In case you Clooney worshippers needed more reason: George Clooney Gives Up Oscar Gift Bag For Charity

Considering what day tomorrow is, my "look up my name in COMM" search was particularly fruitful:

Kathy A: Is Irish Lasagna made with pesto sauce instead of tomato?

DavidS: It's made with ground leprechaun.

Gus: Here we go. Now there will be three days on the best brand of leprechaun grinder. (Braun, by the way, is my pick.)

msbelle: leprechauns are too bitter, but gnomes mmmmm.

David S: If you poach the leprechaun first, it leeches much of the bitterness out.

amych: Piffle. Braun and Krups are fine for grinding coffee and whole spices, but for leprechaun, nothing beats the KitchenAid rainbowgrinding attachment.

Unless you're gonna be one of those insufferable purist types who insists on nothing but a hand-cranked mythological-creature mill.

David S: I had one of those until I made a salsa with a chupacabra. Gummed up the works.

Gus: Oh, I mean, the Krups leprechaun grinder has is its nicer points. It is really more of a chopper, though. Your hardy back-country leprechauns are going to need a good burr grinder, to get the texture right. IMHO

David S: Again, poaching or braising takes care of this issue. Though also, I prefer a coarsely ground leprechaun. The mouthfeel is better.

Miracleman: Feh on all of you and your newfangled gimcrackery for grinding leprechauns.

A machete and an eight-pound maul.

More fun, better exercise and I like the way you get the "They're after me Lucky Chaaaiiiee-- "*THWACK*!!

• sigh* I love the holidays.

David S: Sure if you want chicken fried leprechaun, that's fine. But what about if you'd like a cornish pasty filled with tasty hot-spiced 'chaun?

Mirackeman: Then you just need a lighter touch with the maul.

It's an art and a science, my friend.

ita: No one likes to crack the bones open and suck out 'chaun marrow?

David S: Raised by diplomats and scientists, but she's still a country girl at heart.

Beverly: Only if we get to use the silver 'chaun crackers and marrow spoons.

Jilli VoiceOfReason: Do you know how hard a set of those is to find? Even eBay doesn't have them. It's very sad.

Personally, I'm more for slicing off the tops of their skulls and eating the brains. mmmm, 'chaun brains.

Gus: But what about if you'd like a cornish pasty filled with tasty hot-spiced 'chaun?

Well, then you have to go with shredded. Now, your 'chaun shredders from KitchenAide ... I'll go the mat on that one. None better.

Kathy A: "There's only one way to cook a brace of 'chauns!"

[Later, while 'chaun stew is cooking over the open fire]

"What I wouldn't give for a few good taters...the only thing to eat with 'chaun stew."

ita: What's taters?

Aimée: PO-TAY-TOES!

ita: Well, I do appreciate a good raw and wriggling leprechaun, don't get me wrong.

Raquel: The rock and pool is nice and cool, so nice for feet! I only wan' (whack) to catch a 'chaun (whack), so juicy sweet! (whack whack)

Steph L.: I eat my leprechauns raw. The way the REAL Irish folk do.

Ginger: Ah, St. Patrick's Day with the Buffistas.

I'm having corned beef and cabbage. If I'd wanted leprechaun, I would have had to put it in the oven earlier. I think long slow baking is the trick.

(edited because I should be sober enough to spell leprechaun)

I got no BRQG love either, Plei.

You were burning up my screen with the funny.

Oh, that is just redonkulous. He is such a celebrity Mary Sue.

I think shrift programmed it to know it's me looking so I can't find me, just to screw with my self-worth.

The only question is "why?"

Tim Gunn interview at the Advocate.

He is such a celebrity Mary Sue.

See, I can keep my perspective about him. His whole "sometimes playing mean pranks" and "chicks can't satisfy me like my boyz" thing keeps him from being redonkulously perfect in my eyes. Which means I can swoon with impunity. Inswoonity.

I heart Tim Gunn. That goddamn Daniel Franco!

I want Tim Gunn to run my life. I think he'd be very good at it.

I got stuck in a loop of Kristens. "Friends don't let friends snark poorly."

I take that as a sign I really should be doing work.
