40s tossed one of the ship's 2-ton anchors more than a mile and a half away, and its other main 5-ton anchor was hurled 1/2 mile from the explosion. The power of these kind of explosions is insane.

Yes, because towns are almost never named after people (like, say, first postmasters of said towns), and even if they are, real people never have names that also happen to be cardinal directions.

That's it, I can never seem to remember the exact name. Everyone still calls them kolaches anyway around here, or they just point into the bakery cabinet at them and say "...and one of those..." when ordering.

They are AMAZING. I want one this instant. I may go hit up my sub-par chain kolache place down the road during my lunch break just to partially sate my craving.

Most notably, the Czech pastry "kolache" (pronounced koh-law-chee) is still served today in restaurants and rest stops from Columbus near Houston all the way up to West. It's a soft, sweet dough filled with some fruit, cheese, chocolate or some mixture of all of those. It's fantastic.

Honestly sounds like an industrial accident, but the local authorities are "treating it as a crime scene until they find proof to the contrary." How on earth they plan to uncover that proof, I do not know, but these kinds of plant fires happen on occasion (like the ExxonMobil refinery in Beaumont, TX that caught fire…

One of the friendliest small towns I've visited in my home state, and always a stop on any road trip northbound (any hour, any day) for kolaches & jerky, and on Labor Day weekend for WestFest. It's just incredibly tragic. :(

What, no green?

Yeah, the Jasmine, Mulan & Tiana ones are the only rings that catch my eye, and even they're a bit too extravagant for my taste. They rest are just waaaaayyy too much.

Whateva', more cupcakes for me. Seriously, my favorite bakery was a madhouse last weekend & they sold out of *everything* made that day more than 2 hours before closing. If even a few less folks wandered in on the handful of Saturdays a year where I make to that side of town to get my amazeballs key lime cupcakes then…

His way of explaining things is a good part of the reason I, the middle daughter of a 3-daughter family whose father had quit watching sports when he got angered by one too many strikes when she was a just a baby, ever started understanding football in the first place, and then went on to explore other sports, thus…

Minor, inconsequential #correction - Mark Wahlberg's new movie is actually titled "Pain & Gain", not "no pain, no gain" - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt198020… - just an FYI.
