I was gonna say! Hey, wonder if I’ll get paid for the last month of that congressional campaign back in 1987....

Oh, my Lord. Do you mean you’ve never read The Oldest Living Confederate Widow Tells All?

I made gravlax this week. It was delish!

I bought my then-boyfriend a sub to Details, but wound up commandeering the mag for Wild Palms. Still have the mini-series on VHS somewhere.

Just replace it in you mind with Charlie Pierce’s name for him: the zombie-eyed granny-starver.

I thought Olivia DeHaviland won this battle in 1937!

Ah, that’s cheating. Sweet corn is “milky.” When you make creamed corn, you “milk” the cobs to get the last milky deliciousness out of them.
