Shouts & Murmurs: Undecided: Humor: The New Yorker
To put them in perspective, I think of being on an airplane. The flight attendant comes down the aisle with her food cart and, eventually, parks it beside my seat. “Can I interest you in the chicken?” she asks. “Or would you prefer the platter of shit with [...]

Making the Most Amazing R2-D2 Cake Ever – B-Side Blog
Completely edible (minus a dowel or two). Fondant covered red velvet cake, rice krispie legs.
Though as a true Star Wars geek, I have to point out that it’s not R2-D2. It’s an R2 class droid for sure, based on markings and design, and it’s similar to [...]

Louis C.K. on shaving his goatee for a role in a new Ricky Gervais film:
Ricky and Matt asked me to shave my beard for the part which was kind of a shock to my system. I have had a goatee beard since I was in my early twenties, so pretty much my whole adult life. [...]
