'Shells'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
I'm still not entirely sure what a chiffarobe is, though I remember asking my teacher about it when we were doing To Kill a Mockingbird in class. Maybe she didn't know either.
As far as I recall, it's pretty much what I'd call a wardrobe -- a freestanding thing to hang up clothes, with some drawers and shelves and stuff too.
For all that I can automatically translate bonnet intto hood, lift into elevator, and lorry into truck, somehow torch always = flamey stick in my head.
I think "public school" annoys me the most. I do know that spanner = wrench. Oh, are crumpets the same thing as English muffins?
I do know that spanner = wrench.
That took me a long time to figure out because my first introduction to the word came from Red Dwarf. I just assumed it was some kind of futuristic tool.
(Edited to remove unnecessarily redundant redundancy.)
ETA: On further reflection, I think I read the word in HHGttG first, made said assumption and then was amused when Red Dwarf had a tool called the same thing. Me=dense.
Oh, are crumpets the same thing as English muffins?
English muffins are sort of a pale imitation of a proper crumpet.
Crumpets don't really get as crisp as English Muffins. And they're riddled with little air pockety holes which absorbs scads of butter and jam.

So texture-wise, are they about halfway between an English Muffin and a scone, or are scones a whole different texture completely?
Crumpets have their own texture - I'm not sure what to compare them to.
Scones are a different beast. Much denser.
Angel star David Boreanaz will play a ghost writer—or, rather, a writer who's a ghost—opposite Alan Cumming in Suffering Man's Charity, an independent dark comedy that Cumming will also direct, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Boreanaz, who currently stars in Fox's Bones, will play a struggling writer who is accidentally killed by Cumming one evening. Cumming discovers the writer's novel and ends up taking credit for penning it. When it becomes a success, the writer comes back to haunt him.
Suffering Man's Charity also stars Anne Heche, Henry Thomas and Carrie Fisher. Also in the cast are Karen Black and Jane Lynch.
Wow.
Also, Witchblade feature films.

Not having read the script, I'd say they've got the casting backwards.
