Roy is great. He's no Moss, but he's great.

Is that the penis worm that I learned about today?

She was a really funny comedy actor, but also good in Close Encounters. I'll probably remember her most for that role.

YES! I watched it on bootleg VHS about 100 times when I was a kid. It has so much to love.

*myrmecologists *a lady scientist *flamethrowers and gas bombs *LA sewer tunnels *some psych ward patients who make some great points (eg - Do you think there's a black market for hot sugar? They were ants, I tell you!) *walk by cameo by a young Leonard Nemoy; he was just an extra at that point *an entire informational film strip about ants

They also do a really good job of investigating and escalating the emergency response to a very bad and weird situation. Good writing and good acting.

she had been flagged after she indicated that she was not a U.S. citizen in response to a jury summons

She claimed non-citizenship as a way to get out of jury duty???? Bwahahahaahaha! This just keeps getting better.

That looks like a perfect copycat Giordanos! I used to make those at home before they opened one up locally in ~~American hell~~ Ohio.

They make my friends in Italy SO ANGRY. They insist that it's some sort of quiche or casserole. And then I point out that I've been to Italy and seen the hotdog and french fry pizza with my own eyes. That makes them angrier.

If you're a home cook, it's possible to make a very passable Chicago style pizza at home. I've done knock-offs of Giordanos's stuffed spinach and also a standard Lou Malnoti's.

But I'll admit that it's a bit tricky if you don't have that base knowledge of what you're going for.

I think this was the resource I used to back-engineer the crusts. The rest is getting the order of ingredients (cheese on bottom to form a fat shield that protects the crust, toppings, potentially more cheese or another razor thin crust, then red sauce.)

draw what you see.

This is the best advice I ever got when it comes to realistic drawing. And it is hard! Seeing is different than knowing. And a two dimensional page is different than the 3D space that we live in. Drawing is like a translation between brain, eyes, and the paper.

If you draw what you know, you end up with some weird shit, like those medieval cat drawings. It may be recognizable as a cat, but doesn't look like you're seeing a cat.

I think they were just trying to promote math. I always thought about it later in life as I tried to drunkenly calculate pool angles at the bar.

"Dammit - Donald tried to explain this when I was 10! Why can't I remember the details?"

The most hauntingly memorable was a weird mid-century Donald Duck piece of math propaganda. We watched it in school.

Donald Duck in MathMagic Land. Not scary, but odd.

My husband is still scarred by that one.
