Welcome Elllie! You fared better in the name game than Penn Jillette's new Daughter, Moxie CrimeFighter Jillette. [link]
I do kind of like Moxie...
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

There ought to be a law...
Hee. I've heard worse. At least it made me laugh.
CRIMEFIGHTER???? I'd sue.
At least it's only the middle name. (Though "Moxie Jillette" is pretty bad on its own. It makes her sound like a razor blade.)
I do have an aunt whose first name is Gilette. And her maiden name was easily abbreviated to Mac ... well, she got off lucky, considering.
So, Ebert and Whasisname have nothing but good things to say about Batman Begins. Can't wait. Also gave high praise to Michelle Tractenberg's new movie.
Congratulations to Stephanie and Welcome to Ellie!
I am NOT a Hayden Christensen fan. But this picture of him is definitely GAH worthy.
Those of us who don't stop by on Saturdays say --
Belated Happy Birthday, Dana!
Not quite as fun as PandaCam:
The University of Wisconsin has a webcam (and live streaming video) trained on a flower. But not just any flower -- a titan arum, or corpse flower, the stinkiest flower on earth (and the largest). It's expected to flower this week.
And since these plants flower only rarely (not even annually), this is a big enough deal to have a webcam on it, apparently.
This page has a link to the webcam, for anyone interested in up-to-the-minute corpse flower action: [link]
What's really interesting on that page is the chart showing how much the plant has grown since the bud appeared in April -- anywhere from 2 to 6 inches per DAY. Wild.
