Craig Stoll shoves Comcast into the metaphorical pizza oven. Humphrey Slocombe sends Ryan Farr’s wife into labor. (Was it pickle ice cream? Seems like way too normal a flavor for HS.) And we find out where Nate Appleman is now sourcing his recipes.

Whew! I’m back in action after spending a week in food jail, taking the San Francisco Food Bank’s Hunger Challenge. What was it like? You can read my blog posts here. Let’s just say I won’t be eating any oatmeal again for a while.

I’m catching up by bringing you some vintage tweets from the past couple of weeks that should not be missed. Enjoy!


***Tweet of the Month***
