@All Over But The Sharting: One of his top books and so much better than its derivative "The Road".

@Julian Vargas: They're really spry, and keep dodging my truck. Agility is genetic, right?

@Achiever: Don't worry about the mice. Watch out for their squirrel overlords.

@Landycakeboss: I holler "it's a cookbook!" a little too often at dinner parties. I suspect it's because my wife would let me name our dog "Stella!!!"

@vodkanaut: @JohnnyDrinky: @MaverickIsAirborne: This is why I consider myself the luckiest guy around. Absolutely excellent in-laws. Sorry to rub it in. But, hah!

@UweBollocks: Too expensive. Put them in Elizabeth, NJ.

@Bevraj of Choice: He's a handsome man. Ryanesque.

@Steve U: You lucky bastard. If only I hadn't put my mime version of Dr. Z's playoff pics on YouTube.

@MarkKelsosMigraine: Now you know how the Coen brothers feel about the Golden Globes. Golden Globes : heh, heh.

@inverts: Your punishment, you Jesuit, is that you have to read "Christianity: The First Three Thousand Years" by Diarmaid MacCulloch. Spoiler alert!: The prophet Micah kind of fucks up the Jesus birth narrative. The dick.

@Lionel Osbourne: He does seem to choke less than Chambers.

Anyone else notice the monkey face between the two trees in that purplish picture?

@All Over But The Sharting: Let's leave Taco Bell out of this.

@All Over But The Sharting: True story(second hand). My older sister dated this older Italian diplomat for a couple months. When he was in Papua New Guinea as a young man and was...delayed at one point with some locals, he had the opportunity to ask if they still ate humans. "The yellow meat, oh yes."

@UweBollocks: I bought the CD that the theme song to Friends was on, I don't know why. It didn't make the cut when I put everything on iTunes.

@EggoROYffle: It's all in fun... I'll be watching on Tuesday, unless it's drizzling.

@Armen Tamzarian:

@vodkanaut: I'm off to bed, courtesy of that last Bell's Expedition Stout. Have a great day tomorrow.

@vodkanaut: Roughly a cup of sugar and salt per gallon of water. Cut that in half if you're brining overnight.

@vodkanaut: I absolutely agree. I find a cooler to be easier than the sink - put the damn bird and brine solution in a hefty bag before it goes in whatever you're putting it in if you're not a great housekeeper. Also, be careful about oversalting - you'll end up with a bird that tastes like lunch meat.
