Well, in about 2/3 of the country right now, you can just put some filled ice cube trays out on the front porch and wait an hour or so.

I lean more towards Noel as my favorite West Wing Christmas episode, but In Excelsis Deo is my wife’s pick.  I find it a little too mawkish in places, but Mrs. Landingham’s scene with Toby admonishing him for arranging the homeless veteran’s funeral, followed by saying she’d like to go along, that just gets to me…

Even though I know it wasn’t a realistic dream, I really wanted this movie to open and flop, just to spite Cameron’s big ego. But watching it do just ok, and not lighting the world on fire like the first one?  That might be just as much fun.

Picanick basket lids.  

Maybe now we can get a movie that’s just two hours of him doing this:

Can someone who’s had one tell me, do they put pickles on their Chicken Biscuits for breakfast? Or is it an option? I got a bacon egg cheese biscuit this weekend and it had a damn pickle on it. It was 6:15 in the morning, and I couldn’t figure out why they would even have the pickles out at that time of day, unless…

Rest in peace to a Daughter of the American Revolution and a proud recipient of the Francis Scott Key Key.

Somebody who’s read the book, does Mr. McAlister make an appearance?  

How about You Only Live Twice? I’m always fascinated that he cowrote a James Bond movie.

I feel the same about Yellowstone. It’s absurd but I keep watching it.

Same here. Anything that’s even close to being usable that’s put on the curb will be snapped up within a day. My parents live around the corner from us and put an broken down old couch/love seat combo on the curb, and it was gone that night. A week later, we woke up in the morning to find those same pieces on the curb…

We got a new one here over the summer after the last one across town closed about 10 years ago and everyone was very excited about it, until it opened and the horrible reviews came pouring in. Long waits, under- or overcooked food, rude and poorly-trained staff.  We’re constantly thinking about going in, but the word…

Lots of good reasons here in the comments about why this is a dumb idea, and I’ll add that ‘getting your walls back’ is pretty ridiculous, too. I have 8 foot ceilings, so once I hang a tv and the basket(s) underneath it, I guess I can just lean my 4'x 6'Monet print against the wall underneath it?

I would have happily seen The Fablemans this weekend, except it’s not playing anywhere near me here in Central Arkansas. The closest theater that has it is two hours from here in Memphis. Even our lone ‘indie’ place didn’t get it. I have a rule that I see every Spielberg movie in the theater (yes, even The BFG),…

Damn, you’re right! in my defense, I didn’t forget which one was which, I just forgot which one ordered what.

I bet this wouldn’t have been a problem for Elwood Blues.

This seems to be the way it works now. Someone is falsely reported as having died, only to actually die a few days later. Weird.
