Microwaved baked potatoes seem to me more chunky and less likely to disintegrate into cloud-like numminess. That hour you wait for the oven-baked potato is an hour well spent.
Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

You know, I'm realizing that my notion of deep-frying seems to require breading. In fact, I'm having trouble envisioning deep-frying without breading. Well, apart from french fries.
Oh, oh, oh! But before I left for the wedding, I finished my math exhibition guide and gave my presentation on using writing to teach math, and I got a 35 out of 35 on the report and presentation! Mind you, he's a pretty enthusiastic teacher, but I don't think everybody got a 35.

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

hayden: you're right, but it's like aspirin. By the time I put it in the oven, I want the headache gone now. And by the time my headache actually goes away, I've already eaten a full box of Cheezits and no longer need it.
Kind of mixed my analogies there, didn't I? Sorry, I'm only half-awake and have been since Tuesday. On the other hand... ooh, pretty nail polish!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
What is the title of the Garbage song with the lyrics "I would die for you.... I'd do time for you"?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I dunno Hayden, I tend to nuke for 10 min, then bake for 20 or so and they come out great, and it takes less than an hour so I'm happy. But I like my potato skins crispy and the insides creamy as butter (which is spread liberally upon them of course).

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You people are killing me. It'll be about three weeks before mine's done.

Art Crawl!!!
It's convenient to have the microwave in the living room anyway -- if you want popcorn while watching tv - it's right there.
Apparently, Ashton Kutcher doesn't enjoy being pranked any more than Michael Vartan did.

What can I say? I'm a purist. I do spray 'em with olive oil when wrapping them in aluminum foil to crisp up the skins, but that's about it. Cooking meals usually takes me about an hour, anyway.
