This happened to me for the first time a couple of months ago. We ordered in lunch from a local place that sells what they call “Great Balls of Fire” which is is basically a habenero fritter. It comes with a dipping sauce that is more habeneros pureed in vinegar.

To be honest, I don’t think they’re really “focusing” on it since nothing has ever been said out loud and it doesn’t seem to be affecting anyone’s actual behavior or decisions. It was just a couple of little moments of emotion for Tyrion.  We’ll see if something comes of it in the future, but I hope to the gods it…

And just to be clear, he was in his 20's at the time. He’s only a few years younger than me so it’s not like he was kid or anything.  

Since when does not having a shot with someone mean that you can’t develop feelings for them?  He KNOWS he doesn’t have a shot, which is why he hasn’t done anything about it but he can still be sad that she chose someone else.

Only his bones are there.  

There was a scene explicitly showing the battle planning. There were countless scenes of weapon-making and weapon-distributing and people scurrying around like mad preparing for a battle.

There wasn’t time for him to reassure her about it, though.

One time when I was in my mid-30's I was driving down the road and noticed a gorgeous young man mowing a lawn. He was tall, shirtless, tan and had long blond hair. I’m thinking, “Hello hotstuff.” And then I got closer and realized he was my nephew.

I’ve read people interpreting that as jealousy - that Tryrion himself has the hots for Dany so seeing her with Jon bothers her.

On the Good Eats episode dedicated to lobster, Alton Brown makes the point that lobsters are not that far away from roaches on the tree of life. He wasn’t trying to gross people out - he was trying to get his audience to feel better about boiling them alive. 

As I’ve already stated several times in this comment thread, I grew up in New Orleans and I never ate a crawfish like that. I have no idea why, but it’s not something that my parents did. It just seemed like everyone I knew did shrimp boils instead.

I work in Portland. Despite that (or maybe because (I’ve always thought Stumptown coffee was overrated)) our office coffee is terrible. So I have a french press and I order French Market Coffee & Chicory from Amazon and that’s what I drink at work.

True story: I grew up in NOLA and when I was about 19ish we went to Florida for a few days. We were leaving a bar and I wasn’t finished with my drink so I asked for a go cup. The bartender was like, “Oh, you must be from New Orleans. Yeah, we don’t do that here.” Such a bummer.

Every freaking thing you get in New Orleans is better than that same thing anywhere else. There are amazing po-boy’s and delicious fish and a whole Vietnamese-Cajun-Creole fusion thing happening.

Which one? Veggie Magic or one of the others?

My first memory of seeing Anthony Bourdain on TV was the time he was fed iguana tacos in Mexico.  For whatever reason, the man who made the tacos killed his pet iguana so he’d have something to feed the teevee dude. 

Seems like #4 weakens your argument in #3.

It always amazes me what people will admit to on the internet. 

It would never occur to me to offer the last bite of my food to other people at the table.  Not even my SO.  Is that a normal thing that happens and I’ve somehow managed to miss it up to now?
