What, no Car Seat Headrest?

Miley Cyrus warbling a socially responsible Christmas song with a Christmas-colored jacket glued to her nipples was the funniest SNL sketch in years.

The average season of SNL has more “wacky lounge singer” sketches than there are working lounge singers in the entire country. (Cruise ships don’t count.)

My wife and I used to have a yearly winter party focused on winter drinks. We called it the Nog And Glögg. One year we held it in mid-January for some reason. By that time the eggnog available in stores was very suspicious-looking, so we made our own. I remember it being pretty good, but nobody drank very much of it,…

One of the reasons to make your own eggnog is that you can control the ingredients. I’m not sure if you can buy a lactose-free eggnog, but you can definitely buy lactose-free dairy products to make it from. (I’m not sure about heavy cream, but half-and-half and milk are widely available.)

I can’t decide which makes me more depressed about the state of the Internet, yesterday’s “worst of” article or this “best of” article.

Kinja should be #1 on the list.

I once had a really good spruce beer at Yard’s brewery in Philadelphia. I bought Pennsylvania Tuxedo because I hoped it might taste like the Yard’s, but I was disappointed. No spruce flavor at all.

The Sam Adams variety pack is a mix of beer that I like and can’t get elsewhere (Old Fezziwig, Scotch Ale), and beer that I have no interest in drinking (usually something with weird fruit flavor). I used to buy it for parties, in the hopes that some suckers would drink the stuff I didn’t want.

I’d sometimes keep beer on an enclosed porch in the winter. The porch wasn’t heated, but it was warmer than outside, and got some residual heat from the house.

Why would you ask this question to a waitress? At least throw in something about tipping the babysitter so this makes some kind of sense.

Because she did something good and then immediately died. The problem seems to be that there are too many ways to lose points. Mindy got enough points from her one great action to push her over the threshold, and didn’t have a chance to lose points after that.

I don’t know. Every time I buy stollen, it’s gone long before it can go stae.

The mandel bread I’ve had was nothing like stollen. It was hard and crunchy, like biscotti but a little softer and more moist. Slices of stollen look a little like mandel bread but they’re very different in flavor and texture.

I liked Gary Shteyngart’s Lake Success. I think it’s the only book I read that was actually released in 2018, so it makes up the entirety of my top 10 list.

When Trillium beer was sold in stores, I used to buy it and enjoy it. At some point they stopped selling anywhere but their own taprooms. I’m not going to trek into Boston and stand in line for a chance to buy beer, when there are so many excellent local breweries that make their product readily available to the…

Into the Breach was fine, but how can you say it’s a galactic jump beyond FTL? There was so much happening in FTL. So many weapons, so many different strategies, so many achievements to unlock a huge number of different ships. I played hundreds of hours of FTL to unlock everything, get higher scores, try different…

Somehow, 25 years later, there are multiple kids’ shows created by writers from “Rocko’s Modern Life”.

When making a deep-fried sandwich that’s slathered with margarine and contains a jar of peanut butter and a pound of bacon, it’s important to avoid unnecessary fat. Otherwise it would be disgusting.

I like big bottles (750 ml or 22 oz; I’m not sure which is technically a “bomber”), but I’m frustrated by the trend towards big cans.
