Sunday Night Wrap-Up

hortense — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 18:15:00 EST

This weekend, we wondered if Taylor Swift was being set up for a fall, took a virtual trip to the Miss France pageant, tried not to bore everyone stiff at parties, and admitted that sometimes, we sound like our parents.

As always, feel free to stick around and fight the Sunday night blues with your fellow commenters. Let's keep it light and so on and so forth. Here's a song to get you started:

Thanks for another lovely weekend!

National Cookie Day. Read that again: National. Cookie. Day. In honor: A photo of our favorite cookie-loving children's character, the better to inspire the posting of cookie pictures in the comments. (A request: Peanut Blossoms!) See you Monday. [The Nibble]

Sunday Night Wrap-Up

hortense — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 18:30:00 EST

This weekend, we learned all about the "turkey drop," tried not to stink up the joint with our signature scents, were given some bad advice, and tried to survive the zombie-like horrors of Black Friday.

Feel free to hang out here to fight the end-of-the-holiday weekend blues; as always let's keep things light and such. Here's a song to get you started:

Despite all evidence to the contrary, today is National Leftovers Day. At my house: stuffing, blackberry cobbler, turkey. At the White House: All of that, plus more. What's in your fridge? Day-after details, in the open thread below. [Nibble]

Sunday Night Wrap-Up

This weekend, we spotted several examples of badvertising, took at look at yet another sexyface and shoe-filled video, learned how to survive in a sparkly vampire world, and had the bejeezus scared out of us by the folks at Kay.

Don't forget: we're also putting up a live thread for tonight's American Music Awards at 8pmEST, so feel free to stop by and watch the show with your fellow commenters. If that's not your thing, you can always hang out here and fight the Sunday night blues. As always, let's keep things light, etc. Here's a song to get you started:

Superfudge! Otherwise known as the title of a Judy Blume book or, the fancy version of a popular supermarket candy given its due thanks to National Peanut Butter Fudge Day. Dig in - see you Monday. [Nibble]

Sunday Night Wrap-Up

hortense — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 19:55:00 EST

This weekend, we discussed Edward Cullen and the power of teenage crushes, came up with our own Brangelina headlines, had uncomfortable moments with the Signals catalog and the Jacob Black doll, and learned that Hammer pants are here to stay.

As always, feel free to stick around and fight the Sunday night blues. Let's keep things light and so on and so forth. Here's a song to get you started:

November 13 is National Indian Pudding Day, called the nation's "ugliest, yet great tasting, bi-cultural culinary treat." John Adams liked it; but it apparently it's not Indian, it's British; Native Americans didn't have molasses. Oy. Happy Friday. [The Nibble, Slashfood]

Mad Men Season Finale Open Thread

This weekend, we took a sexyface-fueled trip through Leighton Meester's latest video, learned about Barbie's latest competition, wondered why Facebook allowed a "pro-rape" group to stay up for several months, and discovered that we apparently had "powers" as teenage girls.

Don't forget: we'll be having an open thread for tonight's Mad Men season finale, so stop by and join us, won't you? If Mad Men isn't your thing, feel free to stick around here and fight the Sunday night blues with your fellow commenters. Here's a song to get you started:

It's National Nachos Day. Fun fact: Nachos were invented in 1943 and there's an "original recipe" which includes real cheddar (screw canned crap) and jalapeños. I'm actually off to order some (with sour cream, natch); see you Monday! [The Nibble]

Sunday Night Wrap-Up

hortense — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 18:50:00 EST

This weekend, we celebrated Halloween with the stars , wondered if society really hates children, learned what kind of dude to avoid 365 days a year, and discussed the scariest "non-scary" movies of all time, including The Peanut Butter Solution. Yikes!

I know we're still having problems with comments disappearing; the tech team is working on it and hopefully it will be fixed soon. Tonight, feel free to stick around and fight the Sunday night blues (or the post-Halloween headaches) with your fellow commenters. As always, let's keep it light. Here's a song to get you started:

Super Spooky Saturday Night Social

hortense — Sat, 31 Oct 2009 18:00:00 EDT

Once again, it's time for our Saturday Night Social. It's also Halloween, so I hope you're all having a super scary (or at least super candy-filled) evening. I'll trade you your Kit-Kats for my Twizzlers, deal?

I know we've been having some trouble with comments disappearing today, so I suppose this thread might get a bit weird tonight; the tech team is aware of it and on the case, and hopefully things will be back to normal soon. As always, let's keep things light and such. Here's a song to get you started:

Thank you for reading and commenting today, have a safe and happy Halloween, and I'll see you in the morning.

It's National Candy Corn Day, the worst (in my estimation) of the Halloween treats. Faves: Sugar Daddies, Dum-Dums, Pixie Stix. Last costume worn: George Bush. (Fake pubes were involved.) Spill your fave sweets, costumes? See you Monday. [The Nibble]
