Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next? Zoe: Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up. Wash: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.

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.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Huh, I would have thought he was more famous than that -- I was surprised by how many people hadn't heard of him when he was referenced in Sandman, so I guess I'd overestimated his fame....

The temperature has dropped like ten degrees in the last hour and a half! I'm taking this as a sign that God loves me and wants me to be happy.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I totally want Tater Mitts. The ad came up the last time I was peeling apples for a pie, and I almost cried with the wanting of it. I just couldn't remember what they were called.

Of course, there's no guarantee they work or anything.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Ok. Those are fucking cool.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Do you have a microplaner?

Also, I have affection for commercials that make everyday tasks look super hard, like the commercial embedded in that page. Like the colander ones that make it look fucking IMPOSSIBLE to use and keep a colander. Love them!

Now tagless for your comfort.

I covet the Tater Mitts. I'm a sucker for As Seen on TV products.

Creepy. Benoit's Wikipedia page was updated about his wife's death hours before authorities discovered the bodies.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I love Emperor Norton. I think about him every time I go past the Federal Reserve, which is every work day.

From DJ's article: 'And, surprisingly enough, the general public’s reaction was apparently “Cool. We have our own emperor.”'

Which is a good summation of the City's attitude in general.

Yes. Those are things of miracle. Not that I'd use one to peel a tomato, but still--very nice.

The part of piemaking that I most dislike is the apple peeling and coring. I have a new corer doohickey that needs to be tried, but I balk at those skins.

My mom has a peeler, corer and spiral-cutter. Doesn't use it much but chortles with glee when she does. Her mom had a similar device on the farm.
