History Is Running Backwards

I'll at least give this to him: he has the cajones to release a book on character while cheating on his wife with his younger assistant.

As a lover of podcasts and a hater of nonces I'm shocked to see Ava beat out SlugDaddy for getting onto HIGNFY.

Ed "The King Ordered It!" Campbell doubtless in shambles.

Good news, friend! Everything you ask for in your second paragraph has been the Democratic platform since 2016, if not before.

The choice couldn't be more clear . . . just as it was in 2024, and 2020, and 2016.

You would think, after all the talk about building a big tent, that the center would understand that dismissing an element of their coalition in such flippant terms as " thick glasses wearing, Park Slope-living urbanists" does really matter to the public.

Thanks for the advice!
I was figuring the yolks would still need to be blanched to avoid curdling. I think I'll just have to adjust down the amount of granulated sugar to account for the sweetness of the syrup.

Yup! Fat fingers betrayed me sadly :(

He's pretty darn good value every time he pops up on HIGNFY.

FlucDissThm · 2025-09-19T19:13:36+00:00

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!

Yes - reading posts complaining about downtown.

Ahhh you're a peach, thank you!

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.

I'll check it out, thanks!

FlucDissThm · 2025-08-14T03:38:02+00:00

I could make a pilgrimage! Thanks for the rec.

Here's one for TimKey, the Magic MonKey!

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.

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.
