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.

Swalow your soul, swallow your soul.

Hmm. Rachel Ray wouldn't really have anything to fear, would she?

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

She has a "psychic," cold reading people with the whole "I'm getting a sense of someone who's died. Does the letter 'G' mean anything to anybody?" bullshit.

Ugh. Girl needs to go back to just cooking really fast.

I love the Skeptics Guide gang's take on cold readings -- basically, why does nobody think it's suspicious that their loved ones come all the way back from the dead to speak with them, but only bother to tell the medium "So yeah, my name starts with the letter M. Can you put me through to someone who's name starts with the letter Q?"

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I could have used another day off.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

it was 64 degrees in my office this morning. Now it is up to 67. still not warm enough.

Do you work in my office? I have fled to the outdoors, in hopes that I can get some work done once my fingers thaw out enough to type.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

But I can't imagine saying something about euthanasia-as-convenience to a person who's just mentioned their sick pet.

Well, no. That's just dead wrong. I was just commenting on offhand-delivery people. Or possibly off hand-delivery people. Or off-hand delivery-people. Er.

So yeah, I got all the way down there and was told that they changed it to 1 and thought they'd called everybody. So I've got a couple of hours to kill in which I Must Be Productive. Kill me now.

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

It's an abomination against nature, that's what it is.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Also on the BBC site:

Camel's Milk Could Hit UK Shelves Soon -- which means I can hope to get that here, and maybe camel's milk cheese? I have hopes of it, because I can't have sheep or goat cheese with no reaction, but I'm hoping camelids are un-cow enough.

If anybody finds a US-source for camel or reindeer cheese, let me know, K?
