It's time for me to buy some legos for the first time since middle school.
 
Please pray for my three older children and their father, their grandmother/mother died on Monday.
I am befuddled by the syntax of this statement. I want to ask a question that my gut tells me may be less than appropriate. Regardless, I'm sorry for their (your?) loss.
 
I walked by the mall Lego Store and saw that Simpson Lego set on display. I looked at the display card and it had a translucent 200 Euros showing though the folded paper it was printed on. I knew this thing was going to be expensive :(
 
Perhaps some of you Doctor Who people can help me out: if English call cookies "biscuits," then what do they call biscuits?

Biscuits per se don't really exist in England. The closest thing to a US biscuit is probably the scone, which consists of a flour, butter and milk mixture and is served with butter, clotted cream or jam. (US scones are considerably different, sweeter and fluffier I think.) KFC's in England don't even have biscuits on the menu.
 
That doesn't really sound similar at all. No biscuits at the chicken spot? What heresy is this?

So, if an Englishman were on vacation in the US, what would his reaction be to going into a Bojangles, or a Hardee's (sorry, Carl's Jr., for you left-coast types), and seeing the breakfast menu? What would he think he was looking at?

No idea. I'll ask Londonking. ;)
 
HOLY poopoo! That Walking Dead episode was crazy. I feel all shaky and amped up like the last minutes of a close Kings game, except it was for just about the entire episode.

Okay...now that the second half of the season has started, I find I have even more questions. It's hard to explain this series to anyone who's never watched it.
 
Flu day :(

I would tell them it's not like a typical one dimensional Zombie film. I hate Zombie movies but this show hooked me in.

I mean a character like Michonne in a movie like that would just be nothing more than a killing machine with no lines. When characters die there is more of an impact (partly due to sitting down and seeing these characters week after week) and I even find myself feeling anxiousness about characters that I find annoying when they are in finding themselves in trouble.

I would also recommend telling them to not get discouraged by season 2 (the show was going through multiple staff/writer changes) because season 3 and especially this season more than make up for it.

Well, it took a herculean effort by the opposing team's star player, but our season is officially over. It was nice to hear coaches wail about not being able to score against our team.

It'll be nice to have my evenings back. Kinda.
