my N64 was a christmas '96 gift from my parents - it was my freshman year of college. i can't imagine a more fortuitous combination than GoldenEye + dorm life. to this day, i hold that game system responsible for my not going to medical school after college. it was worth it.

We realized there has never been a Persian, or an Afghan or a Venezuelan restaurant in the city and that not only have never been those restaurants but, those communities actually exist here."

...almost forgot! This one might be my second-favorite Jalopnik post of all time. I love the SR-71 because it, like no other plane I've ever seen, gives me that giddy, visceral thrill that makes me feel like a kid all over again. *Love* driving out to Udvar-Hazy just to see the Blackbird they have on display over…

This SR-71 post from last year is one of my favorite Jalopnik posts of all time.

i'm indian (born and raised in the US), been to tons of indian weddings, only maybe one or two of which had some kind of powerpoint/video presentation - and those were focused on the couple, not the parents - though still boring and a little obnoxious. no powerpoint or video presentation at mine, though i did make my…

I had never heard of him until I saw him on Parks & Rec - I'll take people's word for it that he's funny elsewhere, because I think he's terrible on P&R - I cringe whenever he shows up on screen, because a) I know exactly what he's about to do, and b) I know it's going to be more "grating" than "funny".

i think i bought the same bag as you, for the same discount. agree 100% - fantastic suitcase, couldn't be happier with it.

as a ravens fan, i'm fine with our placement on the graph. but in terms of suckitude, how can the panthers, texans, and falcons be considered less sucky than the saints and (maybe) the bears? is there some very specific window of time that this graph is meant to capture?

right? the similarity has not prevented my wife from continuing to make fun of me for it right up to the present day.

This wasn't in a restaurant, but...a couple years ago, we had to take my then-girlfriend/now-wife's cat to the vet late one night. when we got to the vet's office, i went to reach for what i thought was a jar of tasty pita chips on the receptionist's counter - only to have my girlfriend point out that those were some…

i've re-watched it a couple times since buying the "20th Anniversary Special Edition" DVD a couple years ago. to be honest, i still love it. it's definitely cheesy in places, but for the most part i still love the characters and storylines, and it still feels like there are consequences. and, i may or may not have…

does the grill need to be above a certain size to be able to realistically contain the pork shoulder, pans for water, and enough charcoal to go 6+ hours with only one refill? i have an 18.5" Weber, wondering if this is feasible for me.

i don't know if it's still on the menu, but i had a burger with "real" onion rings on it at Chef Geoff's (near 13th & F, close to Metro Center) a couple years ago - it was *outstanding*.

"I resent that comment" - Kyle Orton

dammit, i thought i searched the comments thoroughly before posting the same thing about 15 minutes ago.

Suppose a Tomlin-esque incident happens in the Super Bowl with no time left in the game and the returning team down by 4, where a coach or player on the sideline tackles the return man to prevent a surefire touchdown. Do they award the victim team a TD? Also, what kind of punishment does the sideline offender receive?

So, I initially wrote a rather long and tetchy reply to your comment, and then I realized that I honestly can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not. So I'm just going to post this instead.

This is the one I use.

I was momentarily confused when the article mentioned Northwest and Continental as currently existing airlines.

...you mean the river that cuts right through the heart of 'Skins country?
