Yeah. If you’re gonna be evil, go full supervillain.  It’s hard to take grown men throwing temper tantrums seriously.

We bailed on cable about six months ago. We’d previously had Netflix, and then supplemented it with Hulu with Live TV. Hulu with Live TV has been great. Wide selection of garbage reality TV for my wife, has Disney & Nick for my younger kids, solid selection of live sports. It has a pretty deep on-demand library of old…

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. There aren’t the overwhelming obligations, expectations and family drama that come with Christmas and Thanksgiving. The candy is on par with Easter, but the holiday itself is nowhere near as formal and stuffy. There’s way less sweating and bug bites than 4th of July, Memorial…

Fresh Swedish Fish can be wonderful. I love the flavor, and the texture (when fresh) is the perfect balance of chewiness and melt-in-your-mouth. But they don’t age well at all. Stale Swedish Fish will damn near remove fillings.

The marital sex analogy for voting I would use is that it happens infrequently and is usually about as exciting as watching Sunday morning political talk shows. But if you get it for Tuesday night dinner and with occasional fireworks...more power to you.

Though, in fairness - I did recently fire my lawn service because they were literally my only bill I had left that required me to use stamps and paper checks.

And these are 12 of the reasons things have gone off the rails.

The claim that the migrants are bringing leprosy to the US just makes me wonder what kind of idiots this message is actually targeted at. I mean, leprosy is already here. It’s carried by armadillos in the southeast. But the thing is... it’s not particularly virulent, and it’s pretty easily treated before it becomes…

My wine on a budget tip: Lindeman’s. Here in FL, it’s usually $6 a 750 ml bottle, and you can get it at just about all the big grocery chains. While I do prefer their cabernet and their shiraz - mostly because I like red wine better than white - their chardonnay isn’t offensive (which, for $6 a bottle, is about all…

Every time I ask if there’s a point in hearing the other side out, I see shit like that. And it affirms the wisdom of staying in my echo chamber, lest I be tempted to beat some cretin severely with the nearest sharp, heavy object when they say something that fucking idiotic.

I’d much rather my middle & high school aged kids put some thought/effort into fun costumes, trick or treat around the neighborhood with their friends on Halloween, and then come back to the house with them to watch cheesy old monster movies while eating enough candy to put someone into a diabetic coma than have them…

I get that The Doctor is all about finding humane, non-violent solutions...but isn’t the large number of giant spiders still roaming around the hotel, and all of Sheffield, still a major threat - especially since the toxic soup that produced the giant spiders is still brewing under the hotel?

So...it’s a device from a manufacturer with no experience supporting cell phones, has last year’s processor, offers a bunch of weird 3d effects that are only supported by proprietary software, can take 3d photos/videos that can only be seen in 3d by other Red 4view devices and it only takes passable (not outstanding)…

It might have made for a cool deleted scene on a special edition Blu-ray, but cutting it from the theatrical release was probably for the best.

For the sake of the arresting officers’ careers, it probably would have had some bad optics. But had they waited a few more minutes to call for EMS, and he had bled out from his wounds sustained in the fight...I wouldn’t be particularly sad.

With a last name of “Sayoc,” I would have guessed Filipino.

Well, his best work really was on Parks and Rec.

How did the actor who has the range to go from Darkman to Oskar Schindler to Rob Roy to Qui-Gon Jinn end up getting typecast as the angry dude exacting revenge on the people who harmed his family?  That seems like such a weird spot to park your career. 

I’ll take “bankrupt very shortly after his 15 minutes of fame are up” for $300, Alex.

Goddamn Illinois Nazis.
