Need matches to start your winter fires? Use Literary Lites! The only matches that use flaming words as well as…whatever the heck is on the tip of matches (to wikipedia!) 

Also, these look like great little DIY stocking stuffers.

Shouts & Murmurs: Who Wrote Shakespeare?

While it is perfectly obvious to everyone that Ben Jonson wrote all of Shakespeare’s plays, it is less known that Ben Jonson’s plays were written by a teen-age girl in Sunderland, who mysteriously disappeared, leaving no trace of her existence, which is clear proof that she wrote them. The plays of Marlowe were actually written by a chambermaid named Marlene, who faked her own orgasm, and then her own death in a Deptford tavern brawl.

Pardon me while I catch my breath and bemoan the lack of sexy and talented men in my general vicinity.  With an accent to boot.  Or, as Inez says:

He’s so gorgeous it hurts.

I mean really.  If I’ve said it once I’ve said it a thousand times: Fassbendmeover makes me remember that I have a tongue.  Sorry for the inappropriateness of my commentary.

um, YES. if only i had money.
