@Island of Misfit Toys: I thought it derived from the writings of St. Augustine.

I'm very mixed about the thesis behind this piece. It seems to me that the lack of women in positions of authority could be a factor in pedophilia running so rampant and unchecked in the Catholic church , but so could the requirement of celibacy, or the dogmatic underpinnings of the church. I would be interested to…

I had a bluegrass band. The first song was "Ain't She Sweet."

My three lil sweetpea dachshunds are sunbathing next to me and providing my very own dog show for one. Loves me some pupples.

I think she makes it extremely hard to feel sorry for her — like the Carrie Ann Peniche person on Celebrity Rehab, it seems (from admittedly a far remove) that she suffers from more than mere substance abuse. Whether it is a borderline personality disorder or just garden variety assholery, it is unpleasant and not…

She looks like the female version of the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. I can imagine a giant version stomping down Fifth Avenue.

Are you kidding me? Cheesecake is leading Apple? Oh the HUMANITY!

@wealhtheow: I passed on that option when I went in — they had 4 of the chocolate ones already made. I will have to go back and, um, investigate. Also, I got a free lime/coconut macaroon while I was paying for the cake — yum-to-the-izzo!

He should be made an honorary Jezebel. Good dad/good guy. In fact, there ought to be a "men we love" hall of fame or something on this site. A la the annual Esquire "Women we Love" issue.

I feel the cake options here simply do not live up to the panoply of cake deliciousness. Just last night I got a cake for a friend's bday at Alliance Bakery in Chicago. It was egg-shaped with beautiful fondant on the outside; inside was the best white cake I have ever had (a pinch of salt makes a huge difference)…

@notnickaustin: I struggled, hard, but a really good apple pie is...really insanely good.

The only addiction I'm sure of is that Dr. Drew is addicted to fame.

@alboy2: And of course he dunks the main dudes in both movies — one in a toilet bowl, one in the ocean.

@badasscat: except that *both* Jacob and the man in black are on Supernatural in roles that could be winks at the roles they play on Lost. If it were just one, I'd be down with coincidence. Two, I start to see something going on.

He lost me at "Camille Paglia."

@netfe: I have to think the writers of one of the shows is winking at us. I'm gonna go with the writers at Supernatural for said winkage.

@SandyEggRoll: HA!

@Bjork for President!: I agree. And I love your name — Bjork would make a great president!

I love the trash talking! Pumpkin is the flavor sensation that's sweeping the nation. Boston Cream is just some regional glop. Shazaaam!

I was watching a dvr'd "Supernatural" last night and realized the actor who plays Jacob on Lost is Lucifer on that show, and the actor who plays the previous man in black plays Death on that show. I pretty much said "sonofabitch" to that one. Coincidence?
