Looking to tap into the hive mind of ALOTT5MA for some help with a trip to London. I'm going on my honeymoon there at the end of the month (and taking my wife with me!) and am interested in any advice, particularly dining recommendations for young couples on a budget. Things of the must-see/should-avoid variety would also be helpful.

OH GILLIAN, SHE'S A DONCASTER LASS: Commenter Bobby has a question:
THEY DO IT JUST A LITTLE BIT BETTER: How big is Wawa? It's the #8 seller of cups of coffee in America despite only having 587 stores in the midatlantic region, just one of the factoids you'll learn in this Don Steinberg profile. (See also the five women from West Chester who visited every Wawa; lots of old school Wawa pictures.)

LABOR, LAW: Of course we're proud of our blog readers who endured and survived the Bar Exam last week (and in years past), but, honestly, it's not like y'all went into labor during the afternoon of the multistate and still finished the multiple choice exam before giving birth two hours later or anything.
I NEVER WANTED TO BE A STAR. IT WAS AN ANOMALY THAT I WAS ON SNL AT ALL: Joe Piscopo sits down with New York magazine for an interview that is wholly unedited and unfiltered. Piscopo's far more revealing than he thinks he is -- I don't believe he's conscious of how name-droppy and self-aggrandizing he is, and the end of the interview is a beaut.
EGOT WATCH: While we debate whether Whoopi Goldberg's producing Tony for Millie and her pair of Daytime Emmys count, James Earl Jones will join EGOT next year, assuming the honorary Oscar he's getting counts. (Jones' other wins? Tonys for Great White Hope and Fences, three Emmys, most prominently for Gabriel's Fire, and a 1976 Grammy for Spoken Word, shared with Helen Hayes, Henry Fonda, and Orson Welles. Interestingly, that Grammy win for Hayes made her the first person to EGOT.)
WELCOME, MY FRIENDS. WELCOME TO MY CHOCOLATE FACTORY: Buzzfeed attempts to catalog the ten greatest entrances in movie history. Don't click on the link if you still don't know who played John Doe in Seven. Filmsite lists many more here ... and, really, how does this list not start with Clarice Starling's walk past the underground cells to meet Dr. Lecter?
