"Wintry mix" still sounds like I should add water and eggs to some boxed mix, then freeze to get some strange dessert.

Product label: Mermaid Milk Bath. In the fine print: "No mermaids were harmed in the making of this product."

Somehow "Jingle Bells" Judaized in my mind to "Yingele Belz," about a young Belzer boy, of course.

Best sight today: two girls learning to use stilts, walking along the sidewalk.

ack, Face of Bo! Just saw ep three of series three. I assume this is in reference to something ahead of that...

wintry mix = yuck. we should invent a dessert and call it that, though.

[magid.livejournal.com]

Yeah, definitely ahead. Didn't want to spoiler anyone, but it's been days and I'm still saying this.

As for a dessert, there's lots of options. First thoughts are that it ought to be mostly white, with perhaps some brown (for slush), probably mostly a frozen thing. Ice cream with some cake bits? Plus some of that glaze that hardens as a topping, sort of like how ice is atop everything else?

RTD tiptoed back from that one in the commentary. :)

Which leads to questions of canon, I suppose. I mean, it seems obvious (if a fast-moving moment) what's intended, so backpedaling in the commentary doesn't seem fair; they wrote it that way for a reason.

[geekosaur]

His claim was that he dropped that in to leave the idea open but also open to interpretation, and he wasn't planning to do anything with it. (Of course, he's said that last before....)

I know! You've got to wonder what happens in between there...

[magid.livejournal.com]

Yeah, definitely. (Fodder for more spinoffs?

And the size issues! There are studies that guys' ears get larger with age, but almost everything else seems to shrink with age (see: artificially aged people during the season...).

In the fine print: "No mermaids were harmed in the making of this product."

Well I should hope not! If you harm them, how can you come back and milk them again the next day?

Reminds me of a story J. told me from when she was active in the fiber arts community, from a woman who did demonstrations of shearing/carding/spinning wool. One day she was confronted by a distraught onlooker: "But how can you kill those poor innocent sheep just for their wool!"

[magid.livejournal.com]

Well, if you don't have proper milking technique/equipment, it can get messy....

And oy for someone not knowing that sheep shearing is not the same as slaughter. (Wow. Obviously someone who hadn't read Farmer Boy, either.)

The Face of Bo comment had us laughing hysterically, we loved that connection so much.


So... who has red fingernails?

[magid.livejournal.com]

Red fingernails? Um... all I'm thinking of is the warden's nail polish in Holes.

Whoever picked up the ring at the end.

[magid.livejournal.com]

Gah. Now I want to see the episode again!

Did you ever see the "In God's Kitchen" The Far Side cartoon?

[magid.livejournal.com]

I don't think so. Or at least, if I have, I don't remember it.

God has just taken out of the oven what is apparently our home planet and senses that it is only "half-baked." A box labeled Earthquick sits on the counter.

Oh, nice!

And I don't think I've seen that one before, either.
