A Dozen Or So Mostly Forgettable Characters In Search Of A Plot

Not too far away, Dolly Madison sits atop her giant baked goods empire, surrounded by huge piles of powdered sugar, and laughs and laughs and laughs. 

Green chile. Colorado style is a lovely heartwarming stew that is delicious by itself, and vastly superior to New Mexico style, which is like a runny, disappointing condiment. Related to this, I don’t find much difference between Hatch (NM) and Pueblo (CO) chile peppers. As long as they’re made into the right chile,…

There's a Sonic nearby my Arby's, and I'll go out on a limb here and say although the Arby's curly fries are the best, Sonic's tots are superior to potato cakes in the way that matters most, which is crispy surface to greasy interior ratio. 

“Dearest Prudence,
I pray this letter reaches you, for our ammunition is running low and the poultry troopers are on the march yet again. They came for us just before dawn, when the men were still sleeping. The clarion call of the roosters aroused us but not before the feathery assassins descended upon us. My bunkmate…

So, I came back here today to say I tried the Carl’s Jr version of this sandwich this afternoon. I wasn’t underwhelmed by it but I certainly wasn’t overwhelmed either. Let’s say I was whelmed, and it’s in the upper half of fast food quality chicken sandwiches, where I still think Popeye’s is the overall winner.

Now...I…

DAMMIT, LET GARY PLAN THE WEDDING ALREADY!!!

I’m probably the only person who watched it, but I thought the battle in the season 2 finale of The Orville was very well done. Must have been tremendously expensive to produce, too. 

There was an Original Hamburger Stand in Greeley when I was there. Lunch for $2, man. 

I must check that out! 

I invite you to come out to Colorado and try our local chain Good Times Burgers & Frozen Custard. Excellent burgers (including a bacon cheeseburger called the Big Daddy that will kill you with love), sliders (lovingly called Bambinos), two kinds of fries that will stand up against anybody else's, and yes, frozen…

Coffee, according to James Holden. Everything else is negotiable.

Well, I mean, we’ve already seen fifty berzillion Batman and Superman movies. DC has a broad universe of untouched characters. Why not take a chance on something new? I mean, how many more times do we have to see Martha Wayne’s pearls bouncing on the cement? Let’s get bonkers. How about a Ted Kord Blue Beetle movie?…

...after apologizing... 

ALL NOTES MATTER! 

I watch this at least a couple times a year. It’s an actual spaghetti Western. I love the way the narrative structure wanders from person to person without ever losing its heart and flavor.

Hard pass on the raw egg as well.

This sounds like Scud: The Disposable Assassin.

Tossing out Frankie Adams (The Expanse’s Sgt. Bobbi Draper) as an excellent potential casting choice.

Thank you for including Colorado-style pizza. Once this damn pandemic is under control (wash your hands, wear your mask, social distance, and get a vaccine when you’re eligible!), I will gladly go get Beau Jo’s with anyone who wants to come visit.

It's great to see someone put together a fun, original sci fi adventure. It reminded me of Cowboy Bebop in a lot of ways. Handwavery aside, I was entertained and enjoyed some parts enough to rewind and watch them again. We need more stuff like this!
