It's mostly something like: "I made you a separate pot of wild rice. I replaced the chicken broth with vegetable broth, and I replaced the bacon fat with some magical dust I got from an old beggar in the black forest. I only had to trade a cow, can you believe it?!" And then you have to eat the whole fucking…

Yeah, this is generally his belief now. As others have said, it's evolved since "Kitchen Confidential" was published where he basically just ragged on us for no reason. I'm a vegetarian, but I eat meat when I'm travelling abroad (for cultural reasons and convenience) and I fucking hate it when people cooking for me…

That was the only part that didn't ring true to me. Of course Tom would care about fonts. He knows at least five different shades of black.

As an extreme example, I'm listening to classical radio right now, and they just placed a Bach song directly after playing Schubert. I know next to nothing about classical music (it's mostly on for background) but I know that those two have very little in common. But hell, everything written before 1915 is basically…

Getting a Wall-Mart gift card would force me to go to Wall-Mart. Consider me on the side of JUSTICE (Netflix)!

Ok people, I'm taking odds this person is affiliated with Odd Future in some way. All bets need to be filed in the next five minutes!

Though I agree with you in theory, this is of course a children's movie. They're allowed to hit you over the head with the moral of the story, because their main audience is looking forward to middle school. Though I understand what you're saying: when I tried to explain Judith Butler to my niece, she just wasn't…

Apparently that's the case. I haven't read the book yet, but most of the reactions havent necessarily criticized the obvious reference to Wallace, but rather how it was never actually addressed.

Fuck, you played D&D on your camping trips? All we did is learn how to survive in the wild. Fast forward ten years and I still never got the opportunity to play.

I count 9, including the changing banner adds, which means my day just became 9x shittier.

It was a new episode, because D.C.'s Fox affiliate only plays episodes from the last few seasons. It makes it harder to defend my adopted home.

Two words: "The Rock."

I had no idea what it meant, and then I Googled it, and then I felt incredibly white. Blindingly so.

I was going to make a joke about moderate Jews and Muslim terrorists living together since they're so alike (topical!), but I couldn't think of any Jewish or Muslim Simpsons characters that weren't from single episodes. Can anybody help me out? Should the Jewish Cowboy rent the apartment above the newly radicalized…

Scott seems to find it a bit harder to offer a full-throated defense of the movie, I think because Tasha is clearly so in love with it that he is mostly reacting to her points or accusations (in a friendly way, of course).

If I may class up this page, I'd like to mangle a quote from John Steinbeck. Ahem:

Go back to whatever non-American country spawned you!

I've heard it attributed to Krugman, as well.

Is that what that show is about? Between this and The Killing comparisons, I'm starting to wonder if I'm a part of the problem.

Yeah, but you can do that for liberals too: 1)timid, 2) dangerously naive, 3) anything having to do with a drum circle. The repressed homosexual thing though, that's just playing the odds.
