That Gondor thing is phenomenal.  Gotta look through the rest of this stuff, thanks for sharing!

No more than I’m going to try garden-fresh heirloom tomatoes for the fortieth goddamn time expecting a magical new result.

The biggest thing New Haven has going for it isn’t what allegedly makes it its own distinct “style” (it’s just super thin, yeah? OK, cool, that’s a thing that sometimes you want instead of other styles, but there’s nothing that makes it consistently better in some way, except...), it’s the innovation of pairing clams,…

it can taste a little plastic-y and gummy to the unaccustomed palate.

If you’re a homebrewer and thus not producing tons of it a year, is it compostible?  

They can have both. They’ve been having both for decades now, and the magic thing is they can have both just by saying both. That, more than anything else, is the scary thing. Everyone thinks 1984 was about Russia, but that’s only because they said “1984 is about commies, nothing to see here!” And they got away with…

I mean, I watched this game relatively closely and still missed that this was why the guy had to go get another stick. So yeah, it is.

If that’s all true, then even a socialist who isn’t a deeply unlikeable, hypocritical narcissist should get votes, yes?

Um, what do you mean “weird?”

Everyone is hammered

...but with enough violence to still keep that part of the audience engaged. But maybe in a more thoughtful way. There’s a big difference between finding out Tywin Lannister doesn’t actually shit gold vs. watching Young Diziet get traumatized by the casual, even amused use of knife missiles on a murderous horde of…

That’s a good one that I’m gonna have to steal and use everywhere.

Alright, something I have in common with Martha Stewart.

A texture aversion is hard to get past, so this isn’t me saying “Hey, try it X way, you’ll like it I just know you will!” That said... my own seasoning preference includes sauerkraut and cayenne pepper. They can be done quite tastily if you decide to tie up blandness in an abandoned warehouse and go Mr. Blonde on its…

What makes me sadder is that Flanders is nothing next to the reality. What’s the inverse of Poe’s Law? I mean something like there is no satire so over-the-top that some real-life nutbag won’t eventually top it, but totally in earnest.

Oh, cripes, I forgot about my other one. Literally every single time that I ate non-breakfast food from McDonald’s between the ages of 6 and 14 I got what felt like some kind of food poisoning. The first time I had to go to the hospital and get an IV following severe dehydration. Another time I totally ruined a…

When I was a kid my mom would give us sliced up bananas in a little bowl of orange juice (eat it like cereal) to get us our complement of fruit for breakfast. One morning I ran late and this was all I had to eat before my friend’s mom picked me up to carpool to school.

So you go to McDonald’s for breakfast, and you rightly pick the sausage, but you get the McMuffin and not the biscuit? It was right there!

Nah. The whole sequence is pretty cool tho.
