On Congressman Endorses Kutcher
Well, at least now the mystery of "Who even watches Two and a Half Men?" has been explained.

On Survey Says! The Complete Online Dating Advice Guide for Men
@KenWheaton Ah, but that's just the thing: You won't know. Not always. There's definitely more margin of error with weight versus height.
And the problem with perusing online dating profiles (in both directions) is that it is easy to create bright-line cutoffs about physical attributes that will exclude people you'd find perfectly charming if you met them in real life first.

@KenWheaton It's certainly not winter in California this year. Though, to be fair, it's never really winter in California.

On 'The Thorn Birds': When Young, Sexy, Straight Priests Roamed The Earth
@themegnapkin Yes to the ancient Rome books, which are undeniably awesome, and I got my boyfriend reading them too, though I'd say the first few are the best, and then it just drags on and on and you keep reading because you're so invested in it but McCullough's hero-worship of Caesar (he can do no wrong!) starts to get in the way of enjoyment. (I really did read every single one, even the last one, which just, ugh!)
And I would say they are not entirely lacking in smut! (She throws in a few Roman orgies and the occasional murder in the midst of all the politicking and warmongering.) Really, any time the story focuses on Sulla, it gets great. But, oh, how it bogs down in the many Italian civil wars.

On 'The Thorn Birds': When Young, Sexy, Straight Priests Roamed The Earth
Confession time. I love this book (trashy as it may be), and have reread several times, but I've never seen the miniseries. I'm afraid it will be disappointing? Or, worse, boring?
Should I be watching it right now?
And, yes, I love The Thorn Birds when it is all wonderful crying and exquisite pain and extensive melodrama, but didn't Meggie seem just a wee bit tiresome? Like, am I the only person who just liked her actress daughter, Justine, better? How she was the only person who could maybe somehow escape the generations of tragedy compounded with tragedy.

On Chicken Mushroom Casserole For The Lazy Snob
@Charismatic Megafauna Yes, not everyone has a matching set of Le Creuset. Some of us slice our own mushrooms and have an off-brand dutch oven with only one chip in the enamel that we picked up out of a box marked FREE on the sidewalk...

@MichelleDean It's so nice to know other people read also these "educational" books during their impressionable youth.

@Bethany Rusen@twitter Yes, I came right down here to say that I'm sure the person who emailed Nicole was confusing the first book with the later books. (So, so dirty!)

@drufus Oh, yes, The Thorn Birds. One of those books I occasionally reread just so I cry through it again.

On Lobstah And Crafts! A Summertime Guide To Portland (The Real One, In Maine)
@jolie I know what you mean! Last weekend I bought plane tickets to Bangor so I can spend the fourth of July in [name of small town redacted]. I just wish it wasn't so far away (in time and space).
