It is anti-migraine coffee; normally I don't drink caffeine at all but I woke up with a killer migraine this morning and I've got shit to do, so I'm on my second cup of the day. I might never sleep again. So if I start posting crazy shit and you start to suspect I've developed a cocaine habit, don't worry -- it's just me being a coffee lightweight.

Where exactly is the strogon on a giraffe?  Do other animals/mammals/ruminants have one?

I have a problem.  Whenever stroganoff is mentioned my mind immediately translates it to 'stroke it off.'  That was probably funny as hell when I was 14.  I at least have the good sense to keep this to myself most of the time, but I wish it would just go away.  How can i erase this from my brain?

When I have a terrible song stuck in my brain, I go and listen to a better song that is just as catchy and get that stuck in my brain instead. There must be some way we can adapt this approach to your problem.

Repeatedly watch that scene from the animated Anastasia that came out in the late 90's. "Stroke it off" will be replaced with, "'And never slurp the stroganoff!' 'I never cared for stroganoff!' 'She said that like a Romanov!'"

I can't find a decent quality video of just this scene, but the link above has decent audio.

I just have one question.  Does Anastasia die at the end?

Nope. It ends while she's still young.

My dad is such a fan of head cheese. He likes figs, though, so it doesn't surprise me.

Really not seeing the connection between figs and head cheese, Nabu.

In Nabu's brain I'm betting they both have to sit facing the Nasty Corner.
