The green thing is a roller to peel the garlic, I think, and I'm guessing the tiny brush is to help clear stubborn crushed garlic residue from the press?

When crouching one's back is kind of parallel to the floor, when squatting it's perpendicular-ish? Your doubts are making me doubt myself!

Holy crapamoly! Is this an endgame crisis, or a unfathomably powerful regular rival?

A little off-topic, but I was startled to discover the Portuguese often end texts/messages with "bjs", short for beijinhos.

Oddly enough, I saw Vibration Whitefinger perform at a battle of the bands in Aberystwyth in, oh, 2000 or so!

Instapaper is excellent for this also, extracts the text for distraction free reading. I know Chrome & Firefox have reading modes that do similar - does Safari?

They sploot to cool down, and it's getting warmer, so maybe they sploot more often these days? I don't remember my childhood dogs splooting.

If I was likely to use two or three eggs next time I reached for the box, then 5 or 6. If I was likely to only use one egg, then 7 or 8. I have unreasonably strong feelings against combinations 3 & 4. (With a box of 12 eggs, I start at the edges and work my way towards the middle.)

Ben MacIntyre's books about WW2 espionage are all excellent, especially Operation Mincemeat

Firstly, very excited to read this. And secondly, thanks for recommending Alan Furst in the Locus interview, best new (to me) writer discovery of the year! Hope you have a most excellent Christmas!

I once threw a roach out of a 3rd floor window, and it *hovered* and stared at me before buzzing off & returning the next day with 5 of its mates.

I think it has something to do with arches, where the column starts to veer from the vertical towards the apex?

There's a Vietnam memoir of a C-130 pilot called, IIRC, One Trip Too Many, which might help.
