Tooth: Use this pick for the bass, it's thicker.
Me: Is it the thickest one they make?
Tooth: It's the thickest one I've played with.
Me: That's what she said.
“That’s what I love about cooking with a dutch oven… the delicious smell that...”

I’m guessing ‘Dutch oven’ has more than one meaning.

What does Black Friday even mean anymore?
What does “Black Friday” circa 2009 mean anyway? It’s always been a weird marketing construct — as if consumers ever really cared that the day after Thanksgiving is the chance for retailers to clear the red ink from their ledgers and go into the black (though who knows how realistic that expectation is this year). And while the supposed joy of frenzied bargain-hunting...

day late dollar short
“I’ve got the idea,” I said to Baum. “Make a program that lets you search video clips by the dialogue from a tv show or movie.” So when I want to watch Angel Salazar’s best line from Scarface, I just have to type in ‘you got a job’ and I can watch my clip. “Google just announced that,” he informs me.

The vernacular — the slangy reference to pancakes —also helped.

Leave My Kitten Alone
The Well is considering getting a mascot, but I’m extremely lazy and would never commit to walking a dog in all kinds of weather. So I’m trying to convince Tooth to get a cat, since it’s relatively low-maintenance - automatic feeder, pooping in a box, etc. The most fun part, aside from the endless pussy jokes, would be naming the pet. My first nomination is Frank, simply so we...
I Should Have Known Better
“There are a lot of people who aren’t that funny on tv, but then you see their stand up and it’s funny,” said Tooth. Tom Arnold is not one of those people. Tom Arnold is not funny on tv or in person. Tom Arnold licks balls. I would give anything to get those 90 minutes and $27 back.

The Word
From Time:
Obamu v. a slang term gaining popularity among Japanese youth
To ignore inexpedient and inconvenient facts or realities, think ‘Yes we can, yes we can’ and proceed with optimism…One explanation holds that it is the opposite of kobamu, which means to refuse, reject or oppose.
