Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I want to Sharpie the Earth.

I approve of this plan.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Crude oil has just hit $126 a barrel. It's gone up $10 in one week. Currently it's more than double what it was a year ago....

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

You know what Epicurious needs? A culinary equivalent to Amazon recommendations. "People who rated this recipe 4 forks also enjoyed these" sort of thing.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Yay Truman!

Shrift, have a Sharpie. Have two.

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

That would be mind-blowingly great.

Wouldn't it?

Because I had this for dinner last night and lunch today, and I want to be able to browse the site using "I really really liked this recipe" as a starting point.

Somebody should knit me a Sharpie holster!

I have no motivation to work this afternoon. I may die of boredom.

Yeah, it's a funny cat video, but it's very good for a funny cat video. The music especially....

That does look lovely (and bookmarked, thank you!) -- recipes are such an utterly obvious place for that kind of collective filtering/rec system, and it's just never taken off. So instead you get site after site where you get a thousand really random-looking search results, or weirdly inflated star ratings for crap...
