I am pretty sure I've said this before, but some things bear repeating - you can now get Graeter's at Krogers in the deep south - definitely Atlanta and North GA and Alabama and I think SC too. It's $5 a pint and worth it.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Sneak preview of Glenn Beck's first novel. [link] I was going to say favorite part was the top-secret meeting with everybody's names on the catering order, but then I got to the end of the article and read the Star Wars part, and I cannot stop giggling.
It sounds very entertaining.

Happy Birthday Javachik and Dylan!
McFarlane dicked Gaiman around big time with creation rights, royalties, verbal and/or written agreements not to further infringe on characters and so on.

GRRRRRR.
there has to be flagrant and grievous dickery on McFarlane's part.
