As a Wings fan, this is the correct take.

Literally exactly what I said.

Red Wings fan here. Lived through the Dead Things years, and a couple decades of irrelevance.

I’m thinkin’ Arby’s!

The Pen is Mightier

Shooting roman candles at each other was the best childhood game. Shooting bottle rockets at each other was a close second.

Once it was obvious that Belichick was shifting into the actual defense after the QB’s helmet mike dies at the 15-second mark, how tough is it to run the play before then? You still have 25 seconds to get to the line, call the play, and go.

Kill the “h”, and let the class warfare BEGIN!

Metro Detroiter here - genuinely happy for JV.  He was quickly becoming the Barry Sanders of the Tigers.  Nice to see him with a ring, and continue to pitch well.  Would have loved for that to be here, but the Tigers’ present team is . . . rebuilding?

I’ve been meaning to ask, with Al gone, did he bequeath his sobriquet to Jerruh? Is Jones now officially “The Cryptkeeper”?

Born and raised! Metro Detroit now, and yes, soggy fried food is horrid. If you’re in the Detroit area, or willing to drive for some OUTSTANDING fish & chips, allow me to heartily recommend Scotty Simpson’s. Been in business since 1950, and serves world class fish. He’s a master of the deep fryer, and hand cuts his…

“I scored the top in perfect 1-inch diagonals, the inserted a single clove into every other diamond. A few rings of pineapple on top, a maraschino cherry or two, and a generous basting of Vernor’s. I gently roasted it at 275 for 6 hours, low and slow, allowing the fat to render out.”

OK, not cooking, but in the same spirit.

You do know speck is already cooked, right?

I love Crüe, but The Dirt was pretty much a waste. I felt sorry for them after watching. They had so much, and threw it all away.

Great article! Fish & chips has always been a favorite of mine, going back to the combo KFC/H. Salt shop on Telegraph Road. When HS closed, no more fish & chips (Big Boy offered it, but they lacked proper fryer skills).

Is it just me, or is O’Brien’s chin dimple looking more and more like the Texan’s logo?

Only once?

Yep, McD’s was my first job. Training was pretty good - videos and tests to get certified on a station. Once certified, you could work it. Tied to hours (more hours if you could work more stations) and pay. The thing was, everyone everywhere was trained the same. So we would staff other stores when they had an…

Tried for one late on Friday afternoon. Line of cars around the building for the drive-thru, with an employee standing in the parking lot telling everyone they were already out of the sandwich.
