I like Desmond in the top 3. Excellent. I would put him at #1, but you done good.

Maybe. I always just assumed that the reason they stopped making it was because it was discovered to have a cancer-causing ingredient or something. Because why else would you stop selling something so amazeballs?

I can't even imagine the chemicals there had to be in this, in order for it to automatically separate into 3 layers after you mixed it up.

She's been on a thyroid suppressant, methamizole, for about a year and a half, while they've tried to figure out if this is a permanent condition or not. Her symptoms went away very shortly after she started taking the medication. Her other symptoms were sleeplessness, jitters, and pounding heart, for which she was…

My teenage daughter is hyperthyroid, and your symptoms sound like hers. She is also very thin though, and has trouble gaining weight. That said, her aunt on her dad's side was hyperthyroid and is actually overweight, which is rare but not unheard of. Thyroid testing is a pretty simple blood test. I would see your GP;…

Thanks for the info! I always throw out grated for exactly the reason they mention — it's too hard to tell where the mold has gone.

That is pretty gross. I feel like I have a cast-iron stomach and I really push it with expiration dates / smell / mold, but I cannot imagine eating something (presumably with meat or dairy) that has been sitting out for longer than 4 to 6 hours (which I know is pushing it already).

But the whole rind of brie is mold anyway. So isn't it OK to eat if it doesn't taste bad?

I pretty much ignore expiration dates and go by smell, look, visible mold, etc. Interestingly, milk tends to sour BEFORE the damn date, which irks the shit out of me. If cheese has a couple of spots of mold, I will cut the mold off, particularly if it's still a pretty good-sized piece of cheese. Anything that starts…

I will. I imagine the advertising varies with the show. I was just so surprised that the main demo for AT was young boys since all the teenage girls I know are so into it, but I most definitely am not a neutral observer.

They are definitely not the demo for Happy Meals, but I am really shocked that the primary watchers of CN are boys 6-13. Many of their shows slant more adult, and my kid is definitely not immature for her age. There is a big fanbase for Adventure Time and other CN shows in high school, where, I would venture to guess,…

They didn't ask my 15-year-old daughter and all of her friends who watch this thing like it was the last show on TV. She dressed up as Marceline for Halloween.

Yeah, I'm with you on that. I haven't weathered temps as cold as you have on any regular basis, being in the tropical clime of Chicago, but after 18 years here I have to say I can't really tell the difference between really really cold and motherfucking cold.

I have a huge fear of this. I get my furnace serviced every two years like clockwork just when the thermostat says it's time for it to go on. I've had small parts replaced here and there, and get a clean bill of health for ol' Furnacey, my winter friend. I've lived here for 17 years and never had her go out on me,…

I'm in Chicago (suburbs) and I stupidly came to work in the city today. Commuter train was delayed almost 2 hours because the switches were frozen. (-15 with -37 windchill, then it actually got colder.) I am staying the fuck home tomorrow. The forecast is for above-zero temps, but windchill is going to be about the…

Oh yes. And still the hotness continues.

I thought he was smoking hot in The X Files and he is no less hot some - what? - 15+ years later in Sons of Anarchy.

OK he's "only" 61 but he is the first guy I thought of when I saw the headline:
Mitch Pileggi, born 1952.

Do I really have to spell this out for you people?
