While not as high end as this sort of dealership, I used to have to take my car to a Jaguar/Land Rover dealership for service. I used to joke that I knew that I was in a high-end place because the only magazine they had out in the waiting area was Cigar Afficianado.

My first job was at a mall foodcourt Haagen-Dazs and we realized that it actually cost less to order a la carte whipped cream and hot fudge over a cup of ice cream than it did to order a sundae. That’s some balls on a combo.

Jack Kirby created a whole set of stories called The Fourth World which revolved around the conflict between a “good” set of New Gods led by Highfather on New Genesis and an “evil” set on a sister planet Apokolips led by Darkseid. These advanced alien beings use MotherBoxes as portable computers/worm holes (Boom…

It’s the trouble with having a country that was essentially founded on the principle of not wanting to pay taxes.

One franchise that had a ton of potential and has completely vanished as a quality product is the Hellraiser series. The first two were quite good and the third had its charms. But, after that, it vanished into a spiral of worsening DTV schlock. There have been persistent rumors of a reboot, but I haven’t heard…

Of course, this may be just a case of why you shouldn’t have a dairy farmer run an intelligence committee, but if you want to be more conspiratorial:

If I’ve told them once, I’ve told them a hundred times: Spinal Tap first, Puppet Show second.

How about Session 9? Its long on atmosphere and has a surprisingly good performance by David Caruso. Frailty and Jacob’s Ladder are two of my favorites as well. In the Mouth of Madness and Event Horizon might fit as well. This excludes classics like The Shining, Rosemary’s Baby, Psycho, etc.

I had the opposite experience once when a friend cut his hand open on a broken wine glass at a steak house. The manager tried to get us to take him to a hospital in an ambulance. While the cut did require stitches, an ambulance would have been way overkill.

Once, when I was in Pittsburgh, I asked a bartender if they had Maker’s Mark, and the bartender told me he’d look to see what they had on tap. My friend and I got up from the bar and left on that note.

That’s great stuff. Cheers!

I’m not a diabetic, but I am a physician. Sugars are carbs (and eventually all consumed carbs are broken down to sugars to be used for energy production in the body). It is more important to maintain a day-to-day consistency of carbohydrate intake such that your medication regimen is appropriate for your diet and…

Is Led Zeppelin really “sensitive folk music”?

My sister lives in a town that is so far to the left that it is illegal for supermarkets to give out plastic bags (and you have to pay for paper if you don’t have a reusable). I got the same paranoid feeling when I found out that more than 30% of the people in her town voted for Trump. Is nowhere safe?

This is what JetBlue does. Unfortunately, they have stopped giving a free checked bag, so everyone carries on as much crap as possible, so if you have a seat that is about 10 or lower, you end up having to gate-check your bag through no fault of your own.

I am the same way. I can’t stand Hanks for reasons I can’t quite put my finger on. It always seems that he has an incredible amount of smug. The only one of his movies that I’ve seen all the way through is Dragnet. One interesting thing though is that if someone finds out about my aversion to him, they…

I’ll just leave this here...

What about The Mighty Heroes?

The closest he came was throwing his wife under the bus with the speech joke.
