    It came to me rather late: this First Dog cartoon should be produced as a fridge magnet.

    @MJ: Annoying, I can’t find the paper on it now. (perhaps it was a laser diode)

    I’m not enjoying the thought of seminal coleslaw at all. Really, mayonaise is far better a dressing.

    kids seem to have this affliction, but they choose the exact same time as the heater has turned the inside of the house into a temperature similar to the surface of the sun. Pleas to get the fridge closed go unnoticed. Then they sprawl on the lounge, torturing me with cries of I wanna watch octonauts, which is a typical kid distraction. me? I just eat a piece of bread and cheese. and ignore the TV.

    @Peter: (and the title): I think I’ve changed my mind about this. I propose to sleep my last day. Life’s too short to spend an eternity tired.

    Smithy, that penultimate seminal comment had a slightly slimy feel about it. Eww.

    Like week-old coleslaw. (and you’re a fine one to talk, authoring that article on coleslaw)

    You *can* make good coleslaw, it’s just that the label tends to be so off-putting in and of itself.

    There is no evidence – and there never has been – of “good” coleslaw.

    Unless you count on it as being good for hiding treats behind.

    I’m thinking of one based on sauerkraut / pickled vegetables. Vinaigrette instead of mayo. It’s the mayo that is the total stuffup ingredient.

    As mentioned before, it needs a new name.
