These are not maggots. These are meal-worms. Beetle larvae. They eat grain, not rotting flesh. Believe it or not, they are delicious. They taste a bit like pork scratchings. That's pork-rinds for the Americans in the comments section. They are basically fried fat.
I cannot be the only person here jealous of coming home to that, right?
Cider is an integral part of Somerset culture. My husband is from the West Country and he appalls everyone by drinking only ale. This video sums up a great deal of the best bits of rural UK culture.
It depends on where you are when the bus hits you. They might just think it's for a Bible study. You could counteract the effect by covering the margins with Norse runes to drive straight past obsessive religious and directly into horror movie territory. Whoever hits you will imagine themselves cursed. Dressing…
You read the Vulgate too?! I was convinced that I was the only person on the planet - other than my brother. Noli timere. The world needs more literary geeks.
The Grapes of Wrath appearing on this list is good news on two levels. 1) People really are getting sick of republicans. 2) The writing is astonishingly beautiful. I have never read a more beautiful miscarriage.
This is more about the gif than the article (though the article was good!) - that extended pinky thing is actually a holdover from pre-fork English table manners. Peasants ate with all four fingers and their thumbs. Nobels ate with the fore and middle fingers, plus thumbs. It was considered refined and dainty to keep…
This reminds me of the 18th century woman who convinced everyone that she was giving birth to rabbits. Having said that, I must admit that I am impressed by her 'inner' strength.
I can't be the only one thinking of one of the earlier versions of Snow White, right? Carl Jung was right. Fairy-tale motifs surface in the strangest ways.
That is Isabella Rossellini dressed as a duck! You know, I think that there is a good chance that they (the GOP) were. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we all had magic vaginae?
When a woman named Lolita went looking for a pet she picked the sex-offender of the animal kingdom. Was his name Humbert Humbert by any chance?
I found (from my experience working at a Texas Sonic - where I was the only white server and got a lot of catty comments from other white girls for having a job #smalltownssuck) that race mattered less than wealth - and rich people NEVER tipped. Poor people knew what it was like and would sometimes match the price of…
My Husband: They'll understand it was because it was finger sperm...
My husband's reaction to the last shot: Ewww, NO, don't drink that!
Women were disciples. Mary, Martha, the women at the tomb. They weren't random. They were the followers of Christ and he treated them the same way that he treated the men. Remember when Christ was staying with Mary and Martha and Martha complained that Mary was spending the time at his feet, talking to (and learning…
Performing these surgeries is conforming to the will of God. We are to love one another, to treat each other with mercy and help ease one another's pain. I don't subscribe to the Pauline gender-normative doctrines. Christ himself accepted people as they were and tried to get others to accept them too. In this case 'as…
They are also wrong about bullying and homophobia being God's will. Blessed are the meek...
Hi,
I was wondering how you will tie the rise of the Disney Princess in to the rest of the course? I can see how the strict modes of behavior exhibited by the overly-groomed child-stars are influenced by the 'morality' of the films (therefore I can understand how the child actors - especially the female children- have…
I wonder if they talked about the Falkland Islands...
The white horse could also be death. Thats a fairly frequent symbol, especially according to Jungian psychology where a horse (of a different colour) can also serve as a stand-in for untapped female sexuality. I think her sexuality is pretty well-tapped, so I'm going with an artistic statement about death and the…
