Tortellini feels like a stroke of genius! But then I read the ‘recipe’. It’s just dry plain tortellini? No cream sauce? No vinaigrette or something? Not even cooked in with the eggs?

Just a palm-mounted dart where you slap people on the shoulder. The sting of the slap will hide the shot until you’re long gone!

Ehh, I’ve seen 300, but it has admittedly been a little while.

Yeah, her arc was so weak. As she said, “I wubs yoo Dave Bautista!” I said, “Ope, she’s so dead now.” I didn’t think it’d be three seconds later!

I have a Logitech 933 headset, and Dolby 7.1 headphones can be incredible. Years ago, I was in one of the hectic firefights that happen all the time in Borderlands 2, and I realized I was hearing where enemies were in a natural way and reacting without having to see behind me. I’ve been sold ever since.

Quiet chuckling is basically the highest-level laughing I can get to while reading, and this one got me there.  Genuinely useful review on top of it. 

I stayed at a hostel in Edinburgh many years ago. Every morning they served a Full Breakfast with all the fixings like haggis and black sausage and baked beans. Every day they served the egg, like, medium rare - the whites weren’t even solidified. On the last day there I asked, “Can I get the egg cooked until the yolk…

Splenda makes a decent brown sugar replacement, just remember all quantities should be halved according to packaging directions.

There’s a hipster bar in my area that is nearly impossible to enjoy, due to crowds and their complete lack of acoustic deadening (opting instead for concrete and glass on all six sides of the room). That said, I go back all the time (COVID notwithstanding) due to their pretzel and cheese options. Gigantic Bavarian-styl…

You’re not wrong. I wasn’t 100% paying attention at this point in the series, but I had the impression that he was all, “Oh NO! My homeworld and everyone I care about just got Death Starred! ... Anyway, let’s do some hijinks!”

My money is that they never were chipped. Like, they were never expected to get out of the vat so no one bothered.

From what I read, yes it wasn’t as well embraced as Rebels so that was hard to overcome. Secondly though, the timeline of Force Awakens and Last Jedi didn’t allow for any interstitial time for a TV show to squeeze in like Clone Wars had, and they struggled to figure that out too.

Hold on, Michael. I find it very hard to believe that you’re not acquainted with the phrase “Drank the Kool-Aid” and its meaning.

I say this all the time when toddlers shoot themselves or others.  It’s 100% negligence on someone’s part.  No bullet is fired blamelessly.

I work in situations where the ambient noise often requires earplugs. Proper mask use basically makes communication impossible. I always knew that I lip-read my way through things but the virus really showed how much.

Back in the beginning it was reported that they were welding doors shut, not just locking people in.  I wonder now if that was true, it feel like something from a movie.

Well I googled it from the T-shirt: MMAMCV is “Millions March Against Mandatory Corona Vaccination” Lovely straw man they’ve got there. The second bit it just 2021 in Roman numerals, which kudos for the design choice I guess.

My weird thing isn’t really all that surprising once you think about it.

I hope we get a write-up on the fantastic sequel to this one - it’s got it all. Artificial hearts! Rednecks eaten alive! Cold war military porn!

July 9? Eff the streaming, I’m goin’ to the movies.  I’ll wave my vaccine passport/Mark Of The Beast at anyone who asks to see it.
