In my experience, most of the stoves I've had with a separate broiler were gas stoves. Electric stoves tend to have a combo oven/broiler and you just adjust the shelves to where you want them.
Can't you ever get your mind out of the hellmouth?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I use my broiler a lot because it's my preferred method for cooking meat. Flames + meat = yum.
Yesterday at the market I picked up lamb steak. They said it was a center slice of leg of lamb, but it was basically a steak and fairly cheap (like, $3). Anyway, I've usually gotten bigger (more expensive) lamb broils, but took a flyer on this.
It was great! Marinated it in Worcestshire, S&P and ran it under the broiler 5 mins per side (it was fairly thin cut). Then did it french style and tossed on a pat of butter. So tasty!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
That may explain my confusion. I'd always had an electric stove, and when I got a gas stove, I was a little scared of it. It's fire! In the house! It's gas, on fire, in the house! I didn't trust it.
And then there was the woman down the hall two summers ago who left the gas on and it seeped all through the building and caused a panic and an evacuation, and my helicopter medevac experience. Gah. Gas appliances do not make me very comfortable.

All is well that ends in pizza.
"I am rather blue today, plus my butt itches. Woe! Just pick me the fuck up already! You don't need to wipe your ass! Why must you torture me so?!" or, "I'm soooooo fucking bored. Christ. Where's that thing that was so amusing yesterday? You know. The thing. With the colors. You know what I mean! Just get it, okay?! Fuck you!"
This cracked me up. So very true.
It is true, of babies and fandom.
Also? Cats.

I was going to post the same thing.
Gas ranges = Broiler on bottom.
Electric = Storage on bottom.
There are exceptions, but yeah. exactly. What Sail said.

I'm getting my hair cut and colored right now! AIFG!
Well, to be completely honest, I'm sitting around waiting for the color to process; hence, the posting.
I am so psyched about this new cut.

Our wings are not tired.
Gas range = still can cook in hurricane. Ok, maybe more of factor here, but other places have power outage issues too.

My parents' stove was gas with the broiler inside.
What are the arguments for putting it one place or the other, I wonder?

Thrive to spite them
I went to Mom's and had dinner. That she actually made, because I'm sick. Chicken and yellow rice with peas. And salad. Now I have leftovers and she has chicken broth that she's going to make soup with.
Then we watched the US Open and yelled for Kim Clijsters to win and booed at Mary Pierce. Tomorrow is the Men's final and Mom and I will be at odds as she is a huge fan of Agassi and I'm not.
