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.
I brought my parents a care package from Egypt - I carried a large cake box of Egyptian pastries all the way from Cairo, including a foray to Picadilly Circus via the tube, to Waterstones Picadilly and Yo Sushi. And I also brought them a box of fresh dates stuffed with almonds and coated in EXCELLENT milk chocolate.
Best. Chocolates. Ever.
Crap, I think I've lost a gift card I got for Xmas. I was sure it was in my wallet, but it's not there now.

I don't know if it's fake, but she's been writing under that byline for a long time, and not always about vaginas.
At least according to [link] it's not. But I certainly took a double take at the headline/byline.
I'm surprised she managed to resist making a joke about it, since she does write a lot about sex. But I suppose if your last name is really Merkin, it gets unfunny pretty fast.
Oh, my god, this episode of The Tick has Ron Perlman in it.
