“This is my Mission Impossible, but my guy doesn’t keep his arms all stiff when he runs.”

Maybe Nolan and McQuarrie can arrange to share a scene in each of their movies where Cruise and Washington run past each other at top speed in opposite directions on a busy Berlin street, acknowledging each other with a quick…

I love this show, too. I’m glad that they are getting to end it according to plan. And I like that the show has been about a different stage in Brockmire’s journey each season and has really allowed for him to change. It has given us a whole new template for the “asshole behaves like an asshole, but learns a lesson,…

Entire towns, even. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dateland,_Arizona

I’m fully expecting it to be A John Waters Christmas: Filthier and Merrier, which I am going to see tonight.

If I have to pick one that already happened, maybe it was PPL MVR opening for The Aquabats, which was just something totally unexpected and crazy and wonderful.

Around Christmas, when they sell all the gift-packaged booze, you used to be able to pick up a pack that included bottles of Kahlua and Peppermint Schnapps. It was advertised as a Pattymint. It was a perfect combination to pour into hot chocolate.

I had one of these yesterday. I agree with your assessment of the burger patties. My patties were not quarter-pounder juicy but dry and crumbly. The onions were crisp and the barbeque sauce was fine, but I was actually impressed by the bun. It wasn’t the spongy bread I associate with McDonald’s, but something a little…

In other craft brewery news, San Diego’s Ballast Point was sold to small Illinois craft brewer Kings & Convicts:

Awwwwww....   I’ll miss your writing, especially the informative beer columns, and I’ll look for you wherever else you may go.   Happy trails!

On #2, I believe we are supposed to be alarmed by the sudden turn, but it doesn’t come out of nowhere. Early in the episode, we again get to see the movie with Bass Reeves and hear the message “Trust in the Law”. So William first joins the police force, assuming the law will be used for justice. When that fails him,…

Perhaps it’s the site of an underground bunker where they maintain the secret menu.

Chefs flown in daily on unregistered flights from west L.A. airfields. Full CBRN protections in case the protein/animal-style 5x5 reaches critical mass or becomes sentient.

I’ll second (or third) the Brubaker/Phillips recommendation. I’ll buy anything they put out, and I’ll even reach back for their “Sleeper” which was a crime/noir story set in the superhero universe - A super-powered individual goes into deep cover in a super-criminal syndicate - which is terrific.

The only positive spin I can see being put on this offer is that, as BAC is tied to body mass (although affected by other factors), the bar is offering all women the opportunity to get equally sloshed.

Aww, man. I am as excited about a good “Nimona” adaptation as any Marvel property.

I wanna fight Brad Meltzer when I drink Bud Light Seltzer.

That’s something else I’ve waited in line for: The Ramen Burger stall at Smorgasburg a few years back when it was a Thing.

I waited in line maybe 20 minutes for Liao Fan Hawker Chan at the Chinatown Food Centre in Singapore. The place is semi-famous for being the cheapest restaurant to earn a Michelin star. I would say half the people waiting in line were white people, and half of them were taking selfies of themselves in line. So it’s…

He’s not the hero what we deserved, but the hero what we needed!

Does anyone remember Ed’s Cave Creek Chili Beer? It’s a Mexican-style lager with an actual chili pepper in the bottle. And it did have some serious spice to it, from what I remember. We bought this a few times in college, which would have been back in 1991 or 1992, before the craft revolution took hold. It was a…

I absolutely love Stone’s Xocoveza. I haven’t had the Abraxas, but I will be on the lookout for it. At 11.5% vs 8.1% for the Stone, it must certainly make a statement.

Now that’s interesting. With the “You’ll never wait so long” line, I always thought it was a sort-of follow up to Velvet Underground’s “I’m Waiting For My Man”. Like he was singing about going to some sketchy railroad yard to get his fix, and “Take me away to nowhere plains” and such were about the drug trip.

I guess…
