I still don’t get the one in the episode where they flashback to when Maggie was born and Marge thanks the person that works the newsstand:

When Homer was designing his dream car and said that every car should have that little ball on the antenna that helps you find yours in a crowded parking lot?

It was YEARS before I realized that that was a joke about what a terrible idea that would be.

YEARS.

In my experience, plumbers usually are pretty decent folks who try to help people avoid emergencies and often teach me how to handle certain situations on my own

I need to rewatch that episode because I think I was too dazzled by the sheer audacity of the comic brilliance of the episode that I never actually laughed. 

‘Tolerant’ is the perfect word. As long as you stay roughly in the 1-2-3 ratio you’d have to really work at it for the recipe to go wrong. I haven’t made this for a long while, but may have a go nearer Xmas.

next you’ll tell me that people drink coca cola with peanuts in it 

I honestly don’t think any director could expand How The Grinch Stole Christmas into a feature length movie, wrightstuff76. The story was already stretched out at a half-hour, and while it’s all of a marvelous piece thanks to the brilliant teaming of Dr. Seuss and Chuck Jones, stretching it any further doesn’t seem to…

Cassoulet. Make stock from the carcass, mirepoix and sprigs of fresh herbs you have left over. Instant pot is great for making the stock - you’ll have to break down the carcass for it to fit neatly in the 7 quart. Cook white beans (Cannellini or Great Northern) in stock with mirepoix and maybe a ham bone if you have…

Turkey rice soup?

The Truman Show is so weirdly underrated. Fantastic, fantastic (and wildly prophetic) film. Certainly it’s better than As Good as It Gets and The Full Monty. And it has something far more interesting to say than Titanic and Good Will Hunting.

I’d read the shit out of that. There’s so many movies that go into each year looking like they’ll own and either tank hard or disappoint badly. 

If a vaccine is coming then why in GOD’S NAME are so many people flipping out over school closures again? Have a little grace for the teachers who don’t want to get sick and die two months before vaccination so that schools can stay open. (I teach remotely so this is not personal, but watching my colleagues teach for…

Making the stuffing separately is just simpler as you can make the stuffing after the bird is in the oven since it needs less cooking time.

Tangled is in my top 3 Disney (non-Pixar) movies. I probably appreciate it more than I would have had it come out when I was a kid, but as someone who knows a couple people with parents like Gothel, I understood the dynamic way more seeing it as a 20 year old than I would have at age 8 or 9.

Step One: try to breathe. It’s just one meal out of hundreds you’re going to eat this year.

I just posted about this! I even mentioned the T. Rex joke!

That’s exactly why I was bummed that Disney’s ‘Gigantic’ was cancelled. It was some kind of spin on Jack and the Beanstalk. It was going to be the creative team behind Tangled but with the songwriters from Frozen. I think I’m remembering that correctly.

“I See The Light” gets me every time.  That song is just beautiful and the scene was beautifully rendered.

This is in the running for the movie my three year old has watched the most, but she’s far less interested in Rapunzel and Flynn Rider than she is in Maximus and Pascal. She really couldn’t care less about humans in these movies. For her, the animals are the real stars. And I think they’re top-tier animal sidekicks,…

“The lantern sequence itself is one of the most gorgeous scenes in Disney animation history”

100% agreed. It was the first one since “Circle of Life” to truly take my breath away the first time I saw it, and it remains a favorite even though the Frozens and especially Moana have had moments comparably strong. I would…
