My wife is the funniest person i know
Alissa: You know that Progresso soup commercial?
Me: Which one?
Alissa: The one where the dude is trying to propose to the lady and she's too into the soup to notice, so he takes a bite of the soup and that's when she sees the ring, but now he's too into the soup to notice her?
Me: Yeah, what about it?
Alissa: I'd like to think that's why Oprah and Stedman never got married, cause of a never ending series of situations like that.

BBC's Sherlock really is the best
However, it’s also sort of the worst, since i just finished the season 2 finale and new episodes probably won’t happen for another year. Boo-urns to that.

Last night someone posted this comment on my reblog of Jess’ Komen post: Although I agree with the sentiment that Komen’s choice is a bad one, the above argument is logically stupid. Let’s pretend that PP has a budget of $5000, $500 of which pays for abortions. That’s 10% of PP’s total budget. If Komen provides $5000 to PP, then PP’s budget is $10000 and its...

just want to clarify something about this komen...
oldtobegin: though it’s possible i just missed it, as i haven’t been doing a lot of deep reading on this yet. restricted grants (such as the grant from komen to planned parenthood) require organizations to only spend the incoming money on the thing the grant is for. that’s written into them. organizations like PP are also required by the terms of the grant to report ALL spending of grant monies...

– Lyrics to a parody version of Rick Ross’ “Hustlin’” written from Joan Didion’s perspective. (This has been running through my head for the past week, for some reason. Posting it here in hopes that it will go away now.)

Use "Jenny’s Number" to Get Club Discounts at... →
You know, Jenny from the song 867-5309 (see the above video if you weren’t around for the 80s). As parenting blog Parent Hacks points out, most stores can verify your membership by looking up your phone number. But it doesn’t have to be your number—just a number in the system, and people add fake numbers all the time to avoid giving out their own. Since 867-5309 is one of the most...

Chicago People: I need new glasses....
The last place i went to (in Andersonville) ended up as one of the worst retail experiences ever. Alissa went to a place in Edgewater and it was almost as bad. Should i just go to LensCrafters, or is there someplace better?

Here is the article Chuck Klosterman wrote about Lulu, one of 2011’s most reviled albums and generally considered one of the worst things released by either Metallica or Lou Reed. Now here is the article he just wrote about w h o k i l l, one of the most positively reviewed albums of 2011 as well as just being voted Album of the Year by Pazz and Jop. Is there any question which album he...

– Marco Arment, talking like a real 1%’er. The same guy who called Kindles “disposable”and thinks paying authors is a “feature”. I guess inventing Tumblr and Instapaper gives you a pretty big bankroll, though. (via bmichael)  Ugh, this fucking guy. He is my Thought Catalog.

I’m not entirely sure what the point of this post is. Is Foster insinuating that corporations sometimes do things for less than altruistic reasons? Well, duh. Google and Facebook anti-SOPA stance isn’t a big deal because they’re doing it out of the goodness of their hearts, it’s a big deal because the two largest internet companies have decided to throw their weight behind...

Southern food, beyond the butter →
Southern food did not make the South unhealthy, rather a broken arrow of cookery did, one that is ultra-processed, trans fat laden, lard fried, and massively caloric. That’s not how I eat and I eat Southern food pretty much every day of my life. Look at that, one of my favorite chefs, Hugh Acheson, wrote an article saying everything i was trying to say yesterday, but way better.
