If I’m going to climb this far up my own ass

It is a fried flatbread.

“We’re gonna need a bigger definition of a sandwich.”

It was HOT in there!

An F! A glorious F! It’s a Christmas miracle! Thank you, St. Ignatiy! Thank you for the amount and depth of film and literary history to a pan of economics-driven filmic shovelware! I didn’t expect to learn about the provenance of Sherlock Holmes adaptations and original texts. 

So: Ten years ago, an AV Club staff writer filed her final column for the year, making fun of a stupid TV commercial; this prompted a commenter to share two very personal stories and led to other commenters sharing as well. The writer has left, the column is long gone, the commercial no longer airs and the commenter…

Living just down Highway 17 from Monte Sereno, CA, I remember that the Kinkade story was quite the rage when he passed. And even before he passed, he had a less than ideal reputation in the town as an asshole neighbor.

There’s nothing “snotty” about my comment. The artist’s name was misspelled twice - in the headline and in the article (the article, by the way, which contains two links to pages about the artist in question, and include his (correctly-spelled) name at the very top) - I simply pointed it out for them so they could…

everything is a sandwich. tacos are wrap around sandwiches, pop tarts are mushed sandwiches, pizza is an open faced sandwich, pasta is an inside out sandwich, and salad is a deconstructed sandwich

Poutine is a salad.

If I serve a hot dog without a hot dog bun, its still a hot dog. This is not true of tacos, sandwiches, hoagies, or any other meat-between-bread type creations except...hamburgers. Therefore a hot dog is a hamburger.

ok, so maybe we should just start using “better names” for things (same as for animals, where a llama is “giraffe sheep” and skunk is “fart squirrel.”)

Time isn’t a flat circle at all. Its Jeremy Bearimy

I made a thing.

This encouraged me to review my previous position of boycotting them. After reading this:

You realize that AV Club isn’t the only site out there reviewing shows - right? Saying that Daredevil was released to middling reviews as if everyone agreed with your site’s take is ridiculous. Vast majority of publications and viewers had heaps of praise for the 3rd season.

My sense is that this has very little to do with the quality of the show, and everything to do with Disney positioning itself as Netflix’s new biggest competitor, with the Marvel brands as one of its biggest weapons to pry viewers away.
