Evangelion wiped out all of society except for two damaged teens who hate each other.  That’s pretty close and every bit as traumatizing.

How is Jonathan Coulton not the first name on this list? He’s practically the godfather of nerd-centric lyrics. 

Aw nuts. This is like goodbye to TWO writers. I’m definitely going to miss reading Kristen.

FANCY KRISTEN LIVES!

TROGDORRRRRRRRRRRR!

We’ve read stories over the course of September (and this first week of October) about Mazda, Subaru, and now Nissan/Infiniti all tanking in sales. Would seem far more efficient to sum it up in a very Skyactiv-esque headline:

No love for Barkeeper’s Friend??? I seriously thought that would have been the second option, just because I’ve yet to find the scorched, cooked-on substance that it can’t remove from my stainless gear.

There’s more to stand mixers than baking, though. In fact, the only baked good I make regularly is Japanese cheesecakes, for which I can whip the meringue whilst I cook the custard.

Thai cuisine has used whole cilantro literally forever. I’ve always wondered why western chefs always had this issue with cilantro stems. Park-chi, as we call it, is often just eaten whole, as is. Do you think that western palates just find the stems too intense?

So, this sounds like the spiritual OPPOSITE of Azumanga Daoih? Would that be a fairly accurate comparison?

So, Kristen isn’t a fan of roadsters...but what about FANCY Kristen? Quite honestly, I would have to assume that she'd find this particular droptop too plebian for her tastes, but surely Fancy Kristen wouldn't turn her nose up at a first gen SL roadster, a BMW 507, or classic Porsche Speedster?
