See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I had to go to Wikipedia to find out who Dwight Schrute is, and now... he could be.

Dwight is a pop culture and sci-fi buff who has expressed fanship of Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Smallville, The Apprentice, and Lost, as well as an apparent obsession with Battlestar Galactica. His all-time favorite film, out of the "over 240" he has seen, is The Crow. Dwight also hints at being afraid of androids taking over the world.

Except for The Apprentice and Lost, there's nothing here that couldn't reasonably apply to Emmett.

Dwight seems to have an admiration for TV and movie villains, such as Lex Luthor and Anakin Skywalker.

Dear God, Emmett really is Dwight.

Dwight firmly believes that the only thing that separates humans from animals is rules. Dwight's rigid adherence to rules irritates others at times, such as his immediate need to noisily shred documents and credit cards.

On the other hand, Emmett is quite proud of being a monkey boy and half dog, and generally casts a cold eye upon the entire concept of rules. And he'd never shred so sacred an object as a credit card. They're magic!

Verdict: Jury still out. According to Wikipedia, definitive analysis will be possible once we find out Emmett's attitude toward Count Chocula and women named Angela.

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

People who have made Nutty's no knead bread or similar--what are the advantages? Is the flavour better than other breads you have made?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I like this one.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I've never made other yeast bread, but I really like the sourness of the no-knead recipe.

I really hope Emmett is not actually Dwight Schrute.

I just painted my nails little-girl pink, in preparation for a manicure some time in the next week or so -- I have a gift cert, but I'm such a biter, it's embarassing to get a mani. So I'm going to try to grow them again.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Trying to figure out if G's Metro station has been re-opened so we can get his car out of the parking lot.(It got shut down this afternoon and I had to go pick G up at the previous station)

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

Agave bread is out of the oven. It smells nowhere near as nice as the honey version. The other changes I made were to substitute one cup of whole wheat flour and I used old-fashioned oats instead of the quick cook sort. Neither of those changes should have an impact on the smell, not like this.

Does anyone remember the scene in Max Headroom when Edison Carter wakes up in Theora Jones' bedroom completely covered in a thousand teddy bears of all shapes & sizes? I loved that scene.

Man I miss that show.

What does it say to me that I found the "final" Calvin & Hobbes cartoon much sadder than the Robot Chicken claymation?

You and me both, Matt. Actually, I thought the Robot Chicken C&H was hilarious. Seth is a dark, twisted effer, and I like that about him.

But the "final" C&H comic made me very, very sad. And I think it was a very pointed comment about "growing up."

But the Robot Chicken thing was funny. WRONG! but funny.

Best wishes to Tom & Allyson in their respective endeavors.

It's warm in my apartment. 76. I have all the windows open. It's lovely.

Everyone is commenting on the weather, tacking on a "it's March!" meaning March is synonymous with psychotic weather. Which is weird to me cause May was always the crazy weather month. Never got the lion/lamb thing until now.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Tastes as good as any homemade bread, though you can do with it what you please. Also, very little work comparatively. If you have a lot of time, see here for about 140 threads on the topic of this bread recipe: [link]

Agave bread, ita? Really?

I love C&H. But do I love it, love it with an urge to reread? not so much.
