I love the kid name in an xkcd comic... something something DROP TABLE STUDENTS;
Little Bobby Tables, we call him.
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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Cooking with Luis

When he makes the fruit kebabs and the big paw paw melon or whatever loses it's netting and he ye;;s, "THE PAW PAW IS NAKED!" cracks me up every. single. time.

To be clear, we are not looking for a EWNEEK name, either. Just hoping to avoid several of them in a class, you know? It's really interesting how you think of a name, think it's pretty unusual, and then it places high on the list. I'm thinking of Avery (girl), which I used to really love and is now on the list. How does that happen exactly?

I love this one, where 2 kids cook recipes from the Alinea cookbook (to prove it's not beyond the skills of a home cook).

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

Oh, totally - I can't think of a single social situation in my life where I've been the only Jessica in the group. (But I still love my name.)

Bwah! I remember it was part of a road name in San Diego many years ago and it struck me as sweet and kind of Southern (which I am) and I liked it. Fast forward 7 years and it's in the top 50. I just wonder how that happens.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
