I believe the White Walkers are the only ones who can raise the dead. Although from season one, wasn’t there something about the dead reanimating south of the Wall?

I was wondering what the hell was happening with that story arc. Will it ever come out that Littlefinger killed Lysa? Will there be a marriage between Robin and Sansa? etc.

I’m currently using a 6-year-old-or-so Timbuk2, and it’s starting to look it’s age. For anyone who has a GORUCK, can you comment on whether or not the backpack is overbuilt for daily office use? I see a lot of references to tactical and military on their site. I’m not opposed to spending money on something that’s…

“Floppy failure”—I love that!

Ugh, I finally got a pull-up bar installed in a doorway. Haven’t gotten into the habit of using it whenever I enter/exit the room though.

I still remember the one or two years when I finally, inexplicably, could do pull ups. I still have the Presidential Fitness patches. (That must have been the same year I could climb the rope in gym class all the way to the ceiling. Do they even make kids do that anymore? That sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen.)

This reminds me of a compilation video I saw on YouTube of people (all kids I think) dangling from ski lifts. I don’t understand how they could have gotten into that situation unless they were fooling around on the seat. But who knows. The ski lift operators would go out with a rescue “blanket” that the skiers would…

I was never a fan of Dorne but do agree that it’s been barely shown in the show other than leafy palatial grounds. It did kind of bother me that Myrcella’s death seemed to get so little attention. Even Doran’s. I was really hoping he’d turn out to be this strategic genius as he’s portrayed in the books, but it’s like…

I’ve never heard of the “denaturing proteins” tip either. Whenever I get a poison ivy rash, I can get some relief from exposing the affected skin to very hot water or a hair dryer, so “overloading the pain/itch receptors” sounds familiar.

I’ve never seen Designated Survivor but I do remember when Mary McDonnell became president.

I’ve only flown Virgin America twice but thought they were good. FWIW, Alaska Airlines, which bought Virgin America, has been ranked among the best airlines in the U.S.

I barely know anything about Jesse Williams (other than that fans thought he should have been in the Hunger Games in the role of Finnick), but I did read a gossipy article once about how William’s so much hotter than his wife. So, yeah, it makes me sad that they’re getting divorced, if it might be because Williams is…

Whoa! I was trying to recall where I’d heard the name Talulah Riley before. Turns out I know of her because she played Mary Bennett in Pride and Prejudice (2005). I’d feel bad for any actress cast as Mary but obviously Riley does not look like Mary IRL.

If they were really that desperate to get four seats on a full flight, they should have kept increasing the amount of money they were willing to recompense volunteers. I could have sworn there’s some law where a passenger is entitled to $1,000 if they are bumped off an overbooked flight, but because there are always…

You haven’t seen Key & Peele’s take on Family Matters, have you?

Don’t forget Aunt Viv 1.0's dance moves! Years later, and this clip remains one of my favorites. Forgive the lower quality of this video. There are others on YouTube but they didn’t include the first part of the scene, where Viv quips to the two snooty women about how she’s been getting private instruction from an…

Will they elevate me out of the greys? Just kidding, sort of. I’ll be going to work but plan on going to the rally in Washington Square right after. Maybe I’ll see some of you there.

Paul Ryan’s is as bad.

I know, right? It’d be deserved in this case too.

Apparently that was the color of the women’s suffragette movement. According to one article I read.
