The character designs are ugly (Wednesday, for one, has an eggplant-shaped head)

Okay, but then everything becomes a nut-butter-flavour sandwich; not exactly subtle. Geez, now you’ve got me thinking about a toasted tahini and bacon sandwich. Maybe lettuce or radish sprouts in there for something that rich. I will test that next cycle.

I’ve had plenty of both over the years and prefer mayo (Duke’s). If you gave my tuna/chickens salad with MW, I wouldn’t kick it off my plate. that’s how my nana made it and I loved her ______ salad sandwiches.

Miracle Whip is tarter and somewhat sweeter than mayo.

It’s basically mayo with more vinegar and sugar.

It’s fine. I don’t get why it’s such a divisive subject.

A cautionary tale:

I think Miracle Whip and Mayo supporters can unite against the Salad Cream people.

Team Miracle Whip here.

I grew up mostly eating Miracle Whip, but I’m more team mayo these days, though I prefer it as more of an aioli (garlic or chipotle) most of the time. I also don’t like a LOT of it either way. There’s a restaurant nearby that puts a metric fuckton of mayo on one of its fried chicken sandwiches and it’s just too much,…

I know I’m old because I’m one thousand percent on the restaurant’s side here. Throw fries at me, teens. I promise you you will only do it once.

Yeah it gets old real quick. My grandparents used to have a place up in the mountains with Bakersfield as the nearest city, and that was a good couple hours away.  It’s incredibly easy to get stuck looking for things to do in small towns out in the middle of nowhere.

Hmmm. I wonder how much spittle these little fuckers have unwittingly consumed in their drinks and burgers over the years?

It seems at some point someone should have at least said “Oh, you mean like a vampire?”  I mean our lead had horror movie posters on his wall... c’mon.

This region is exactly halfway between Sac and Tahoe, the nearest Walmart, Target, Bass Pro Shop, anything that’s even remotely interesting and doesn’t involve the Yuba river is an hour away. East is through the Donner Pass, which delightfully has a memorial picnic area. To them Sacramento is a vogue, hip, mecca of…

I was at Wal-Mart the other day when I happened upon a gaggle of giggly teens while looking for hand soap. They were debating on what type of condoms to buy and stopped abruptly upon my turn into the corner isle. I commented to them, “Do what you gotta do, and least y’all doin’ it right.” Then one of them made an…

Seems like full grown adults are the ones doing the worst of it lately.

It looks like this place is a suburb on the eastern side of Sacramento, no wonder the kids are getting up to shenanigans there’s probably nothing to do there.

Apparently this is actually meant to be the Pacific North West (living on Vancouver Island I often have to point out that they do fish for crab here too...) But I think it’s just one of those “something’s in the air” coincidences? Flanagan said he first proposed this project, but even Netflix turned out down, 10+…

Id rank this higher than C+. C+ to me is mediocre, watch it in the background.

I love Mike Flanagan to death, and think he’s one of the most talented directors working in horror right now, but Jesus Christ, will someone please make him stop writing his own scripts. He’s got two that are pretty good (Ouija and Oculus) but in everything else he does, the writing always stands out as the worst part…

I’m reading some really positive review elsewhere, so I hope this is good. I thought Hill House wasn’t as good as everyone suggested, but that Bly Manor was actually better than the consensus. So hopefully Midnight Mass makes for solid fall viewing.
