Unfortunately for you, I'm not above editing out my drunk typos…

I saw a full season. That's not nothing. I've seen more of this show than almost any other show on television. If someone wants to argue that it went massively downhill after the first season, then I will have to defer. But otherwise, I'll defend the show based on…the show.

I never got past the first season of Girls, because my wife wasn't that into it, but I liked it and think Lena Dunham is brave and talented. Come at me bros…

This list was shorter than I expected it to be, but at least it introduced me to Jewcano:

GODDAMNIT. I plead drunkseys. Borracho no vale.

But let's please agree on the merits on Sunday drinking. A toast to us!

Fair enough. I still think this list is tellingly mediocre. These things are fine. They don't merit the fervor that Bernie seems to elicit. I very much disagree that attempting to pass stuff wins you any points.

Bookmarked to read later. But just skimming the first few paragraphs is a reminder that…a lot of his stuff really sucked. I read Airframe for some reason, and I grant that he clearly knew how to hit his beats in a pulp story. But the thing had such an embarrassingly obviously agenda, it barely qualified as a novel.

I know, man this is something I'd like to see.

I really don't come into this with any strong opinions on Bernie, but jesus this list sure isn't the type of thing to turn me into a Berliever.* Great, he's an effective small-town mayor. The dude's been a senator for a decade. What else you got?

Most butthurt guy ever ^^

Hey, hey — whose the pedant here?

I advise you to avoid the chicken Caesar at all costs, then.

yay! I feel like malt is one of those weird throwback items, like ovaltine, that isn't likely to be around for much longer, so go get some now. I'm totally craving it.

I get the feeling that Vin Diesel is a stark reminder that "celebrities, they're people too!" and people for the most part are pretty fucking stupid.

I used to drink that as a kid when I couldn't sleep, except that I'd also add some powdered malt. Depending on where you stand on malt, this probably sounds either amazing or disgusting.

Another tip on MSG: it comes from yeast (which is why things like brewer's yeast and marmite have a savory flavor), so if you see see "hydrolyzed yeast extract" in an ingredient list, it basically just means that your food has been enhanced with, you guessed it, Frank Stallone. I mean MSG.

Hot take: the Avengers movies are just an upgraded version of the Transformers movies, and nearly as soulless.

Some people actually do have MSG sensitivity, but the vast majority of people who claim to are full of shit. The fact is, MSG is a naturally occurring substance that shows up in everything, so the people who have a true sensitivity will generally know it. Those who claim to get headaches only after eating Chinese food

I agree with article generally (especially the MSG stuff, praise Jesus), but "salt is salt" is overstating things a bit. My understanding is that there is basically no way you're going to detect a flavor difference between different kinds of salt, but the textural differences are (obviously) quite real. The crunchy
