I obviously wasn’t talking to you directly. But there needs to be some mutual respect between both parents and kids in this matter. My wife and I are firmly sandwich generation right now. Our kids are in their 20s and 30s; our parents are in their 70s and 80s. My father-in-law has been living with us for the past year…

Don’t expect me to rush to the E.R. with you at 1 a.m. then, when you’re having intestinal problems because you don’t have a gall bladder, but still just eat any old greasy damn thing you please.

One year for our company white elephant gift exchange, I bought a toilet seat and painted holly leaves and berries on it. I told them it was a “redneck Christmas wreath.”

Ooo! I have a bag of this stuck away to bring out when the family gets here tomorrow. Can’t wait! :D

Somehow, this doesn’t sound that weird to me. There’s also steak tartare, a raw meat dish that’s usually considered a delicacy. Tons of people eat raw oysters. And reading this it occurred to me that I myself ate raw fish for lunch today. Still, I do love me some carbs in addition to meat!

So, although I have Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu, Disney+, Paramount+, Peacock, and Apple TV+ subscriptions, I still can’t watch this. We are in a terrible, terrible place for streaming video right now. Some kind of shake-out is going to have to happen.

I haven’t bowled with turkeys, but I did once play bocce at midnight with oranges and grapefruit in the lobby of Marriott World Center in Orlando. I was at a conference, and they had these huuuge bowls of fruit in front of the ballroom. After the official last-night event, about 50 of us somehow got started playing…

Yep, I was going to say alignment. I think most cars probably are super-conservatively aligned from the factory. For example, specs often call for slightly positive camber, just to discourage you from cornering too fast. A tiny bit of negative camber and a bit less toe-in than the specs call for can greatly improve…

I did that a couple of years ago when I made way too much stuffing. The shepherd’s pie was good, although I ended up having to make extra gravy to go on it.

The Neverending Story. I never saw it until I was an adult with my own kids, and that is very possibly the worst movie I have ever seen. And I’ve seen all the Sharknado movies.

Yes, I butter the plain ones. (It’s been a long time since I’ve had one, though.) It was my cousin who got me started buttering them when we were kids in the 70s. Can’t imagine buttering a frosted one.

I’ve tried lapsang souchong with chicken, and although I thought I used a lot, the flavor was still pretty subtle. If I do it again, I’ll use a boatload of it, and see if I can get more smokiness.

Seems to work well on my Pixel 3. I’ll keep trying the free version for a couple of days, and buy the paid version if it holds up.

Yeah, that might be a key reason I find the idea bad. We have hundreds of books, across at least a dozen categories. This would be a ridiculous way to “organize” them. “Hey, where is that biography of George Washington?” “Oh, I think it’s somewhere in the blue section? No, wait, maybe it was red?” Instead of where it…

That Jiffy corn casserole is my SIL’s non-negotiable, so my daughter’s making it this year. This is kind of a special Thanksgiving for us. Our middle daughter lives overseas and was away for 3 years. This year all our kids plus partners will be with us, probably for the last time for several years again. We’re doing…

Congratulations! I got one on Jalopnik a while back, and I know exactly how you feel. :)

On the other hand, I find almost every other kettle chip I’ve tried to be better than Cape Cod. Don’t get me wrong, Cape Cod aren’t bad, but I much prefer the flavor of Krunchers, or even Walmart’s Great Value brand kettle chips, which are honestly pretty tasty.
