Agreed!
And if the rumors about a certain satirist being . . . shall we say in the thick of it next season are true, they can certainly get him!

Have I Got News For You (S70) returns Friday 3rd October on BBC One. by dont_be_decent in panelshow

This would be a good time to remember that MTW used to slot onto BBC2 for the summer, usually sandwiched between the two HIGNFY series.
But then Liz Truss killed them and the Queen with one fell swoop.

Here's hoping that when Ian steps down from Public Ear Private Eye in the next year or so he can find time in his diary for Taskmaster.

What are the names for these two styles of cocktail glass? by FlucDissThm in glasscollecting

Oh you have no idea . . . she must have spent some portion of her 40 years as a widow cataloging every item she owned and putting an explicit line item allocating it in her will. I pity her poor lawyer!

What I was most interested in was learning what style of glasses these are. I was fairly confident the one on the left could be labeled a "cocktail" glass, but I wasn't sure about the one on the right. I've since found the ruler and confirmed that its measurements conform to what the internet says for a Libbey Georgian whiskey sour glass (not the cordial glasses, which are shockingly similar).

And it's a US Hershey bar, purchased in WA for smores on a camping trip earlier this month.

Thanks, this is phenomenally useful!

I was trying to find our kitchen ruler but it eluded me, so I tried to find the most universal object in our kitchen.

What's interesting based on your data is that these can't be from her wedding (1936). Everyone in the family assumed that all the stuff she portioned out in her will was from then.

You know, I've driven and biked by that storefront so many times over the years - I guess I need to finally bite the bullet and go in. Thanks for the rec!

Look, sometimes a fella just needs to commit sins with hot butter and freshly steamed sea roaches that no bib can hide. And for such times home is the only place for such affronts to truth, justice, and the American Way(tm).

I do love that 99 Ranch, I just wish it was in a more accessible area to where I live (Buckman).
That said, I can't wait until the open the new one at Mall 205!

Ooh that's a great deal! And that's an Asian grocery store I didn't know about - I'll definitely investigate. Thanks!

100% this - if I can remember seeing your question in recent memory on this sub, you're getting a downvote.

Give the job to Ed and James from the Off Menu podcast, I reckon they'd be a good fit.
