I've been indulging *almost* whole hog in archetypal childhood PB&J's that I could only get at friend's houses, because my parents were health food nuts: Welch's Concord Grape Jelly (Natural), Organic peanut butter (I can't bring myself to get Jiffy; peanut butter must be stirred), and Wonder bread. Yes, Wonder bread.

I just didn't feel like Grimm was played out. They wasted so much time on the monster of the week plots instead of building the mythology etc. that 6 seasons kind of blew by. It just could have been more…

I could use more Grimm. I'm unhappy with that decision, although it never matured into Angel-like quality. Midnight, Texas was supposed to be a mid-season replacement; I feel like moving it to Summer shows they don't think much of it.

Cesare + Lucrezia. Hot as hell.

I actually missed his run on Blindspot because I only watched a few episodes before I gave it up.

Francois Arnaud? I'm there, for as long as it lasts.

I recall Wallace derided Merriam-Webster for being overly descriptivist?

One of Wallace's pet peeves was the misuse of "nauseous" to mean "nauseated." Now, I grew up using "nauseous," and pretty much everyone I know and have ever heard uses it to mean "feel like throwing up." But since reading that essay, I can no longer say "nauseous" without being acutely aware of misusing it; and I also…

There was a great article in the nytimes about a Maine law that lacked the Oxford comma in a list of exemptions for overtime pay; It caused the loss of a big lawsuit because of the ambiguity. I don't understand why lawyers, journalists, and many others [sic] shun the Oxford comma…

"restauranteur" ugh. On this same topic, it drives me crazy that Padma on Top Chef always mispronounces it this misspelled way with the extra N; you'd think someone would have corrected her!

Time for a Farscape rewatch…

Because blah blah blah opium epidemic blah blah crack down on marijuana! Gateway drug blah blah blah.

True; in the game, Hitler and the Fascists have to keep their true feelings hidden lest they be ousted by the majority liberals. The Fascists are just "forced" to enact crazy, liberty-killing laws; it's not their fault! But in the US, I think it's pretty much out there. No one is pretending.

Guys, this isn't really a survey. The answers probably go in the trash. It's a push pull that tells you what you should be thinking to get you riled up to give money.

He changed his name to Bob Vila.

Catstantinople.

Maybe he'll buy a lizard.

Reagan got shot and suffered extensive blood loss. What’s Trump’s excuse?

Tony Dow is a fellow Bergamasco Sheep Dog owner, so, yeah, he's in my in-group.

I admit I have a soft spot for Hosea because he's my local guy (Boulder). I actually went to a finale viewing party where he was the guest of honor at a restaurant, and I was shocked he won; the surprise made it very exciting for the crowd. He owns a decent restaurant here, but I didn't like the last 2 times I went,…
