As my girlfriend and I wait for her mom to finish...
Me: So what are we eating tonight? "Papa John's"? "Hoppin' Poppins"?
GF: "Hoppin' Johns". It's a New Year's Day tradition.
Me: Oh yeah? Where is it a tradition?
GF: In the south. It's a slave dish. I usually make a vegetarian version, though.
Me: Well yeah, slaves are expensive.

Must. See. This.
Have An Agenda Much?
Here’s a tale of 2 opening paragraphs.
This first one is from Fox News yesterday:
Senate Democrats Seek to Abolish Filibusters
Looking to challenge a time-honored privilege widely used by both parties when they are in the minority, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid on Wednesday vowed to remove the filibuster as a weapon to kill legislation by debating it to death.

MacGuffin
A MacGuffin (sometimes McGuffin) is “a plot element that catches the viewers’ attention or drives the plot of a work of fiction.”
Sometimes, the specific nature...

He may be best known for his mellifluous tones and gentle manner, but for one group of botanists Sir David Attenborough clearly conjures up different associations. Explorers who discovered a new species of giant rodent-eating carnivorous plant have named it after the TV naturalist.

I’m certain that someday it will be acknowledged that Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen is like the most totally awesome artifact ever of the end of the American empire. It’s so us, a preposterously perfect reflection of who we are: loud, obnoxious, sexist, racist, juvenile, unthinking, visceral, and violent… and in love with ourselves for it. And Michael Bay is the high priest of our...

aja:
Remember Rule 0: no paradoxes. If you have reliable records of having made some unwise decisions regarding your social life in high school, then those decisions were made, and can’t be un-made. Even if you go into a different branch of the wave function, where you bestow some wisdom-of-experience on your younger self, you would only be changing the history of that universe. There is still the...
