You've come a long way, baby

I accidentally saw 'Christmas with the Kranks' a few years ago, while it was playing in the background at a friend's house and felt the same way. The entire movie with an awful premise about awful, saccharine people. It did the opposite of it's intent - it made me want to forget Christmas exists at the time.

No thanks, think i'm good. My best friend's husband is from there, i've heard enough.

Tourtiere is way better (in my opinion) than british-style meat pies ( i've lived in both places). It's also super filling - you can eat only a small piece.

Obligatory:

There was a guy who owned/ran the McDonald's in my hometown - and he'd be behind there helping put drive thru orders together if they got slammed. I worked near there and saw him in there all the time - chatting with people or helping out. Really friendly guy, never seen it elsewhere since.

Boys, aged 11. My coworker has twins of this age and she said all they want for Christmas is whatever stuff youtube stars shill. I guess some of them have their own toys/stuffies/whatever. She said they are obsessed with youtube stars because they're famous yet are relate able - and her one son wants to have his own…

I work in the design department of a corporate office which is entirely female. The execs get the design team to decorate the lunch room. Like professionally, big time. Last year took us 3 weeks to make wreaths and centerpieces by hand. This year i spend my days creating an entire Christmas village from scratch.…

Brings back the warming,fiery memories of Bhopal. Ah, the 80s!

Well, at least there is a woman there who's real, actual name is, 'Brytni' (!!)

I felt that way when i first listened to and watched Hank Hill's voice come out of Mike Judge in an interview with Howard Stern. His natural voice and accent is pretty close to Hank's.

You didn't know about the oral contraceptives helping with acne thing?

I can't read Reddit. Literally. The whole design of the thing bewilders me. I can never see who is quoting who. The stylings of craigslist is elegant by comparison.

I lived in Glasgow for awhile (i'm Canadian). Those Orange parades were…um…intense and sinister. When i first saw one i happily asked someone in the city centre what it was for (because i'm used to parades that are mostly for joyous occasions). She said, 'Watch the expressions on their faces - nothing but hate.'

Ugh, women, amirite?

I think what effects the re-watch-ability of Breaking Bad is now you know what's coming. 50% of the enjoyment of that show is not knowing if something will work or play out and all that panic/tension - it's a fantastic show obviously, but it's not nearly as re-watchable as other shows for this reason.

Robbie is the best partner outside the gang out of everyone who's been on that show.

I thought Nelson Franklin is super funny, even when he was throw fist fulls of appetizers across the room.

Mine was at a rep theatre showing Pontypool at Hallowe'en. Good lead actor and decent idea for a plot but he fucks it all up near the end. The opening half hour is pretty promising though.

I'm Canadian, so naturally i put ketchup on a lot of stuff (i think we're supposed to be the largest consumers of ketchup there is?). Eggs, hash browns, fries, meatloaf, burgers, hot dogs, roast beef, grilled cheese, mac and cheese…list goes on. No one would blink twice if you eat like that here. I dunno, i don't get…
