That’s just it. The notion that lobster is “fancy” is not borne out by the way many people eat it.
Sure, you can pay a small fortune for a fancy lobster dish at a Michelin-star place, but you will probably also be served all kinds of other humble ingredients prepared elegantly. The fact that any given ingredient shows up on your plate at, say, Jean-Georges, is not in itself a gauge of fanciness.
with all the itunes talk, I really really like Windows Media Player for my music even though it has no easy rss/podcast support but it has a great UI and organizes your music nicely when you rip it from cd.
I have an older model iPod that still works fine and that I use frequently, but that I hadn’t updated in some time. Because I have more than one Windows machine I was manually managing my music rather than syncing. I don’t store my entire music library on any single machine and I also found that during various “upgrades” and also changing machines tunes tended to disappear.
It had been quite a long time until I decided to update it and add some podcasts a few months ago…which it would only allow me to do by syncing, deleting everything on my iPod and overwriting it only with the most current playlist on the machine.
I’m sure the ability to manually manage music is still in there somewhere but I feel like Apple has purposely made it difficult because, hey, no one could possibly still be using a pre-cloud iPod.
We are amused she will be playing Queen Victoria. 
But it feels kinda weird because the typical cultural image of her is old dowdy Victoria siring most of Europe’s royal families. Definitely not as a young hottie.
It’s not a genetic or cultural thing. I just severely dislike it. My family all love it, and I’m not lactose intolerant. I’m even fine with pretty much all other dairy (fresh milk and butter are great). I think it’s just the smell that I’m reacting to. Parmesan is the worst.
I don’t have an actual list handy of who does, so instead I will simply create a hypothetical person. I call it “Howie”.
I’m late to this party, but:
Taylor Swift is illiterate.
There’s no other explanation for the lyrics of her song “Romeo and Juliet”
Ditto for whomever wrote Gnomeo and Juliet.
You’re dead to me, and don’t expect any more holiday cards. Well, not as many as last year at least.
Fromage-haters are the worst.
But he’s the guy who led the Pro-Brexit faction, isn’t he?
“Desktop” is the perfect storage location for all of your files.
Just the cheese caucus. They wanted to preserve the character of British cheese by turning the UK into a metaphorical roquefort so they could go it provalone.
@japhroaig hasn’t been stepping up lately. I do what I can.
Would you say that the big cheese in a pun gent?
I’ve always wanted to do jury duty, but have never been asked.
I was called up but got out of it at the last minute.
Thanks cancer!
That’s OK, if they aren’t octokittens.
I can’t see Nigel being happy with those foreign puns. He’d only use the cheeses on this list.
I had to opt out because of mental health problems. Twice!
