The orange and green really work well with the marble and granite or whatever.
I ate them simultaneously, like a proper Unfogged woman.
I demand these photos become enlargable so that we may evaluate your anatomical claims properly.
For science.
4: You say "marble or granite or whatever" like you don't even see stone. Just conveniently forgetting who faced metamorphic pressures and who didn't.
Eggplants and carrots have a long running rivalry.
Yeah, our house came with terrible granite all over the place. It seems a crime to get rid of such perfectly functional stuff. Also this particular color granite is amazing at hiding spills. I love this property and Jammies hates it.

I swear to god I initially misread "spills" as "syphillis".
Toilet seats spread syphilis, not counter tops.
In class the other day, some student put their proof on the board, and it included the phrase "and so it is bounded", and I read "and so it is banned" and I spent a moment too long looking for the analogy in their proof. I am not even kidding.
A student group at the law school is hosting a lunchtime talk on ending the federal ban on marijuana. With what I assume from context is no intended irony, the email advertises "Free burritos! (Limited quantity, so get there early.)"
OT: what the hell is it with Boardwalk Empire? How can a show that looks so good be so insanely mediocre?
They didn't bother spending money on writing and research? I was hoping that show would turn out to be good enough to be worth watching in a few years when it was on dvd/online. I guess not.
They spent a zillion dollars on research and the show has the best set decoration I've ever seen. And yet it is just somehow not very good.

Elouise. Humanity is poorer this evening.
I should have qualified that to mean social research. Unless they really did that too. I assume most of the research that goes into historical period stuff is more to get accurate sets and costumes and less about making compelling stories. Although the compelling stories part is more about imagination than anything else.
No, they did tons of social research. And got excellent writers. Yet, the show is boring.
Maybe Prohibition-era Atlantic City was just not as interesting as you would think.

Depends if you put carrot pubes on them or not.
14:I think Boardwalk lacks a charismatic lead. Buscemi, Pitt, Shannon, MacDonald are all character actors and supporting players, and none are able to rise to the occasion (Gandolfini, Idris Elba) and carry the scenes.
I have seen all these in lead parts in movies, and the movies all seem kinda small and a little flat. Which is fine in smaller movies and indies but doesn't lift this to where it wants to be.

If only you had told me this yesterday, I would've had sex in the kitchen instead of in the bathroom.
So this is the read erection thread?
I ban myself with extreme racism prejudice.

Toilet seats spread syphilis and counter tops.
Oh man there's nothing worse than using a public toilet and ending up with tacky granite all over your ass.
Overton Window
Oh lord, we don't need another fight on the blog.
I don't know what it should be called or how it should be conceptualized, but it seems undeniable that OWS is doing something to political discourse.
30: Then don't fight! Seems pretty obvious that the, ahem, parameters of debate have been expanded in a useful direction. Moreover, this change was the result of deliberate, direct action that was designed to do what it did. If this doesn't fit the definition of "Overton Window," it's hard to see what would.
Who's fighting? I'm not fighting. Why would you accuse me of fighting?
But yeah, I agree. Yglesias had a nice post about how OWS had become a means to introduce bits of reality and left wing viewpoints into the mainstream.

Well, that's going to keep me up at night.
Oh good fucking Christ. Of course it fits within the stupid "Overton Window" non-social science concept, because the concept is a moronic catchphrase for morons and can be used to mean anything or nothing.
And sure, 34 is right. That's what successful social and protest movements do.
The Overton Window comes with semen of granite to destroy us all.
29: "Too Few Have Too Much", so, what, more ought to have too much?
If enough people have too much eventually the average person will have enough.
Well, the mean person might have enough, though there may not actually be any such people.
On the other hand, if there were no mean people, that would be fantastic!
Well, right. The other solution would be for him to advocate that the same number with too much attempt to acquire much too much, but perhaps that's phase two once his current plan gets shouted down.
Your mother is average.
1% of your mother controls 40% of the nation's lipids.
Your mother is the 99%, all by herself.
I'm occupying your mom right now.

50: There have been about a billion of these explanations floated. It's a little premature to say this is the one, since it depends on whether the original scientists took this effect into account or not.
Here's a skeptical take on the proposed explanation.
I don't know what you Boardwalk Empire bitchers are talking about. The show is good! And it does too have charismatic leads! They're called Michael Pitt's lips. (swoon) And Michael Shannon's lack of lips. (recoil) And it has Omar back when he was running booze before he started robbing drug dealers! C'mon!
The only thing I don't like about the show is that it's had some obviously anachronistic expressions in the script now and then (Steve Buscemi: "What's THAT all about?") And as much as I like Buscemi, I think he's over-reliant on that little grimacey-face he makes all the time.
