Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next? Zoe: Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up. Wash: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.

Is the circular saw the one the villains use when they tie the hero to a moving belt that moves ceaselessly toward the big, round, whirring blade?

Table saw, I believe. They had a circular saw as the murder weapon recently on L&O:CI--they figured out where it came from when they realized that the newly installed tabletop in the condo lobby had been cut at the same angle as the cuts on the body.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

It seems to me that bridge officials don't have much right to be skeeved in any official capacity, given the fact that their big suicide-magnet monument is open to the public 24/7 and therefore fair game for people to photograph or film any visible part of without copyright worries. The issue is obtaining permission to film from national park officials under false pretenses, and the filmmaker can always claim that he altered the theme of his film after seeing what was on all the footage.

Table saw, I believe.

Ah, thanks.

And... ew.

Speaking of L&O, I watched SVU for the first time in a long time last night. It bugged me that they were so slow in figuring out the obvious. I mean, maybe not the genesis of the thing, but, come on. I don't think I've seen it quite that laboriously, "Well, maybe it's this. No. Then it must be this. No. Huh, well then it must be..." But I don't usually watch it, so I don't really guess I'm entitled to expectations.

The phrasing here [from a sports column on Salon] made me laugh:

Instead, Manning spent all day dumping off screens and checkdown passes, which the Patriots' speedy linebackers gobbled up like things that get gobbled up by speedy linebackers.

Not something I'm accustomed to seeing outside of, well, here.

LA Zoo now has a baby pangolin. Which I'd never heard of until just now. Cool looking critter, and cool story of how it got here.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

DX, what exactly does a saws-all do?

It's an oversized version of a jig saw/sabre saw, with a long blade, also called a reciprocating saw. It's great for demolition and remodeling work, like for cutting window-sized holes in walls, and other rough cutting.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

All of my favorite tools are kitchen gadgets.

Can you kill anyone with a zester?

It might be kind of messy.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Can you kill anyone with a zester?

If you got them to stay still long enough, I don't see why not.

The most equivalent kitchen utensil to a sawzall is an electric carving knife.
