I worked for WS one year when my life tanked and I had to go back to working retail. I love cooking, and was happy to be working in a field I knew. I was utterly astonished that people bought crap like this! With all of the good, solid cookware that they carried, why spend good cash on this garbage? And boy, did it…

Are they licking the crumb tray?

I'd say this is our winner. Gluten isn't spread by contact.

There’s an idea I’ve always remembered from an Isaac Asimov story about time travelers. One especially prissy & neurotic character from the far future handled all his food through force fields, as he was absolutely disgusted by the idea of his food actually touching matter.

At first I thought he was going to fire it up inside...

I’m not sure if anyone will come back to this post, but the $17 drone was apparently a scam. The shipper never shipped the item, and the tracking numbers were bogus. There are hundreds of complaints against the company, bestgoods2u. I’m curious if anyone ever got their drone.

Here in California, in a Mexican restaurant I’d assume they meant tortilla chips & salsa. Guacamole is is its own expense animal, asked for by name. I’ve never heard of queso as a restaurant dip. Is it some sort of Velveeta Midwestern unholiness, or some actual melted Mexican cheese?

Hey, I've had rosary chicken! Isn't rosary that long, grassy stuff the put on potatoes n stuff? It's good.

They are Napa kappa.

Earthsea original trilogy, or Left hand ofDarkness. The Dispossessed changed my life.

All I could think about the dolphin exist, was change the damn name. It’s like a burger place place saying, “Yeah, it’s beef, but around these parts we call it roast baby brains. We keep the name on the menu for cultural reasons.” Granted not being able to tell IHOP from a fish joint is dumb.

I saw this headline, then realized, “Oh wait, Kanye West is already married.”

Okay, I’m guessing a Bolt bus is an East Coast thing. Is not pulling over to be sure the passengers are safe & help block traffic—is that an East Coast thing too?

Check out https://nikonhacker.com/wiki/Main_Page. I keep meaning to hack mine for video. I've been reading that Magic Lantern themselves are looking to make a version for Nikon.

This chart is also useful when shooting video with your camera. Turning up the ISO when shooting in the dark can give a very noisy image that you might want for telling a specific story.

Dog attorney is apparently pulled from Shelock Hound, a fun series with several episodes by Miyazaki! That part is real.

How did you turn out normal?

Time for my yearly rant. It makes no goddman sense to allow in films that open wide in January! If they can't release in 2014, it's not a 2014 film! You can't ave a one week window from wide release to Oscar nomination. It sucks and destroys the work of everyone else throughout the year. Animation is able to do it, so…

But it's not in Butte County.

In the comic Ménage a 3, one of the main characters, Zii, tracks down a child troll and threatens to out him to his mom. Its a great strategy, and a great comic, if a little risqué.
