WRT the recipe thing: never admit the origins, no matter how much you’ve changed it. I made dinner for an ex of mine, which was my ex ex’s family recipe for borscht. When I told her it was an ex ex’s family recipe, she banned me access from all of her family recipes. Now I’ll never know how to make tater tot…

I grew up in Maine, where I think the biggest regional difference is that we have a tendency to refer to a deli as a “spa.” It took awhile after I moved to Chicago to realize I was just confusing the hell out of people constantly.

NFL, just a minor quibble: you meant “ensure” not “insure.”

Did anyone else notice, after the last Cowboys touchdown, the camera briefly cut to Jerry Jones as he was pulling up his fly?

I also thought it was incredibly well done and beautifully shot. Though yes, I did see it with 4 other white men.

So, not a pussy, but bear with me:

I went to the semi-local McDonald’s today at like 1:50. I’m sure the sauce is basically just hoisin with some cayenne sprinkled in, but hey, whatever, lazy Saturday.

It’s far past cronuts-levels of craziness at this point.

What I’m hearing is “if they divert flights here, I might actually have to do more than an hour’s worth of work per day, so I better start coming up with excuses.”

In any case, the stuff detailed in the report would be considered disgusting by general society in almost any era. Blocking a woman in a kitchen so you can masturbate into a potted plant is a level of fucked up that even Don Draper wouldn’t do it.

In HS I worked at a stable in rural Maine. It wasn’t a fancy or expensive place, so similarly there were plenty of boarders that were nice, reasonable people that just thought it was a fun weekend hobby. I myself boarded a horse there.

Where’s HamNo’s take on the matter?

Good call. I love Bojack Horseman, and it does do a much better job than R&M in that it doesn’t have the whole “you’re just sad because you’re too smart for this world” trope.

When I first saw both of them they had 100% ratings on Rotten Tomatoes. I left both thinking that there was some movie critic conspiracy against the general public. The Host is some ham-fisted attempt at political satire that isn’t scary or funny. Snowpiercer is pretty much just Bong jacking it to Terry Gilliam.

I dunno, it’s been awhile. But back in college, a bunch of us realized we’d all been traumatized by it back when we were kids, and it was for free on demand on our dorm’s TV. So we thought “haha, let’s watch it and laugh about how dumb we were as kids.”

They also included Snowpiercer and The Host which, warm take, are garbage films.

I hate that he made a movie as touching as Bully and is still an unreformed piece of hot garbage.

I’ve had the same feelings sometimes. But also, those people can eat shit, this isn’t their show.

Every day I think “well we’ve hit rock bottom, can’t get any worse.” Then he does shit like this. I don’t even know which way is up anymore.

I mean, for number 1, I think you’d be fine since you were the one calling the cops. “Hello, law enforcement? I’ve just received a mail order of $400,000 of prescription drugs. That I requested.” Nobody has ever had that conversation
