No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Oh, House is going to do something wonderfully awful. And if anyone thinks that's a spoiler, they don't know House.

People keep saying that Sue. And i understand what you mean. But seriously? It's all a mystery.

Seriously, I remember in the beginning having about 50 pages to read for class. And it was taking about 20 minutes to get through a page with having to look up every frickin word. But towards the end, I could almost read it as were normal English.

For some reason, Gawain and the Green Knight was totally incomprehensible to me. I gave up and got a modern translation.

At the grocery store the package of meatless chicken shish kabobs looked enticing, but previous experience with tofu convinces me that chicken-flavored marshmallows are not a dish I'll enjoy.

I bought TGI Friday's spinach dip, but no chips to eat with it.

Vegetable buying went well anyway.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I bought TGI Friday's spinach dip, but no chips to eat with it.

Oh, that goes good on crackers, bread or veggies just fine, too. Or in case of an emergency--eaten with a spoon.

Um...not that I would know about that or anything.

Also, duh, I could learn how to make miso soup, which I love and would totally eat.

1. Heat water

2. Add a Tablespoon or two of miso paste

3. Stir

I know it's not right, but I do it anyway.

I'm Lee and Jilli on this. Sometimes I do reword to avoid using it.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Ivana Milicevic (she played Sam Finn in BtVS s.6 ep.15 "As You Were") is the guest star for the A story on The Unit.

Had to laugh at Bob's sour comment about helicopters. I've heard several variations on that theme from a number of pilots and mechanics. Wonderful, fascinating, scary, horrible machines.

I really didn't expect them to go for the happy ending like that.

If you want to be hardcore, add a tablespoon of hon-dashi per cup water before stirring in the miso paste. (It vastly improves the taste.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

GC! A raise and a layoff in the same day...oh, that is bitter salve indeed. I wish her the best in her search.

Thanks, ita. Back at you with the search part.

ION, has the new Weird Al song/video been posted here yet? I know, I know, "Weird Al?" I thought that, too, and then I watched the video (a take-off on Ridin' Dirty called, wait for it, White and Nerdy). It's effin hysterical. Be on the lookout for the brief Seth Green appearance: [link]

Some lyrics:
I been browsin', inspectin' X-Men comics
You know I collect 'em
The pens in my pocket, I must protect them
My ergonomic keyboard never leaves me bored
Shoppin' online for deals on some writable media
I edit Wikipedia
I memorized Holy Grail really well
I can recite it right now and have you R-O-T-F-L-O-L
