The souls arriving in Hell via a complicated series of pneumatic tubes: Futurama callback, or no?

I was going to suggest “luscious.”

Checking in a week later to say that I tried this on the strength of this review (I am typically laser-focused on my reliably adequate Crunchy Taco Supreme) and found it as tasty as advertised.  Thank you for your service!

My pick for the most underrated band of the ‘90s is Soundgarden, because they were the greatest band of the ‘90s by a considerable margin but are not widely regarded as such.  Give them the crown!  GIVE IT!

It’s funny, because most of my favorite places are those Greek diner-style restaurants where the menu covers the whole front wall and the attitude is “I’ve got a fryer, a grill, and an oven and I’m prepared to make anything I can cook on one of those in 10 minutes or less.” Sometimes I want a burrito and cheese fries,…

Wendy’s Big Bacon Classic remains their best burger and I keep hoping against hope it will someday return. The Baconator delivers bacon and cheese in sufficient quantities but lacks the roughage for contrast; the Junior Bacon Cheeseburger is too small (even in its Double incarnation), and ordering two of them gives…

My understanding was that a lot of kosher rules aren’t specifically prohibited by any particular law, it’s just a lot of erring on the side of caution.

Q.v. “You’re All I’ve Got Tonight.”

There was, however, a rumor (accidentally?) started by the NYC police commissioner during a press conference that Holmes had claimed to be the Joker while being arrested. Other spurious details were offered reinforcing this impression but were subsequently debunked. It got to the point where fellow inmates while…

In fairness to your date, Noodles & Company (the chain) is built around that exact assumption.

I really enjoyed the first one I saw, especially the extended version with the guy being tailed by a mysterious clown, finding open ketchup packets in his shirt pockets, and his wife seething, “These Nacho Fries are CONSUMING you!” The second one (which seemed to be riffing on Interstellar or Contact or something) wasn…

It was the Metal Masters Tour, with Testament, Heaven and Hell (the briefly-reunited Dio-fronted incarnation of Black Sabbath) and Judas Priest as the headliners.  It was probably the best festival show I’ve ever been to!

If stoner/doom is your jam, I can recommend a few Mixcloud podcasts you might enjoy:

Seconded, and VERY glad I took the opportunity to see Motörhead in 2008.

I apologize for momentarily being the guy who does this, but — was it necessary to include the word “fat” in this story of a person being lazy and inconsiderate? It doesn’t connect to any of the other details, so if habit is the only reason you dropped it in, this may be a good way to make that .000000001% improvement…

A day later, this has probably already been said multiple times, but as a person of an ethnic persuasion (I only LOOK like a boring white guy! OK, I am a boring white guy, but an uncommon type!) I have had to spell both my given name (which is in the goddamn Bible and yet none of these so-called Christians can spell…

My head-canon for that decision is that they wanted to make sure they didn’t fall out of step with the “zeitgeist” surrounding a show. Take 13 weeks to discuss a show that dropped all at once, and that’s 12 extra weeks you have to police spoilers in the comments, among other concerns.

I marveled at that potato toss too -- if I remember right, it was even an underhand throw!

Jeez, look at Alfred Eisenstein over here with his fancy prounciation!

My take is, wouldn’t it be worse if the infidelity that destroyed your relationship was just a passing fling for your ex? This way you can say that the only thing that could tear her from your arms was True Love. I’m not seeing how a situation where she e.g. dumps the other dude two weeks later and goes on to an…
