Dear Ladies,
It is in no way your fault, but those rompers? They’re not working.

WRT wedding dresses and parenting
Our guy Nick just laid down a whole lotta parenting truth in just three little bullets. Nicely done.

I can’t find an embeddable copy, so click to view the judge’s table ownage.
We’ve watched Top Chef religiously since season two, and this is the biggest COLICCHIO BURN that ever was. He’s been a total grump most of this season, so he definitely had it coming. Stacey watched this clip about 400 times last night.
That Grayson is a spicy one.
Distillation
There have been millions of words spilled over the Tim Thomas “scandal”, but very few if any have called Thomas out for being plain rude, which I think is just about the most important aspect of what is a relatively unimportant story.
Switching to today, I spent 10 minutes on twitter just now and I was subjected to several ugly comments in reaction to the news that Kelly Clarkson is...

I don’t ever think I’ve seen a movie as savaged as Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close critically earn Oscar nominations for Best Picture and Best Supporting Actor.
Also, I don’t care that Viola Davis & Octavia Spencer could win Oscars in the Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress categories — The Help

SLEIGH BELLS - COMEBACK KID
ALEXIS ‘CRUSHES IT’
So like, Alexis Krauss was in an obscure pop band before her ascension to Sleigh Bells. That’s something. Is that interesting or not at all? #TheLDRWord
Depends on what you consider obscure, I suppose. Derek was in Poison the Well, so that’s something.
Also, sweet video.

I know about 1/17 as much about LDR as most of the people I’m connected to on tumblr and twitter, but Maura’s take is a better sourced and more detailed (and, naturally, much better articulated) summary of how I feel about the matter.
The only thing I would add is a suggestion that everyone take a deep breath.

Ben Franklin’s 200+ Synonyms for “Drunk”
mentalflossr:
Today we’re celebrating Ben Franklin’s 306th birthday. If you’re celebrating at home, perhaps one of these phrases from The Drinkers Dictionary will come in handy. The lengthy list of expressions meaning “inebriated” was first published by Franklin in the Pennsylvania Gazette on January 6, 1737.
This is a good list, but is missing (among others): overserved, sauce piquante...
Confession time
I really, really hate Morrissey/The Smiths. Like, it’s about the only music in the world that makes me scream in horror and disgust the very first second it hits my ears. I’m sorry, everyone.

I was going on the other day about how much I love Grover, and my girls just looked at me like I had a developmental delay.

Growing up in Louisiana, we always recycled our Christmas trees for use in coastal wetlands restoration. Now there is a good and similar reason to recycle here in Oregon.
