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 can also report that Frankie is very sweet and mild, even with frisky adolescent cats.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

He also does well with toddlers and baby goats. Really, I had to move down here so he could befriend a whole new metro area.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Got a bunch of fresh dill -- you don't use the stalks, right? I mean the giant bits of stalk.

Has anyone else watched Time Team out of England? Tony Robinson--Baldrick in Black Adder--is the host, and it's chock full of wonderful over the top personalities digging around England. There's about 20 seasons of the show, with lots of them online. I've watched so many episodes that I'm starting to slash the members of the crews. At least, Tony and Mick, the head archaeologist, seem to touch each other a lot.

I love Time Team, and was really bummed when History International stopped running it a few years ago. I'll have to look them up online now that I know they're there--thanks, Connie!!!

The few Time Team America shows appear on PBS every once in a while and are decent, but are much more scholarly and less quirky.

My favorite British ep (that wasn't a special) was one where they went to Colchester and ended up finding a Roman-era villa's mosaic floor that was just stunning in its fragmented state. This was in some average resident's backyard!

They're on veoh.com, Kathy. I love them snarking at each other.

Time Team America seems to assume that there are new people watching every time, and their host is handsome but bland.

My favorite UK episode so far is one where they found a huge gold coin, and the guy who found it is standing there shaking.

Our wings are not tired.

That is a reaaaaallly good pic of Frankie, but I am partial to the one where he's scooting behind someone on a couch!!

Things you learn when watching the Tonys a week after they aired: Sutton Foster is dating Bobby Cannavale? Huh.
