The Post-Colonial Mash-Up?

Hey, what about what they did to us?

Apparently so do Mexicans, because Taco Bell opened a store in Mexico City about 15 years ago, and it did boffo business. It's not too surprising, considering how we Americans go crazy for the bastardization that McDonald's calls a hamburger.

Did they recently have a Cuban sandwich, or was that somewhere else?

There are plenty of non-Vietnamese in Dallas.

YES! They have to be prepared separately, as stand-alone dishes that just happen to be on the same plate together due to curious circumstance. It's like those old Resse's Peanut Butter Cup ads, that tried to explain how chocolate and peanut butter just happened to get thrown together by accident throughout history…

It's more of a big-city thing. I'm unclear as to whether it was in New York, Chicago, or LA. Anyway, apparently it originated with late-night revelers in black neighborhoods who were headed home at that magic hour of bad judgment that's on the border between "way too late at night" and "way too early in the…

@avclub-5f6a9f5130f01738ca241e16bf0b6c61:disqus is being an American the 100% correct way!

What, was it fake estate? It was a dead man's belongings. That's a kind of estate!

Hey, take it up with Tesco Vee. Your problem isn't with me.

All of Season 7 so far is a hallucination. Megan being in California? The secretary saying, "Oh, I didn't even know he [Don] was married"? The weird arrangement that Don agreed to in order to come back? All totally a hallucination. He actually had a stroke during that Hershey meeting in Season 6, and has been in…

It would be like "Light My Fire," which is a pretty good song in its full length, but is a jumbled abortion in its shortened length.

Oh, you better believe that's a paddlin'.

Dylan can just get away with anything. Look at his whole life, and tell me he's not lived a charmed one. He's done some great stuff, no doubt, but he's also done stuff that, if anyone else did a single one of them, they'd be abandoned by friends, disowned by family, forever unemployable, and probably refused medical…

He wouldn't have the balls to diss "Puff" if Pete Seeger were still alive. 'Cause Seeger would come to his house and sing it to him soft and gentle, and make him ashamed for ever having a negative thought about it.

Hey, it's all keys.

Would you say that to Doc Gooden?

Eh, I like the description of "musical herpes." It's way more insidious than "earworm."

Had he done that, I would be forced to say, "It's a mistake."

Oh, I like Bourdain, but he's still a poser after all these years. Total New Jersey boy still trying to be more Manhattan than born-and-bred Manhattanites. Like I say, I love him, but his insecurities about his New-York-ness are right out there on his sleeve.
