How can anyone malign pork roll?

(Taylor ham is apparently slightly different from pork roll! I’ve never had Taylor ham. Taylor pork roll is where it’s at, though. Speaking as a Philly girl.)

False. It’s a tie.

I agree with everything here except the “ketchup, you’re doing it wrong” part. Family from the Philly area, and some of my relatives’ preference for ketchup on Scrapple goes back to the 40s. That’s just the way it was.

God. Same.

While I agree with you on that, I had also read that the problem is that they have to market these “time saving” (or clumsy-saving) items to the non-disabled, because they need to sell to a larger audience in order to make them cost-effective for the disabled consumers who really need them. (So, using disabled people…

Will Arnett not joining in the mansplaining isn’t really good enough. Silence from other men is complicity. Other men, who clearly won’t listen to a woman, need to hear fellow men tell them “that’s fucked up”. He should have stuck up for her.

Yes, I particularly liked the line about Carter having been building houses for the needy for the past 30 years. Except, he left office 38 years ago.

(Just to be clear: surviving guy was the one being gnawed-on. Dead guy is the one who ran, instead of trying to whallop the cat. He won’t be second-guessing his actions.)

(I mean, I agree with you otherwise, but half of that 8 feet is tail. Still, their size and weight isn’t a good indicator of how strong they are, as well as being built to kill. You may outweigh it, but you don’t want to tussle with it.)

(Seriously. I’m sitting here right now with bandages on my right palm because I just picked up my cat this morning, knocked something over at the same time, which freaked her out, and she double-fish-hooked me in the palm while escaping. And this cat weighs 6 pounds.)

(Not to defend this asshole in any way, but I suspect what he is trying to say is that others referring to “West Virginia people” as a generalization is somehow racist. Like, “West Virginia people are idiots”. So the quote from him above needs some additional punctuation: “Is [saying] ‘West Virginia people’ racist?”)

A few days late, but chiming in to say: completely with you. Liverwurst sandwiches were a staple in our (Philly) house when I was a kid, and I don’t think there was ever a time I didn’t love them. (I also loved scrapple and pork roll when I was little; and still do, of course. And I see you mention “kaiser” rolls,…

It holds up. Great movie.

I first watched JAWS when I was 13, home alone, in a house in earshot of the ocean crashing on the beach. A+ decision, let me tell you.

Having read both books (plus the one about death in Yosemite, “Off the Wall”), I sort of agree. While the Grand Canyon one has a lot of falling deaths, plus drowning deaths (Colorado River), Yellowstone wins by virtue of sheer weirdness. It’s the boiling alive thing. Hard to top that.

“the home counties of the UK”?

I think what you’re saying about Mickey is exactly right. But for me, the problem with some of the recent Muppets stuff is the opposite. In the sitcom, I couldn’t keep watching because it struck me as too mean-spirited.

(See below for my additional rec — if you’re a fan of Steven Universe, Adventure Time, and OTGW, and you haven’t checked out Gravity Falls yet, do!)

Rereading the original comment - I’m also going to recommend “Gravity Falls” to you. It’s another kids show that stands alongside Steven Universe and Adventure Time, but it has the advantage that it ran for 2 seasons (of 20 eps each), and then ended (a couple of years ago). The creator told the story he wanted to…
