I know a guy who makes his own version of this with aluminum foil in his bathtub. Calls it Tinschlager.

Shit on a Bricklin. 

That’s the secret. This grocery store gets gems in (both limited releases and hard to find regulars) and, while I’m sure other dorks have figured this out, I tell nobody.

I’ve discovered that, much as I like to support local stores, the big boxes and grocery chains tend to have the freshest stuff. Binny’s and the Jewel seem to cycle through stuff (even though the Jewel doesn’t have an enormous selection and doesn’t usually have the harder to find stuff, I can still get good stuff

Might have been fake. A couple years ago I saw an interview with Keri Russell, where she was describing how Matthew Rhys* had to pick out a fake snake for a nude scene he was doing on another show. I only remember this because she said he was worried he’d pick one that was too big, and people would just say “Man, what

Yes, possibly. I’m not a redditor, or even a regular site visitor. I just remembered seeing some really nasty stuff there. 

ISTR there’s a reddit about this. Or maybe I’m just remembering stuff from just rolled into the shop. 

People not being prepared is what usually happens to me when I try and use a drive up ATM. My nearest bank branch has a machine in the lobby, and if there’s more than two cars in line at the drive up I’ll just park and go in - because invariably everyone’s trying to cash a check, has to do like three transfers, is

I noticed that the Gremlin’s plates were different from the other cars in the video - are you allowed to keep using old plates in New York state? (Similar to how you could keep using old plates on your car in California - black plates, blue plates, etc.)

Is it my imagination, or does BoJack’s slide into addiction kind of start at the first party? “Well, okay, I guess one drink couldn’t hurt” says to me that he wasn’t much of a partier early in his career. 

You’re not missing anything. In-n-Out is fine, but it’s not earth shattering. Chik-Fil-A is extremely average - I ate there exactly one time, when they opened one near me and everyone was talking about it (before it became a political statement) and the best thing I could think of to describe it was “it was food”.

I just noticed that the window in Mary Beth’s office is curved, which means it’s probably in the clock tower of the What Time Is It Now? building.

Fantastic bit of world building. I should really re-watch the whole series.

Do they not have a Spencer’s Gifts in this town? (Please don’t shame me if Spencer’s is actually out of business. I’m old.)

I never experienced that, but I’ve had to mop up shit footprints in a number of public restrooms at the stores I’ve worked at. Never the men’s room, always the women’s. Had one of ‘em get a fair distance into the store before the shitprints wore off. (In an attempt to be charitable I imagine it’s a spilled daiper

TIL there are still some KMarts open.

I can tell you why they got hugely popular all of a sudden - that was when Krispy Kreme decided to do a huge expansion outside of the southeastern US. Before that they were something your vacationing relatives told you about after they got back from someplace like Nashville.

RE: Cake donuts. There’s a local independent grocery store near me that has it’s own in house bakery, and they make black and white donuts. These are cake donuts, half dipped in real chocolate, half dipped in whatever the hell white chocolate is. So you end up with a hard shell protecting the cake donut, and it’s

I like the sound of Dah Sahnee. Though Walgreen’s own brand is called “Nice!”, which means I could call myself “Noice!”

I might also recommend a watch of “Grand Prix: The Killer Years” for more insight into just how dangerous motorsports was during this time, and how drivers coped with it. (It focuses more on the sixties and seventies, and it’s final scene is super dark). 

Much drier soil, plus, as another poster mentioned, the ground in southern California doesn’t freeze. Freezing causes contraction and expansion, among other movements, which will grind against the car.
