Zoe: Preacher, don't the Bible have some pretty specific things to say about killing? Book: Quite specific. It is, however, somewhat fuzzier on the subject of kneecaps.

I think those are running on PBS again now too.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Big Brother: You know, on principle I don't have anything against Amber, but she seriously needs to butch up and stop crying all the freaking time. If for no other reason than it makes her look so bad on TV.

Thrive to spite them

I'm watching my recording of Pop Culture and the teams totally struck out on songs from 2006. It's really funny.

Totally, Jesse. Did she go off her meds or something?

I'm only half way through the ep, so I haven't seen the veto competition or anything - OOH, CURLING! - but that Jen chick is something else. She's like an obliviously evil genius Loki or something.

Also the romance of the dullards is both amusing and appalling.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Hey, have people been aware that it looks like the new season of GOOD EATS has started? Because I've seen two episodes now that were listed as "New" in my DVR. They've completely changed the time and day though (Monday @ 8 pm?). And they are showing different re-runs in the 8 pm slot. And moved Emeril Live to 7 pm. Makes me wonder if Emeril is the next to be phased out of the Food Network, since that doesn't sound like a time slot upgrade to me.

In any case, the GOOD EATS "substitutions" episode was a lot of fun.

BB: Why does Amber keep crying?

BB: Why does Amber keep crying?

Seriously. What the hell is wrong with her? I was praying that she'd lose the Veto Comp. because I didn't want to hear her cry about the stress! and the pressure! and the not knowing what to do!

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I caught the Good Eats "Substitutions" ep--it was great! Loved the way that Alton was all over the substitute (hawt) nutritutional anthropologist, at least until the REAL one showed up. Lots of good advice, too, especially for replacing buttermilk.

Amber just cries about everything. EVERYTHING!

Also the romance of the dullards is both amusing and appalling.

Ha!

I think the one guy whose name I still don't know might turn out to be the evil genius of the season. Also, I did think it was funny when "America's Player" had to suggest annoying what's her name to be evicted, when he thought it was a stupid idea.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Hey, have people been aware that it looks like the new season of GOOD EATS has started?

My Tivo told me! That means Feasting on Asphalt should be airing soon too, if AB's back and beardless.

The hottie substitute nutritional anthropologist was Deb's daughter, btw.
