Turang's profile when he's at bat reminds me of some VERY familiar actor, but I can't for the life of me think who.

Looked away from the game for a moment and what did I see?
Somebody on here mentioned grits and I got a Craving. Nothing fancy - I followed the stovetop instructions from the package except I subbed in a Maggi chicken stock cube for the salt and I grated in about half a cup of pepper jack - but dag nab is it good.
Did any tech magazine/website/blog ever do a springtime roundup of dev tools and call it "The IDEs of March"? Hell of a missed opportunity if not.
Little Johnny is in sex ed class and he's very confused, so he raises his hand. "Teacher - aren't the testes and the prostate the same thing?" "No, Johnny. There's a vas deferens between them."

Confession: when I see the phrase "give [x] a nom", I'm always momentarily confused whether I'm supposed to put [x] forward as a candidate for something... or to eat it.
Stupid question: was the timing of Vivek's shitty ad and the recent discourse about family estrangement just synchronicity, or did one lead to the other?
So after finishing my darks and pairing all my socks, I'm left with _this_ nonsense. Is this fair, I ask you? (This is what I get for buying socks at Ross a 6-pack at a time.)
"Now, my assistant Lobo will come around carrying a sack in his mouth to collect your tickets for the silent auction... no, don't run away! Come back, everyone - who's afraid of the bid bag wolf?"
Q: Why do reggae fans fear VPNs? A: Because of NAT-T dread.
The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves, that we are underthings
Predictions of the demise of Victoria’s Secret seem foolish now, as its fashion show and sexy underthings make a comeback.

First single(album) you bought with your own money. No lying. Mine's a twofer: the very first time I had any money, I hitchhiked into Napa and bought tickets to Pink Floyd at Oakland Coliseum, plus the album they were touring on and The Wall because I missed listening to my big sister's record.

When my oldest sister moved out and got an apartment, I missed her so bad... The first time we visited her, I wandered over to her record collection and asked her "What's your loudest record?" She said "Finlandia" and I've loved it ever since. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fE0R...

name your fav classical music song.
For an atheist, I sure do love me a requiem - and the crescendo of the Sanctus leading up to "Hosanna in excelsis" gives me goosebumps every time. "In Paradisum" is the bit of Fauré's Requiem that's usually quoted - and it's great! - but give me the Sanctus every time. youtu.be/4xZbnY5jQSk?...
