... What's the name of the breakfast thing where you cut a hole in a slice of bread, put it in a skillet, and crack an egg into the hole? I thought it was "toad-in-the-hole", but apparently that's something completely different involving sausage.

I ask because I've been making a lot of it recently and I'd like to know what it is I'm cooking. XD

Edit: Okay, it seems that Toad in a Hole is a perfectly valid name for this as well as the sausage thing, and there are also a bajillion other names. XD Ultimately, I think I'm going with Egg in a Basket. Thanks, everyone! XD

You know something that really drives me nuts? Any time there's a promo for any given fantasy movie or game and it is described as "beyond imagination".

Because you know what? No. No it isn't. It is not beyond imagination because it exists, and therefore someone has imagined it. If it's supposed to be beyond the viewer's imagination, "beyond anything you've ever imagined", well, you're selling your audience awfully short. How do you know I haven't imagined something like this, or something grander? It also almost sounds like you're saying it's beyond the viewer's CAPABILITY for imagination, in which case congrats on insulting your whole target audience!

Just. Augh. Quit saying it's "beyond imagination" because IT'S NOT. IT IS NEVER BEYOND IMAGINATION, I DON'T CARE HOW GOOD IT IS. STOP IT. Find a new superlative to describe how awesome this new fantasy is, so I can stop twitching.

... I feel better now. XD
