Then, early in the second set, he’s recorded telling the ball girl that she’s “fantastic,” “very sexy,” and asks her if she feels “hot ... physically or emotionally.”

Cool.  Keep liking your own posts.

After that press conference, DeTrumpeau acknowledged there was a corruption problem in Washington, but, of course, not one that involved him in any way. “A lot of it’s the Deep State bureaucrats. A lot of it’s the Democrats,” he said. 

Putting Kevin Spacey in the Porsche would work while staying true to the (film) original.

Time to start the Giannis tampering campaign see what Kostas Antetokounmpo can do !

Did not know about the test-marketing in Canada angle; I always read that fast food chains like testing in Columbus, Ohio because its socio-economic-racial demographics as well as its spread-out, strip-mall-y layout made it a close microcosm for the US as a whole.

My friends from Ohio always brag about how they get the…

I can’t wait for NBC to revive “The Biggest Non-Automatic Qualifier” as part of their mid-season shakeup.

Hey McDonalds, just give us a proper McAloo Tikki and/or a halloumi burger and we’ll call it quits.

I think we’re talking past each other. In your case, I assume you’re talking about “authenticity” within the context of: non-cauliflower crust pizzas; diner burgers rather than those using Pat LaFrieda meat, 6 exotic toppings, on a brioche; Folger’s black coffee instead of frappuccinos.

That’s fine...but hearing…

Thanks for the tip, but I don’t agree with that. Boomers deserve blame for a lot of things, but not on the question of “authenticity.” The debate there cuts across generational lines but skews younger, since demonstrating one’s knowledge of and adherence to gastronomic authenticity is a key part of legitimizing one’s…

“Authenticity” is problematic because it assumes that a particular dish can somehow be preserved at some specific point in time, free from technological or social changes that impact ingredient choices or methods of preparation. Can we imagine Italian cuisine without tomatoes from the New World? Bahn mis without…

Yeah but Judge has an unfair advantage. At 6'7", the guy obviously has a big heart.

Had this sentiment towards Dunlap been expressed as a Dead Letter instead of a tweet, the très haute-tech (Cajun patois) forensics would’ve found the culprit via the signature of the one station idiot who uses a T-Mobile 4G LTE Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.

1) I believe you meant to respond to jamberg with the comment re. the NFL rookie wage scale.

2) No, the problem with the NFL is the lack of guaranteed contracts or any semblance of security longer than a season.

Minimum contracts are the symptom, not the problem: it’s a lot easier to leverage players into minimum…

Donald Trump is a pathological liar.

I can’t speak much to the NFL since I’ve given up up following it but yeah, the prospects don’t look good: the league has been so good at churning through young players that it’s essentially pulverized the union.

Re. the NBA, I know the Deadspin position is that star players are underpaid and should earn as much as…

Thanks for this!  I didn’t end up going as my August was taken up with quite a few obligations outside of my control, but I had been planing on visiting Steer-In, Oasis Diner, Metro Diner, and Aristocrat Pub.  I’ll keep the state fair in mind next time!

Agreed on your points, and the players’ unions across the NFL, NBA, MLB prioritizing veteran earnings at the expense of rights/power for young players has created ramifications that have hurt the veterans themselves.

To add to the NFL example you gave, the MLB has done it with way too many arbitration years for…

Going in without preconceived notions heightens your senses and allows you to form unbiased gut impressions. It lets your stomach, rather than your mind, lead the conversation, and rewards a la minute cravings.

You’re on a budget.
