And finally, a few parting words from Frodo:
“Do you know how the ox first came to be?”
No I don’t, Saruman. Do tell me more while I’m roasting it.
Reblogging from the grave
For some reason, “Is this the Dutch heir?” makes me laugh the most.

is easy, no one telling you what to do or when to do it
no one questioning why you’re eating M&Ms so early in the morning
or peeling a potato with your fingernails instead of a knife
no one watching you forget to screw the top back on the coffee maker
or put the glass pot under the spout, spraying coffee all over the kitchen
no one asking what’s for...

You do not have to be good. You do not have to walk on your knees for a hundred miles through the desert, repenting. You only have to let the soft animal of your body love what it loves. Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine. Meanwhile the world goes on. Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain are moving across the landscapes, ...

How to Land Your Kid in Therapy →
My first several patients were what you might call textbook. As they shared their histories, I had no trouble making connections between their grievances and their upbringings. But soon I met a patient I’ll call Lizzie. Imagine a bright, attractive 20-something woman with strong friendships, a close family, and a deep sense of emptiness. She had come in, she told me, because she was “just not...

I’ll tell you what else is ‘underrated’ apart from Elvis, Stereolab, and Radiohead: Rabbit stew. Actually Rabbit isn’t ‘underrated’ at all, rabbit is probably appreciated about as much as it deserves. It’s all right, it’s just not as nice as fillet steak. So, fucking rabbit stew. First things first. Off you go down to the bottom of the garden, to the wabbit hutch, where your...

An important question: Do female astronauts need to wear bras in space?
Update: This was a Q tackled in New Scientist, allegedly. One answer: “Your correspondent would not need a bra in zero gravity. She can experience for herself the shape her breasts would assume by swimming braless….

I wonder if calling it “Atlas Hugged” would make Objectivists really mad.
Bravo.
aubade asked: Well, he's very popular! I'm in the minority here, not you. ;P His books just leave me absolutely cold.

Not many authors can boast of having written a best-selling pornographic novel, much less one regarded as an erotica classic—but Pauline Réage could. Make that Dominique Aury. No: Anne Desclos.
All three were the same woman, but for years the real name behind the incendiary work was among the best-kept secrets in the literary world. Forty years after the publication of...

This is behind the scenes rehearsal footage of Syrio Forel fighting the Lannister guards. This is the video I used to make some Syrio fighting gifs last week, and it’s also the source of the still I use for my tumblr’s banner. :)
The interesting thing about this rehearsal footage is that without the fancy cinematography, Syrio’s Unstoppable Fighting Technique...

from This Ecstasy by John Squadra
If someone says, “To be enlightened you must
fast and pray all night,”
Have dinner and go to bed.
If you see a sign, “This way to salvation,”
run the other way.
If someone says, “This book is the truth,
you can buy it from me,”
Take your money and buy grapes and roses.
If someone says, “He’s talking tonight,
thousands will be saved,”
