I think it originated in the UK since it’s rhyming slang. I know I’ve only ever read it in British magazines, and I’ve never heard anyone actually say it. 

Dude, I want one now! 

ISTR (from period magazine reviews) that the suspension tuning and handling of the X-90 was different from the Sidekick, and it just didn’t drive as well out of the box. Combine that with it’s way less practical bodywork and I can see why it was considered a bit of a joke. CAR Magazine ran it’s initial review of the…

Is it adopted mother or is she the legal guardian? ISTR that she had guardianship over all the kids except Lip because he was over 18. Though I guess that’s functionally the same thing.

It occurs to me that whenever Frank is in a government office, everyone knows him by first name. DCFS is probably the same way.

I actually wonder if, with all the drama the Gallaghers have had in the past (haven’t some of the kids ended up in foster care? Carl certainly was, he showed his girlfriend* the halfway house he stayed in), if one of them goes in and applies to be a foster parent, and gives the address of the house they’ve lived in…

It suddenly occurs to me that you’re exactly right - the show was kind of sold as being about this drunk guy and his dysfunctional family, but it was really about Fiona’s struggles to keep things together and still grow. Frank could’ve been written out very early on - he’s there because Macy still has the biggest…

Spilt beer nets a thought and a prayer.

The Regal of Dorian Gray?

This was actually a plot point in a book I read (I forget which one, but it was by Jasper Fforde). A character had a car that always remained pristine, and in the trunk was a portrait of the car that kept getting more decrepit. 

Shazam failed me - what is the song playing in this video at the beginning? 

I seriously thought this show had been canceled in like 2005.

You should get the direct deposit, it’s super convenient. Just bring a canceled check to the next protest, and stop at the kiosk. Takes about two pay periods but it’s totally worth it. 

Welp, the poster was from California. It seems whenever there’s an article about Chipotle, it’s full of commenters from California saying the same thing. I’m rather surprised there wasn’t some variation of “I guess it’s fine if you live in the Midwest/South/East where there aren’t any AUTHENTIC Mexican restaurants”.

I once read a comment from a woman who claimed that compact only spaces were “unfair”. Like, it wasn’t fair that she couldn’t park her truck in a spot closer to whatever building she was going to. Nothing about how the vehicle wouldn’t actually fit there anyway (of course, her truck would fit just fine!), it was just…

Honestly? It’s not worth paying for just Grand Tour. It looks pretty but it’s pretty lame a lot of the time. However, it’s worth getting Prime to watch the tons of other stuff on offer - I consider GT to be a small bonus to having Prime (I don’t buy enough stuff from Amazon to make the occasional free shipping pay for…

The top photo appears to be from his reboot of the Charmin commercials.

Mac & Cheese with sausage is the best. I’ve got a great recipe for skillet mac with Italian sausage that’s just fantastic. That said I’ve sure added it to boxed mac as well.

My other favorite boxed mac add is a dollop of pesto (I like the Buitoni brand but whatever you dig). Mix it in with the cheese and it adds a…

I think it’s obviously superimposed, I’m just not sure if they shot each actor separately, or if they’re all standing on green screen boxes together in a group.

I don’t mind the Goldbergs particularly - I don’t watch a whole lot of major network tv anymore (I’m just not home much and I don’t have the time to DVR stuff and watch it anymore), but it was fine when it was on. I’m just surprised that they’d try a spinoff of it - from what I recall, none of the secondary characters…

I can’t tell if it’s a group shot that’s been superimposed on the picture of the old truck, or if it’s a bunch of individual pictures of each person superimposed on the picture of the old truck. 

Wait, theres a Goldbergs spinoff?
