Someone on AVC linked us that when another TH discussion came up about a year ago and I've watched it so much since then. Great series of concert clips, and that one is the best.
But, then again, it's my 2nd favorite song of theirs, so I'm mostly happy they did a fantastic version.

That would be better — but I usually like a good shot of absinthe as a base. Maybe I just like absinthe too much? Back to the mixing board!
Also, I was disappointed that even with absinthe verte, it doesn't really turn green, for the Green Russian. (It actually mixed best with blanc, flavor & clotting-wise.) Pam…

And — providing you like the flavor at all — it is rather easy to drink absinthe quickly enough to get hallucinating drunk. Swiss/white absinthes are like candy to me — and they aren't even that strong. Czech with sugar makes it go down all too smoothly.

Indeed it does. I'm a big fan of absinthe, so when Pam mentioned this drink, I had to give it a shot. And the curdled cream is very offputting.
My suggestion — chill the absinthe on ice; do not use cream; chill the milk on ice — then add simple syrup and mix all together. Drink quickly. Go start fights with the…

I took that as a funny description of the division of labor between creative and accounts. Accounts has to bring the baby to term after creative does the "impregnation" — and they take care of the client after the contract, too. Creative gets the fun work (sex); accounts has to endure the pregnancy.

When you describe it as a parental desire to express themselves through their kids, it does sound rather sad/odd/pathetic. But let me provide a couple of other reasons as to why I share my childhood things with my kids:
It provides us a common frame of reference — things to talk about, things to share. I can answer…

The dialogue is often very artificial, I would agree. But most of the show is similarly fake, so I let it slide. They obviously haven't been going for realistic since day one.
But when you phrased it so perfectly "How much of Mads dialogue sounds like platitudes?" I have to whole-heartedly agree. It's like he's…

I've been buying season passes for the last several years, and enjoying Mad Men Mondays. I doubt they/AMC cares all that much — advertisers need eyeballs and all that — but people that outright buy the show from them should make them happy, I would think.

Branches have mostly"survived" physically, though two did not get replaced after one new building combined two old ones, and one morphed into a community center.
No, the bigger damage is internal, and the war over collection maintenance. Even if any of us had bought any of these nihilistic humor books, chances are…

Mixed results here at Boston Public Library. We have two of the three Bigfoot books (the only ones on this list I've already read, unfortunately) — one of which is in archives. Moe Chronicles is in-house use only. (Probably a high theft item.) Rachel Papers even has an ebook, plus a few other editions. But…

Cigarettes were something like Esculus or Escalus. I vaguely remember because I joked to my wife that they totally made that shit up, 'cause I've never heard of the brand. (And I come from a long line of smokers in the family.) The blasting caps were Emulex. To my ears, I also thought it was the brand of the…

Except AVC has far fewer hidden menus. Fewer things that only pop up if you hover over them. That crap annoys me to no end. I will do that in a video game, but not when I'm just trying to read (and maybe comment.)

That's the real reason for my dislike of Dissolve. I go there occasionally — usually linked by someone from here — and end up lost in really bad design. Hidden links, hidden menu items, etc. The kind of crap that probably looks good on mobile devices — and maybe even works well on them.
The Dissolve is actually…

I realize after 2018+ comments I am probably aiming to be in a distinct minority, but I really think that using the format of Disqus — new comments and upvoting — to create a ballot system in a notoriously shitty commenting system that can't handle large amounts of comments in a user friendly style actually is the…

As if I didn't love Gilliam already. Now that's an interpretation (non-canon, obviously) that's really cool to consider. Unlike Synder's tone-deaf version.

I occasionally bust on writers at AVC for being overly verbose, but I have to give credit here: this write-up of a beloved standard was novel, short, and heartfelt. I'm not even a huge fan of the song, but I loved reading about what it meant to TVDV.
And it was inspiring enough to think of giving the song another…

From the future — just checked this out, mostly for the Rudd/Fey thing — and I'm shocked how shitty this trailer was. The movie was occasionally funny, mostly heartfelt, and occasionally endearing.
The trailers made this look like Road Trip 2 or some shit. This is actually a decent film — "3rd act problems",…

Glad to find another soul who thought the most interesting piece of the article was the announcement about The Thin Man.
The article was well written, and I agree with most of the discussion about MI, but I love the first couple Thin Man movies, and I am so excited to rewatch them for the next Run The Series.
Witty…

I think Marah and I are musical twins. This is the 3rd music announcement in the last few months about a (new-ish) band I like, and then I notice she wrote it. And it includes album info, concert dates and everything.

@john teti. (Though I don't believe we can call out staff directly in Discuss.)
Your story of enjoyment and break-up with Titanic and funeral is all too close to my own memories of that time. My girlfriend at the time and I saw it, and it had us closer for a while, like survivors of trauma hooking up to affirm being…
