Good grief. I just spent ten minutes trying to help some teenager pick out an appropriate sewing needle. She said she wanted really thick and preferably sharp.

The Snook seems to have been able to solve the video stuttering problems so I’ve uploaded a new version of the Better Homes & Gardens clip. It’s slightly smaller and lower quality (and it cuts off the stupid Knit Club joke), but at least it plays straight through!

We watched the weirdest movie the other night: Bugsy Malone. The Snook deliberately TiFauxed it last week because he’d seen it as a kid. I was like, “Wait, what? It’s a gangster movie but they’re all played by little kids?” That’s not even the weird part. The bad guys shoot tommy guns loaded with whipped…
