Duck is fairly common where I live, and every time it appears on a menu I ask my wife in a cloying, obnoxious voice if she wants to eat Donald Duck. In other words, my wife has a high tolerance for annoying.

Exactly, the cute factor does it—I was surprised the article didn't even mention this in passing.

Spoiler alert: John Hamm was the pig ALL ALONG!

Dude, the Nintendo Coca Cola/Sega Pepsi thing is what I've been joking about for years. The 90s were filled with these—Michael Jordan/Shaq, McDonalds/Burger King. Somebody above said they remembered getting into a fight about what was better, Nintendo or Sega. For me, I really vividly remember getting into a fist…

This is what I call the Walter White effect—people sometimes like these shows for all the wrong reasons.

I had just moved to a new city, and our family got cable for the first time, and I remember watching Ren and Stimpy, Rocko's Modern Life, Are you Afraid of the Dark, Clarissa Explains it All, and then switching the channel to watch Fresh Prince of Belair followed by the Simpsons, which was still a year or two away…

My most 1997 memory was playing Golden Eye 4 player for about 10 hours straight and listening to Hypnotize at a friends sleepover party. It's amazing how many vivid memories I have of the items on this list though, it almost seems fake that I feel like I experienced them all in one way or another. I was a huge Star…

The hottest take down of 93!

Eugene Parker! Actually my uncle's father. Really interesting guy, discovered solar wind, no big deal. He came to my grandparents house once for Christmas and was probably one of the most interesting people I've ever spoken to. He said he didn't think people could go to Mars because they'd die from cosmic radiation…

The old kfc logo—Colonel Sanders' bolo tie looks like a tiny, enfeebled stick figure body, and he's teetering trying to support the weight of his normal sized head. That's what I always saw as a kid lol

I was waiting for someone to say this!!!

This is the first thing I thought of when I saw this post!

I reported it first!

No, this kind of stuff is so annoying. A bunch of middle aged white guy's depiction of "Japan"—her name is "Noodle"! Sumo body guards! They all eat sushi at the banquet! Disguised as a geisha. It's just a lazy accumulation of stale tropes and "Japanese" stereotypes being peddled by leering white men. Do you think this…

Orientalist garbage.

This seems like as good a time as any to share when my friend and I became obsessed with Tim Allen and made a series of "tribute" videos and an angelfire quality website (timallenfanzone.org) including fanfiction, fan art and more. I did it thinking he was the most banal celebrity I could think of, and the idea of…

I read this site at work during lunch (I work in a Japanese office) and I'm always scared people will think I'm looking at porn.

What I've actually read that the reason for curry's popularity was a military thing. The Navy started using it to feed sailors during the Meiji period because it was easy to prepare, slop like food. Diseases like rickets and malnourishment were common, and they adopted the practice from the British Royal Navy.

He posts first because he lives in a non US time zone (presumably, I think he's from Malaysia or something—no offense if I'm totally wrong there).

The last time I saw a blockbuster was a
couple years ago when I was living in Honolulu. They had one under the highway near Kahala Mall, and it was kind of like—whoa these things still exist? Here in Japan on the other hand—video rental stores are still very much a thing. But now that I mention it, people still buy CDs…
