Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Me and Maria should totally run away.

RUN AWAY TO SAN FRANCISCO

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

My guess for those facial surgery photos is WWI. The shrapnel caused horrible injuries.

Yeah, and that's about when they could start saving them from dying from infection. Didn't we have the whole conversation about the faux-tin faces that were used to cover the deformities? Something they've used on Boardwalk Empire.

Right. I don't recall the discussion of the tin faces, I might have missed it.

I still find it amazing that we can now give someone with massive facial injuries a full face transplant.

Burrell, here's the Smithsonian article about "the Tin Noses Shop" where disfigured WWI soldiers were given lifelike (and freakily uncanny) masks.

Jack Huston's character on Boardwalk Empire wears one.

Thanks Hec, I'm always interested in WWI vets.

I'm waiting on the plumber as we're having trouble with the pipes. Annual snaking of the drains. Then the plan for the day is laundry and Xmas shopping.

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

I'm hungry for candy--I think I need a dozen of these:
