OMG that is amazing.

Note to self—whip up some porridge in the morning...

Me too—-with butter and a bit of milk (or half and half, if I've got that...)

A friend of mine in the Navy made a furkini for his fiance one Christmas (he was a parachute rigger by training, and had access to a heavy industrial sewing machine they used for making and repairing gear). It turned out awesome. (didn't see it actually ON her, but he brought it over to my shop to show me...)

He…

and I hate to say it—but I want his number!

THAT IS BRILLIANT.

something like this? (but with the furrrr):

DUEL???? Seriously???

Goddamn it, Universal...

I have seen this done!

My Mum (who's from Wales) told me that over there, the pints HAVE to be a full pint, no head, and my uncles would send one back if there was more than a scant bit of foam on top. As a result, I HATE drinking beer when I'm out because dammit—I WANT MY FULL PINT!

Just finished "The Searchers" which is a two-part tale of an actual Comanche abductee—Cynthia Ann Parker—whose story was the basis of the book and movie "The Searchers" with John Wayne. Second part of the book is about the writing of the novel and making of the film.

it's not gender exclusionary, it's open to all. But the focus of the programming is on items of interest to geek women—gender stuff, cosplay harassment issues, getting young women interested in STEM fields, women in gaming industry, etc. Several local tech businesses and colleges had info booths there.

I've been 3 of…

YUP!!! And doesn't take up near as much storage space as a Cuisinart!
