"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

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.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

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?

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Crumpets have their own texture - I'm not sure what to compare them to.

Scones are a different beast. Much denser.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

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

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

That is a lot o' hottie and such a range too. If Alan Cumming and David Boreanaz end up doing that Whoopie/Swayze mergy thing I may spontaneously boreanaz.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I'm still not entirely sure what a chiffarobe

A chifferobe is half wardrobe, half bureau (or chest of drawers). Here's one:

NO LIE! I am thrilled at this prospect.

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.

Crumpets and english muffins are quite different.

Crumpets are made from a batter and cooked on a griddle, like pancakes (but in ring-molds) and are (at least sometimes) baking-powder raised.

English muffins are yeast-raised and baked in an oven. You over-knead the dough to get the big holes.

Both are best toasted with lots of butter. And now I want some of both.
