If ketchup is made from tomatoes, then why are there still tomatoes??

Hell yes El Azteca! The licorice candy that they give you with the bill makes any trip there worthwhile.

In the Company of Men: I did a complete double-take. That image is absolutely shot in Fort Wayne, Indiana. How does a movie like this have anything to do with my adopted hometown, why didn't I know about it, and why doesn't the Wikipedia page mention it? The building in the background is the current Indiana Michigan…

I have seen TMBG three times, and they were all fantastic. But the first one will forever stick out in my mind as the greatest: My sister took me for my 16th birthday in 2000 at Newport Music Hall in Columbus, OH, and there were some crazy bad thunderstorms, tornado warnings, etc. The power went out right as they were…

My sister just got my kids some of John Klassen's books, and they are the best. "We Found a Hat" may be my favorite kids' book, period, in terms of its artwork, overall theme, and ability to work on multiple levels. And (spoiler alert) the turtles wear hats! "This Is Not My Hat" is just as good, but way darker.

Bowie played Vet's Memorial in Columbus in 2004 when I was in college at Ohio State. One of my roommates went, but for some reason I decided not to. Thanks for reminding me about one of my life's greatest regrets.

While Bill Clinton plays the sax?

That was Independence Day.

I was probably 8 years old and I had a friend over to spend the night. Return of the Jedi was on TV, and we watched it in the background as we played with Legos. At the time, I remember both of us agreeing that it must have been a "Star Wars meets The Ewoks" crossover special, and neither of us realized that "The…

Katie Rife, it's the Wexner Center as in "Les," not Wexler as in "Kim."

I grew up in West Virginia, and the "fancy" options were Olive Garden, Red Lobster, and Chi-Chi's. When the town got an Outback Steakhouse, things changed forever.

Best level ever is from Super Mario Bros. 3, I want to say Level 5-10? The one where you have to melt the black piranha plants out of the ice blocks with fire and then turn them into coins to go down the pipe where you get the hammer suit out of the enormous question mark brick. The process to get the suit and then…

Nice avatar!

Full disclosure: birder here! Bald Eagles kind of suck. I see them eating roadkill more often than not. When a Bald Eagle nest in my town got taken over by Great Horned Owls last year, I privately cheered. Everyone else thought it was the worst thing possible.

My 3-year-old son is much more interested in turning any possible empty receptacle into a garbage can, so his attention span for movies is pretty much non-existent. We have tried to watch The Lego Movie and Finding Nemo, and he begins playing garbage man midway through the opening scenes in both.

This reminds me of the time I had to keep myself from crying in the movie "Zombieland" when they describe Columbus, Ohio as being destroyed since that is where I am from. I was 28.

The best was to have one digger make pit, have every Lemming fall into it, and then when they were all concentrated in there hit the "nuke" button. The resulting explosion would usually be enough to remove half of the ground in the immediate vicinity.

In sixth grade I let my friend borrow my copy of Odelay. He moved to New York, and I never got it back.

I stand by the assertation that "[Insert Name of a Smiths Song]" comma "Charlie Brown" makes for some great titles. I'll start: "Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now, Charlie Brown."

So in the UK they are bought by people who are 40ish and don’t like to share their feelings… Couldn’t you just say “in the UK they are bought by people who are 40ish,” stop there, and describe exactly the same population?
