@LLisCool: But I've known everything about everything since I was a fetus!

@RosemaryF: Never mind. I apparently am on glue and misread your original post. Profound apologies!

@RosemaryF: From the Guardian:

@RosemaryF: Neither of the clips on this post have the part where she says 'have' or 'had'. All the news coverage I can find quote her as saying "had." If I'm proven wrong by an actual clip or transcript I will gladly stand corrected.

@RosemaryF: Well, I can't believe I'm going to defend her here, but I don't think I had heard the phrase 'blood diamonds' in 1997 either. I don't remember exactly when I became aware of the term, but 1997 was 13 years ago.

See, now, I thought the picture that accompanies this post was the one that appears on the Sephora blog and I'm thinking, "pretty sure he's had some work done there." Then I checked the Sephora site. My thinking hasn't changed.

@The Conductor: OK, I think it just came to me. -You all don't want none of this.- Or in other (saner) words, "none of you want any of this." But what is "this" we all don't want? The workout? Her Ass?

I think this perfectly illustrates one of the internet's shortcomings. Some individual somewhere found this obviously not genuine ad and re-posted it, probably without comment or context, and then it spread. And organizations who should know better, (I'm looking at you Salon, Atlantic etc) ran commentary on it…

@junkyardarts: I loved Jurassic Park. Just the right amount of implausible science and vivid scenes. One of the only books I've ever dreamed about while reading it. I woke up and thought there was someone standing in my room. AGH! Then realized, nope, IT'S A DINOSAUR. AGGGHHH!!!. Then I woke up for real.

2 Bostons 1 cup. :)

He just wants some cuddles! I'll put on my parka and mitts and give him cuddles anytime.

@SlappySquirrel: Try Away From Her. Pretty much that story exactly.

"Elderly dementia sufferer" is one of the kinder things I've ever heard said about her. Considering the many different potentially very unpleasant angles a biopic of Thatcher could take I'd have thought a depiction of dementia would be the least of her children's worries in terms of fairness and accuracy. I'm no fan…

@sarah.of.a.lesser.god (aka Mrs. BrutallyHonestHobbit): It's never too late! My dog will run to look out the window and bark her head off if you say "hippies."

I'm fascinated by the size of Josh Brolin's head. His noggin is HUGE.

Gasp! I had no idea all that had happened to the lovely Dean Winters. I'd have had to hunt down and kill that bacteria if it had done him any more damage.

I dunno, is that air-brushing or air blasting? Looks like there in a wind-tunnel. 100 mile an hour winds will smooth anybody's face out.

I'd button that button. Hard.

At an old job, where I was the closest thing they had to an IT person (i.e. I was the only one there under the age of 60), I came to work one day to find a post-it note stuck to my monitor saying "please put Google on my computer. Thanks. -Jim."

Well, I don't know about you but I never go to Home Depot. It's so dark in there you can't see your hand in front of your face and when you finally find the flashlights you discover that they're shelved next to the plumbing snakes. As for looking for knobs, well, they're all over the place.
