I'm glad other people are baking, too. I use yogurt in place of the sour cream and it works out fine -- also, I love baking with coffee. Yum. I actually don't have any in the apartment tonight and that mini-cupcake pan is giving me bedroom eyes, so it might be gingerbread pecan muffins instead...which would probably still be better with coffee.... Mmm, coffee.

Ahem. Whee, rum. We'll see how this baking project turns out!

Terry @ 278: the Tun

The Tabard, surely? Harder to rhyme, though...

Wishing you both the best with this stressful situation, and a quick recovery for Teresa.

From my mother -- "Never share food with your father."

And from my grandmother, gnomic indeed -- "Pull up your socks, America!"

I love you, Jim. (That's what he said!) This has been going around in my head since Sunday night's pub sing at the NY renfaire, except our version is (roughly)


Young Luke Skywalker, he was there
Lookin for some nookie
But he had to make do with Leia
Because Han was with the Wookie

Singin, balls to your partner
Your arse against the wall
If you canna write slash on a Saturday night
You canna write slash at all!


And surely our version should be The Ball of Barad-Dûr?

I thought of the Matt videos when I watched the Discovery Channel commercial in Patrick's sidelights -- both of them make me think what a beautiful place the Earth is and about all the passionate people on it, and that not everything is hopeless. I should probably just start putting Matt on after watching the news!

Kindergarten Attercop

Also, I'm late to the game because the top row of my keyboard stopped working...I discovered this when I went to google something and saw that the first hit was a disemvowled comment on Making Light. ;0)

>Indeed, let's not fall into countering Coulter's despicable misogyny with equally despicable transphobia. The "It's a MAN, BABY" thing that seems to crop up around her isn't clever, isn't funny, and isn't helping.

Thank you, Dan @ 28 -- and while we're at it, Randolph @ 13, let's keep her sex life out of it, too. We may think she's ridiculous, but a fair fight is a credit to us...and she gives us more than enough material to work with!

>Farr has played an Arab sheik before!

And here I thought you meant that episode of M*A*S*H with the imaginary camel!

Xopher @ 127 and Dan @128:

Just a conspiracy of cartographers? In that case, the map is most definitely not the territory.

Teresa @ 16: I had to do that, as well, and I was tickled to recite it for my college Chaucer professor! I think he was tickled, too.

Also, I think my next story has to be called "Aliens That Speketh Strangelych."

Greg @ 302: Don't forget Oldman's performance in Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead! I can't wait to see the fifth movie, mostly because I know there's more Sirius. I would actually have liked to see him as Lupin, now that I think about it; we know he can do anything, and Prisoner of Azkaban didn't make me a huge David Thewlis fan.

Leah Miller @ 168: Brilliant, eloquent, right on the mark. Harry's comment to Albus Severus in the epilogue was too little, too late in terms of putting Slytherin into the gray area, too, which seemed to be the major theme in DH.

Also, I might be a little S-L-O on the uptake, but Grindelwald didn't strike me as so bad until I saw his prison's name was "Nurmengard." I wonder if she actually played "Nazi Scramble" to get that name or if it's just that it sounds German.

This is a disease; I've watched my AIM conversations slowly degenerate the more posts I read.... Clearly the only cure is to get it out of our systems!

To His C0y Mistre55

If only wuz more time in day
I wud chase mouzes, catch and play
Wit dem and bring u guts and hedz,
And humanz could stay more in bedz
I wud not care u close ur door
I got ur tower to explore
An ur like omg, drive fixd!
An mebbe later I's Meow Mixd.
That be kewl and we wud chill
You at desk, me windowsill.
But noes! no time! So much to do
An thaz y I be botherin u
Feed the cat and no more snooze!
Or I try worms and puke ur shoez
Plz work wit kitty to get done
Important stuffs for Number One.
Desk is fine for workin place
But pay more love to kittyface.
Is time to tackle yarn and all!
An yarn and kitty be one ball
An u untangle cuz u in my power
Then ur houseplants I devour
You be mad but I have fun!
So halp wit mine cuz u got none
Ur own, u starin at ur comp
Just makin light of kitty romp
Them no want ur n00by rime
Kitty deserve all ur time.

Is anyone else having better luck with Boomshine without their glasses on?

Serge and Jack: Works best if you put some spin on it, like throwing a Frisbee.
