GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

My wife has a couple of enameled cast iron pans that take some of the fussiness out of cooking with it. I have no idea what the pros and cons are, though.

For one pan, I can always get you a good price. Employee discount. I don't remember how shipping works with that, I think it's a flat rate but I haven't done it in a while. Actually, they usually run an online deal when the outlet sale is happening so you might could order off potsandpands.com with a coupon and get a pretty good deal. And then there's the sample sale in the summer with ridiculous low prices, but there's no telling what will be on offer.

Looks like Evan McMullin has a shot at winning Utah. You know, if he wins Utah and neither Hillary or Trump gets to 270, he'll probably be President.

She got a stainless steel French press to me. Which I promptly put a ding in, proving I needed stainless steel.

Spent the first 3/4 of the day firefighting and slapping hands. Spent last quarter explaining institutionalized racism in Baltimore to my so very white guy new officemate, recently from NYC burbs. I'm sorry, your description of the "safe" L is the white L and there are ugly reasons for that, and dismissing the black butterfly means ugly things too, so let me tell you.

I don't think he was expecting that from a 40something white lady in makeup with expensive shoes, but he listened politely. And he's only in 2 days a week at most.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

How can McMullin become president if he only wins one state?

Forgot to say, Congrats on the successful meeting, Hec! Good fortune with the meetings to come!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

If none of the candidates gets a majority of electoral votes, it goes to the House, which chooses among the top three candidates. The House has a Republican majority, most of whom don't like Trump or Clinton, and the Utah guy is a pretty standard conservative.

I trust you to know your limits, esse.

Well, now I have yet another reason to drink.
