This is a good topic. If James Bond is a lizard-brain self-indulgent aspirational fantasy for men, what is the female equivalent of that? That’s the movie that should get made, rather than a gender-swapped James Bond.

It puts me in mind of the “strong female character” archetype from 90's comics, where male writers…

This combination was supposed to alleviate indigestion and excessive farting.

I’ve made a McLuther, where you substitute a split maple bar for the McRib bun. If you put fries in it, its a SoCal McLuther. And, yes, your hands get sticky eating it, but not any more sticky than when eating a regular McRib.

I can’t wait for the collision of the extremely on-line and the barely on-line to occur when a local news station has to report on this new viral teen snack “whose name we can’t repeat on the air” and interviews an assistant manager at the AMC, who begs the public to stop making pissy shitties because the bucket…

A big name for a big album! I’m excited for this one. It should also contain “Certainty”, which is my favorite of the new tracks they have dropped.

The gold leaf was always one of the main attractions of drinking Goldschlager for me and my friends. We would play act, “Look at me! I am so decadent, for I am drinking gold!” (I am sure we insufferable to anyone not in on the joke.) But a shot of Goldschlager, aka Decadence, has become a New Year’s Eve tradition for…

I was wondering about the album title and whether it was a reference to Laurel Canyon or the various artists that worked there, but according to an interview with Pitchfork, Laurel Hell is an Appalachian term referring to dense laurel thickets that one can get stuck in.

Sounds like the perfect accompaniment to my friend’s version of the Luther Burger: A McRib patty with a split maple bar as the bun.

Hah! I want to believe they had a three-hour meeting about this in the newsroom, arguing just which parts and how much of the penis needed to be blurred.

“Now I hear that some trick-or-treaters are receiving multi-colored candy shaped like male genitalia! The children are confused and upset, and I’m outraged.”

Living in San Diego, we don’t have as many old haunted barrooms. I’ve stayed in Room 11 at the Cosmopolitan in Old Town and visited room 3327 at the Hotel Del Coronado, and haven’t yet seen any ghosts. But this weekend I’ll be visiting Alesmith Brewery’s haunted maze, where they promise that we will find out how Evil…

Yeah, I feel like there was a lot of detail in that siren-interrupted trip to Plum Island that didn’t get resolved. I get the feeling Season 4 may lead off with a “Star Trek III: The Search for Spock”-ish adventure.

Getting electrical to and from rotating components is fairly common. There’s a component called a ‘slip ring’, that, in its simplest form, is just a moving metal tab (brush) scraping along a metal ring.  You can use them for power or data connections.

There’s one in San Diego that is also largely a DIY project. The guy used a bearing from a construction crane to mount the house. This one is circular, though, so you aren’t liable to take out the car of a visitor that parks too close.

Do you mean the Real Sugar variety, nee Pespi Throwback? I buy the cans regularly, but I haven’t noticed anything different with the taste.
