Ugh. I watched the first two seasons in record binge-time on Netflix, then got caught up just as Season 3 was about to start. Set a season pass on my DVR and… nothing. No matter what I do, my stupid box will NOT record this show for anything. I managed to snag the first episode by manually telling it to record right…

That sounds more like the 50's prices my father talked about. 50¢ for pickles or a soda sounds like 1990's prices.  I was paying 35¢ for a can of Coke in Alabama as late as 1993.

I expect nothing less from the state that doesn’t know how to properly pronounce capicola, mozzarella, prosciutto or ricotta. 

Came here to say the same thing. Around here, Hardee’s a ghost town all day, except for breakfast, when the drive-thru line is out of the parking lot and often blocking a travel lane on the main highway.  

I dunno, I found his hammy nature laugh out loud funny whenever his attention was turned to Ryan.  He clearly had some desire to know him better. (And who could blame the old king!)

I’ve watched episodes on both a big surround system with a big TV and on a tablet with headphones. Either way, I gotta have subtitles on to understand what’s going on. They just mumble too damn much!

The only quibble I had with this is that Jack would know Sinead O’Connor, but not freakin’ Prince. That was weird. But otherwise, yeah… this episode reminded me that I am not just an adult, but an adult with old fashioned taste in music. I’ve been through this with Stevie Wonder, The Jackson 5, The Guess Who, it goes…

Is there a hack for making Chick-fil-A nuggets not taste like sucky little greasy sadness bombs?  

I’ve been watching it on Pluto TV, one of those free ad-supported channel aggregation things. It’s on my Samsung smart TV. The Shout! channel is right next to the… wait for it… MST3k channel. So many times I’ve got two different MST3k episodes to choose from! It’s madness!

Time to throw a wrench in the works with something that isn’t so much spooky but goofy as all get-out:

I figure it’s only a matter of time until the cuts come to Crunchyroll, Rooster Teeth and Hello Sunshine.  They’re so far down the food chain in AT&T’s realm they may not stand a chance.

Some of the brands can be baked despite lacking eggs.

Here to represent for two of my favorites, both of which are sadly hard to find: Immaculate Baking Company chocolate chunk dough, and Simply Pillsbury chocolate chip. Great to eat raw and both make decent cookies. The Simply Pillsbury (or is it Pillsbury Simply?) are the ones with no artificial crap and they have a…

Finally, a little love for Hardee’s. I think they are quite under-rated.

A nice touch that too many shows miss: During that final long shot, the sound of the gunshot followed the muzzle flash by just a short amount of time, which is exactly what you’d see & hear from that distance.  To me, it made the scene all that more realistic.

I can certainly understand the complaints about having to suspend our beliefs, but you’d be surprised how these strip-mall businesses — even one like a money transfer service that handles a lot of cash — can be so poorly secured against these types of threats. All too often they believe a thick plexiglass window and a…

For years, I threw up at least once a week, every week, for decades.  It’s more sporadic now, but it happens enough that it can’t all be food poisoning.

That this has been unleashed on an unsuspecting internet might partly be my fault. I’ve been doing panels involving watching potential commercials for years and I’ve never once laughed out loud at one, or actually said I genuinely liked one. Until the Chicken Fries ad was played.

I’ve pretty much given up on fast food, but not because of any health reasons. I just happen to live in a tourist-friendly area with hundreds of restaurants of varying quality within 30 miles, and damn near every one sells a hamburger/chicken sandwich/taco platter that is better than fast food.

Years ago I was rummaging through my mom’s pantry looking for something to snack on and came across a foil bag of “garlic bread knots” from Walmart. It was one of those things where you heat the entire bag up and shake it to coat all the bread in whatever garlic/oil goo they sprayed inside. I heated it up and started…
