I say 'aughts.' I also chase kids off my lawn, brandishing a shotgun loaded with rock salt.

Say you have made a film. You are finished shooting and it is time to edit. In the course of that editing, if you find even a single frame containing a single actor wearing an expression even remotely like that one, abandon your enterprise: you have fucked up.

HOW
is "Nia Vardalos vehicle" still a thing? How?

Pretty sure "hench life" was meant to be a direct reference to Tupac Shakur's "Thug Life" tattoo, also on his stomach

I thought it was a photoshopped image of Adam Lambert. Seriously.

Indeed they did.

I used to love Celis, particularly white & grand cru, when I was at UT in the early 90's. If I recall, Miller bought the brewery and killed them off. Recently I saw Celis White on the menu at Pony Bar in Hell's Kitchen, and tried it - more or less as I remember but so many good whites around now, it doesn't stand

Shit, I put "pedantic ass" html tags on that comment in a lame attempt to excuse my lame, pedantic assery, but apparently they were read as markup and not reproduced. Now I just look like a pedantic ass.

Laphroaig is not bicapitalized, as it is not French nor manufactured by Apple.

Had my first Sazerac in October at the (wait for it…) Sazerac Bar in the Roosevelt hotel in New Orleans. After Mrs. Bastardson and I were through with what became our weeklong Sazerac and insanely fatty food bender (best Sazerac - Sazerac Bar, weakest - downstairs bar at Antoine's), I set about getting the mix right

I'll second Tommy - Grouse is one of the best bargains of the Scotch world. If you are partial to Islays, Laphroaig 10 yr. can usually be had for not too much more than Johnnie Black, and is very nice.

I thought I hated Juanito. But I think I love Juanito.

Ah, you mean the fantasy scene where the weak, watered-down ripoff of a character "faces off" against the original character he's based on? Can't see the appeal of that myself.

golf clap.

@Juanito: no, you're the "douche with the pathetic, mid-90's cheesecake avatar"

Yep. Audio dropouts during the first few minutes. Was watching on CNHD, on Cablevision.

I have a strong suspicion that they are working our nerves with Hatred on purpose. Hopefully to make the return of Brock that much sweeter.
