A word of advice for you dog owners: If your dog poaches a box of commercially available mac-n-cheese and eats the entire powdered cheese packet, do not let that dog sleep in your bedroom.

Unless your idea of a good night’s sleep is having some freshly crusted hairy taint perched on your face all night.

Iron Chef America—I’ve just now realized for some reason—really is pretty fucking stupid.
