@Gef the Talking Mongoose Mmmm, Capri Sun! I think there should be more tiers though. (And more tears. Always more tears.) There's a hell of a difference between 10,000 and 200,000.
or is there?

On Greek-Style Orzo Casserole
Martha! I have a cupcake recipe book of hers and it always fucks up. Always. And the ingredients are so numerous and fussy... I'm DONE. *slams book down, walks out, takes a bit of your casserole to go*
PS, Jolie: do you think basmati rice would sub in okay for the orzo? I miss orzo so much! but can't have it. Would I have to fiddle with cooking times or adjust the amount? Help me, I know nothing.

@boyofdestiny Does that make this less masturbatory or more so?

@Brooke Adam@facebook This is The Awl, not The Hairpin (though it was linked from there) but yeah, The Awl isn't generally creepy either.

On Is Impossible Pie Impossible?
@Moon-bat I like Cheeseburger Pie! Or, at least I did the last time I had it, which was about seven years ago?

On How Much More Do Televisions Cost Today?
@jfruh I totally agree with you and have always ardently defended people who are poor having cell phones. I also had a completely duh moment when the organization I'm working for showed me this program... some of those people might not even have to pay for those phones! GASP. Also, it's a total safety issue, as well as a humanity issue. How well is your mental health going to hold up if you can't call your brother or mom or buddy or something every once in a while just to make sure everything's okay?

On Local Twitter Slang, And All That Jawn
Maud, I read this post of yours and my pappy said numbers 3-7. Precisely like that. He was from near Asheville. I personally say 4 and 5. (As written.)
...I thought the "advanced rebel/yankee test" was wrong because in the options for what feels natural to you for expressing when something is large, "real big" was not an option. Neither was "awful big." I had to pick "awfully big." I tried so hard to get rid of my accent as a kid but now I am just rolling with it because the older I get, the harder it is.

@jolie I think my favorite part of it was when Nick was all "I'm surprised I haven't heard about the 'golden age' of Choire Sicha." Sorry, Nick, anyone who would have complained about that has either a) quit reading Gawker in favor of more awesome websites (that Choire is currently *at*?) and/or b) still (kinda?) reading, but knows that complaining is basically wasting time that could be spent doing other, more valuable things, like watching a corgi get vacuumed.
