This completely reasonable and not-at-all hysterical cartoon apparently ran on a site called bastardsbible.com, which alas has gone the way of the dodo. I’m not sure if that was the original source. (I don’t think so; the hanged man’s hairstyle looks pretty 197os or 80s to me.) I’m also not sure why the members of “Today’s Lace Curtain Dominated Media” are wearing boxes on their heads. Or carrying what appears to be foliage. Or why the whole thing seems to be taking place on The Little Prince’s tiny planet.

look…so…yummy
*drools*
Mmmmm, See’s candy. I have some Godiva salted caramels if anyone’s interested, and Mr. HK’s Easter basket (AKA DIabeetus Bucket) was a hit and is loaded with chocolatey treats.
Those things are amazing. You can actually feel the texture of the individual grains of brown sugar – it’s old school, like something your grandma would have made.
Did you get him his bunny ears too?
They were out of bunny ears everywhere we looked, dammit! I should have grabbed a pair yesterday. Boo.
Chocolate butterscotch, yum …

Okay, anyone have casserole recipes that are vegetarian friendly?
Hi melody, how you doing today?
Would these recipes be of any interest?

Been talking to my insurance company 😛 So, mood not fabulous. I work tonight though so at least I don’t have to worry for a bit.
I think I’m going to request the collision report in order to find out what the other person is claiming.
Green Bean casserole is my fav! I’m glad it is the type with soy sauce. The best.
The spinach casserole one sounds great because I have everything except the cheese for it.
But the Shepard pie would likely be the best one to bring to a pot luck. I think more folks would go for it. Nom.
Fingers crossed for the outcome with the insurance and everything!
Glad those recipes look good, I did a random Google (knowing zilch about cooking). 🙂
hellkell: Lutefisk: blergh. I’ve tried and I just CAN’T.
Don’t even look at surstromming, which Swedes tell me is the reason Norwegians eat lutefisk… they can’t hack surstromming.
Cassandra: Ah, I was thinking Denmark rather than America. In which case I really should have included cheese too. Can you put havarti in a casserole?
Yes, and fontina.
cloudiah: Those are called antimacassars, because there was a popular hair treatment called Macassar Oil.
I think the boxy look is supposd to be bags on their heads, like The Klan. They are a terrorist minority, or something.
That’s what I took them to be, Pecunium – all the more ironic since the MRM doesn’t seem to have much of a problem with the KKK (apart from the times they like to pretend that lynchings were all about horrid women claiming to have been raped just to get a man killed, of course. Not sure how that explains the women who were lynched.)
Why does All Male Opinions look like Edward R. Murrow?
I thought he looked more like a dismal Alfred E. Neumann.
Nice to see you, clairedammit, how’ve you been?
The KKK being compared to feminism…..
It’s implicit in the use of the word, “lynch”.
@Karalora, The next time I think about visiting Solvang, I will have to remember your name. I didn’t really grow up with aebleskiver, but our Icelandic neighbor used to make the most amazing pancakes (like lace with cinnamon sugar) so I’d like to try aebleskiver. My mother had the pan, but in one of her thorough spring cleanings she gave it away. Her parents were all about assimilation, so she has no Danish recipes or language to pass on to us.
Oh god, the whole lynching thing. Read the fucking NAACP primary resources, which I’ve done — or read Red Summer, by Cameron McWhirter. Seriously, a good book, well researched. I love To Kill a Mockingbird but it just ain’t a broadly representative view of lynching.
Melody, mac and cheese, enchiladas, and lasagna are all casseroles that can be vegetarian friendly. I tend to invent endless variations on those. Here’s a vegan one from my blog that’s a favorite: http://chezcayenne.blogspot.com/2012/09/cheesy-vegan-mushroom-and-roasted.html. Feel free to use cheese and milk in it in place of the non-dairy stuff.
Pecunium, I knew the word “antimacassar” from reading Agatha Christi novels as a teenager (and aced an SAT question as a result), but I didn’t know why they were called that – thanks!
Hi Kitteh (and the rest of y’all)! I’m doing great. I’ve been trying to stay off the internet as much as I can, as I’ve been feeling a whole lot better after surgery a couple of months ago and now I have tons of stuff I want to get done. But I’ve still been reading posts and comments! I’ve just been getting to them late.
How is everyone?
I don’t know if he’s used macassar oil, but this gentleman has his hair styled to within an inch of its life …
clairedammit, glad to hear you’re recovering well from surgery! I’m keeping my fingers crossed right now that I won’t need surgery on my crappy knee. Got an MRI coming up in a week. Today I’m enjoying the Easter break and lovely cool wet weather. What days do you get off in the US? We have Good Friday and Easter Monday. Used to be Easter Tuesday as well until that bastard Kennett took it off us in the 90s.
I hope you don’t need surgery for your knee either, Kitteh! I was impressed with everyone I had to deal with during mine, though. If you do have to have an operation, I hope your team is every bit as good.
@clairedammit
That is great. I’m actually lactose intolerant. I do eat dairy, but only when I take my pills and still only in small amounts. Of course, because I can’t eat dairy I like it all the more. 🙁
The Chocolate Peppermint Ice Cream Sandwiches looks so good too…..
