“While the story did have a great moral to go along with it, it was about dirt!...”
– From a one-star review of The Grapes of Wrath. More one-star reviews of classic books here. (via bigredrobot)
(I haven’t read it, but isn’t it more concerned with dust than dirt? Dust in bowl form?)

I appreciate the effort—I really do—but I’d be better off filling that information out myself. My name is not “ShanePREVIOUS EXPERIENCE”. You did your best, but… no.

Actually the reason that article pissed me off is...
mattgorman:
Its whole angle is that everyone should cook, because cooking shouldn’t be considered work. But it is work. It is what I do for a living. It takes hard work, knowledge, and experience. When someone devalues the effort it takes to cook I feel personally offended.
I think it’s misguided, but it’s coming from a place where self-sufficiency has disappeared - or at least...

For the record
mattgorman:
The general rule is that you cook a chicken at least 20 minutes for every pound. For a chicken that is at least 3 lbs. (ie one that can feed a family of 4) you’d need about an hour for cooking time alone. Plus prep of at least 5 minutes and you’ll probably want to let it rest for about ten minutes before portioning it out.
Don’t tell me how to cook my chicken! If I want...

canadian-problems:how do you pronounce poutine?

Absolutely correct. You barely even hit the ‘n’ on the end. “Poo-teen” is wrong. It’s also the worst comic book character I can imagine.

Geeky cool. I like it.
I’m going to do the same for my kids, but instead of Ewoks, I’ll use their drug-addicted mother who left town as soon as she could stop breast-feeding little Evan.

mattgorman:
Is it possible for a female to be a Nice Guy (tm)?
I guess Taylor Swift would be a better candidate, but I think that she may have already been discussed on the internet.
See THAT makes more sense to me. Taylor’s always like WHY ARE YOU WITH THAT GIRL DON’T YOU KNOW I’M BETTER FOR YOU I’M BETTER THAN ALL THE GIRLS and I don’t get that as much from Adele.

You spat upon my spirit scowling like I was a thief Like Caesar crossed the Rubicon by learning from a leaf Like Genghis took the Great Wall seeing beetle take to breeze Like Hitler bought a microscope and followed a disease
But a sword is not a soft goodnight No conqueror’s a kitten We are all responsible for histories yet written

My name is Kelly Schomburg, I’m the girl with the red hair in these pictures. I was protesting at the Occupy Wall Street march yesterday when I and several other women were sprayed with mace and subsequently arrested. Many have already seen the video, which has been spreading like wildfire over twitter, Facebook, tumblr, and other video feeds, along with hundreds of other photos...

You know what's weird?
bestrooftalkever:
Before a child’s first birthday, that baby is technically 0.
It’s true. December 29th, 1987, was my 0th birthday. I don’t know how to pronounce “0th”, though. It could be “awth”, or “oath”, or “zero-eth”, or “nunth”.
Happy 0th birthday to all the babies being born right now!
