I take my drunkspiration from Elaine.

I don't know why anyone thinks she is a drunk driver. She looks like she has just been interrupted by the person in the backseat just before taking a sip of some refreshing Old Fashioned Sarsaparilla. Don't get between a thirsty woman and her Old Fashioned Sarsaparilla.

That's what giant buildings with your name on them are for.

Honestly, I wish I could give it to you, but I cook like my Irish grandmother and eyeball everything. What I do is follow traditional recipes and just substitute it with soy milk, almond milk and E-ergy egg re-placer. Just follow the recipe for icebox cake. For example, the pudding was a roux of flour, Earth Balance,…

While it's never much of a surprise when someone so close to 90 shuffles off this mortal coil, she is one of those few people that I just kind of sub-consciously expected would live forever. Sad news, indeed.

First time I saw her was Follies in Concert at Avery Fisher Hall. RIP.

I'll drink to that.

It makes me happy that one of her last public appearances was saying the eff word on the Today show. I love this broad RIP.

I'm not usually emotional when a famous person passes away, but this really got me and I shed a few tears. What a no bullshit woman she was, and completely ahead of her time! If you haven't seen her rendition of "I'm still here" from Sondhiem's Birthday special on PBS....I strongly recomend you view it. Here's to…

Let's all raise a vodka stinger in her memory.

"Rest in peace, Colleen Donaghy. You were 87 years young, 14 in demon years, and you went out of this world like you came into it: wearing a hat."

I agree that commercial alterna-milks are a big ripoff and not that good for you or the planet. Admit I haven't read too far downthread, but has anyone discussed the notion of making your OWN nut milks? It's so totally easy and cheap. OK, it's not gonna get your coffee lightened at the local Starbucks unless you BYO,…

Thank you :) It really is infuriating and upsetting. A friend of a friend who's active in politics has been pushing for better protections and once I'm healed up, I'm going to see how I can support the cause. This is nonsense that we're all struggling with something as basic as being able to stay home when we're sick…

YOU KNOW WHAT'S EVEN BETTER?

My girlfriend's car broke down one time when I had a shift at work later that day (she lived in Frederick, MD, and work was in northern Virginia — you can't get from one to the other without a car). I called in to work and told my GM, Jim, that I couldn't make it. Jim BEGGED me to find a way in, because he was already…

The point, however, is that it's not a "Subway" problem. It's a food service (and really any low-wage job) problem.

I meant more in a general sense, since while the response here has been sympathetic it'd be easier to rally a lot of the general public against policies like this by pointing out the danger to them than it would be to make it about her.

Uh, clearly, its her own damn fault for actually consuming a Flatizza...

Or, we can blame what's actually responsible: the culture and system that allowed this not just to happen, but to be commonplace. Check some of the other comments on this post — this shit happens ALL THE TIME. This isn't some isolated incident.

You know, if she was really so poor that losing her job because she got sick was really that big of a deal she just wouldn't have gotten sick. That's like, socioeconomical infectious diseases 101.
