Maybe Drake having Pepsi rather than Coke is a Canadian or a regional thing? Friends I have in Canada swear that U.S. Coke tastes better than U.S. Pepsi but it is the opposite in some places there, with Pepsi being better. Around here I have to admit that I dislike local Coke but like the Coke imported from Mexico, so…

Wasn’t this (or hasn’t this been - is he still around?) Rush Limbaugh’s modus operandi the whole time he was on the air. He would say something, be called out on it, then run and hide claiming that what he said was meant to be satirical or a joke of some kind?

Sorry for a dumb question (or a dumb question with an obvious answer) but, since this cannot have been the first time these police officers have done this*, will all their arrests be looked in to, or is that something everyone in power - D.A., I.A., etc., would choose not to do to avoid vacating arrests, cases,…

(Just to be clear I do not disagree with your point but ...)

If anyone is interested the 1985 CBS miniseries version titled The Atlanta Child Murders is (for now) available to watch on YouTube. Be interesting to compare.

“Trujillo came to the U.S. in 2002. She reportedly fled Mexico because her family was being threatened by cartels. She does not have a criminal record and was legally allowed to work in the U.S.”

Just to be clear, not on the theatre’s side on this at all, plus I have not been to a movie theatre since the True Grit remake came out (though I swear they had small personal devices available for folks who were hearing impaired in some way - or am I thinking of descriptive devices? [ETA Assistive Listening Devices…

I am looking forward to the follow up story where the monkeys break her out, coordinated either in a Mission Impossible type rescue or in a 70's or 80's B horror movie way.

$7.49 a bottle at Trader Joe’s? Ooh la la. Some of us have to live off the $2.99 ($3.99?) per bottle Charles Shaw line.

“Did this ad fail where ‘Hilltop’ succeeded because it’s a shittier campaign, or because we’ve all become more conscious consumers? Ideally, it’s a mix of both...”

Living in North Carolina now, near the coast, and this list is pretty much what I was told to have on hand just in case of major storms, etc. The only other things that were mentioned (though they are probably on the list and I missed them) are at least a week’s worth of whatever scripts you take, if you have pets pet…

I do not care who plays her as long as she is a redhead.

Great, so everyone will claim victory and the worst parts of the bill will still be law because everyone for the most part has been ignoring the worst parts of the bill. This new version of HB2, whatever it will be called, will still take away a ton of rights and protections from folks here in NC and centralize…

I was all “proud” of myself (these days it does not take much) because I recognized all the names again in this DB (except for Thomas Sadoski’s name but I recognized him from his picture so that still counts). Until I went through the comments and realized for some reason I had read the Mindy Kaling and Cory Booker…

Doesn’t it somewhat depend on the car and the road you are on? Never had a ticket or ever really sped in my (straight drive four cylinder) cars or my pick-up. Managed to speed almost every time, even when I tried not to, and get a couple of tickets when I would take my ex’s Probe GT, even with it being a manual, on…

I know (well, I assume/guess) it varies from state to state but, at least here in our area, the “When you have insurance hospitals won’t negotiate on the cost.” is a somewhat accurate statement. Here the hospitals have negotiated prices with only one insurance carrier, are very clear about it upfront, and if you do…

(Seemed appropriate)

I have never seen the original version of The Bridge, but in the U.S. remake the version of Saga Noren, named Sonya Cross, is Autistic. I am not sure about the version of the character in the British adaptation called The Tunnel, though the character, named Elise Wassermann, does exhibit traits of someone on the…

Forgetting that the waiter should have been fired on the spot, just curious what form of identification this genius was accepting as proof of citizenship? I know folks who have U.S. driver’s licenses who are not citizens, folks who own property here (second/vacation homes) but have no US-issued id’s (no need) but…

(Not that this matters at all and yes I am old but ...) Holy hell. I actually recognized every name in this edition of the Dirt Bag. Did not have to look up any of them.
