A robot called McPerson?

Yeah, I'm not trying to evangelise you to cooking, but one of the joys of cooking that others haven't mentioned is modifying or creating new recipes.

If we're going to make fun of Indonesian dish names, nothing beats the day I saw a restaurant that had misspelled bami goreng on the menu so you could order bambi goreng.

Did you try cracking the eggs before pouring them into the pan? I find that works better.

Is that you, Anakin?

Well, if those buns were consecrated…

My school was so posh they served champagne and oysters on quidditch days.

Being known as a drinker was probably the least politically damaging character flaw. Gives the press something to rage about without seriously interfering with his job.

I wish this were true. The evidence suggests there is a large group of angry, anti-intellectual arseholes with a huge and unearned sense of entitlement who absolutely adore Trump.

"Under-acting" is probably taking things too far, but you're right that Shatner as Kirk was not the scenery chewer he became in Boston Legal and other late-career performances. (Although, to be fair, he did bring a bit of the old ham to the ST movies…)
