I think there was still a drive through store on 290 toward Austin a few years ago, near Giddings (which I remember because I had the worst meal of my life there). But I seem to remember noticing it had closed last time I drove that route.

For a long time the open-container law in Louisiana was literally "One fewer than the number of people in the car." See, because that means the driver isn't drinking…

I'm left-handed but left-to-right has always made sense to me, probably because of reading. I did, however, always appreciate it when a game confounded expectations by going right to left. A small victory in a world set to remind you of all the little ways you do things wrong.

I always hated (in a "it was challenging but frustrating" way, not in a "it made me quit" way) that the scrolling locked at the bottom of your current screen, so if you fell, you didn't fall back down to a lower part of the level, you just died.

Yeah, I use a double-monitor desktop, and I have to write a lot of researched articles. It's much the same for me, in that I have the research on the left and my writing on the right.

Based on the actual information in this article, it's more like "Science explains why soft drinks taste wet— you see, it's because humans are used to liquids feeling wet, instead of dry. So, science, and then soft drinks taste like real water and stuff."

Didn't Josh Gad already get his chance with 1600 Penn? Oh, man, I forgot about that upcoming FX show with Billy Crystal.

Especially when he's really over-delivering it. "I did naht heet her. I did NAAAHT. Oh, HAI MARK!"

Cheep cheep cheep!

Can't say the review surprises me. The Room is so great and fascinating because it's not a self-conscious work, because it's Tommy Wiseau's attempt to make a serious, artful, personal drama— the greatness of the viewing experience is in the complete disconnect between what he thought he was making and what is actually

If it's been two years since the virus, that might be long enough for the shelf life on a lot of canned/processed food to expire.

Yeah, the second paragraph encapsulates what I disliked about the episode. I don't mind Phil lusting after Melissa, or even making an ass of himself in doing so, but did he really have to do it in such a clichéd, predictable way?

"Well, this is my first real heavy exposure to Forte."

…hmm, Mel Rodriguez is also listed in the cast. I think I see where next week is going.

It was a little predictable, probably weakest episode so far, but on the other hand, I don't understand the people who complain that Phil isn't likeable enough. I rather like the idea that humanity's last possible hope is kind of a venal loser.

She would have been a good woman, if it had been somebody there to shoot her every minute of her life.

Wayne Gacy.

You didn't even look at it!

After that delivery kid who's name I can't remember said that, I did not expect the next stop to be a roller rink.

I think O was Julia Stiles again, but I never saw it.
