Ask a grown man

I may have found the best thing to ever originate from an online magazine for teen girls, Ask a Grown Man. Questions are submitted by teen girls and answered by grown male celebrities. I had forgotten how much teen girls are obsessed with boys. I would recommend starting with Paul Rudd.

Every major's terrible?

The exceptionally clever people at xkcd have done it again. Click the picture to be taken to the comic of a clever little ditty about why every college major is terrible.  Someone has even attempted to sing it.

My major isn't mentioned. Does that mean it isn't terrible or that it's so terrible that it doesn't deserve to me mentioned?  Hmmm....

Pushing Daisies

I'm sure Pushing Daisies is a favorite for many food lovers if only for the fact that it features a main character who bakes pies who has a sweety that makes honey and whose sweety has a couple of crazy cheese-loving aunts. That being said, I just had to share the third episode of this season, which features Ned staring at a truffle (the mushroom type, not the chocolate type) like it's his long lost love.

Review of Barbecue

Sure, they completely forget about Kansas City, which is the best barbecue in the whole country, but it's still good.

Posh Nosh

Just in case you're starting to take yourself a little too seriously, a good dose of Posh Nosh ought to fix that for you. Posh Nosh is a short-lived BBC show featuring the husband and wife team of Simon and Minty Marchmont. Minty makes ridiculous meals using ridiculous methods (like alienating chorizo or interogating mussels) while Simon looks on, usually critiquing Minty's cooking or describing a bottle of wine in a way that leaves me with no desire to drink it. A choice quote from Minty: "We make our own stock, but by all means buy stock cubes if you have low self esteem."
