Fool that I was, I came into this article assuming I was jaded enough to be unmoved by whichever brand was theoretically good. But boy these are good as hell! Maybe because blending memes and literature feels more authentic, than, say, blending memes and the 23 delicious flavors of Dr. Pepper, available wherever…

Just wanted to stop in and note that the Hunger Pang tagline + thumbnail combo has me clicking on every single one of these articles.

Honestly, there might be tactical value for Bruce Wayne to send capable, but slightly shittier stand-ins to petty crimes just to throw the criminal underworld off his scent. It’d be so disappointing to finally kill Batman only to find out you killed, like, the 15th best Batman.

Yep, fellow ADHD kid here; you won’t notice the same effects as other people, typically.

Wow, when I read the title I was expecting that it was a generous interpretation of a secondhand Herzog story, but this interview is the best thing I’ve read in months. Thanks for setting this up, Katie/AVC. 

It takes a lot of journalistic integrity to underscore exactly how small of a laugh the “leftover girlfriends” line got you, Drew. I respect that. 

Not when the halfback is functionally driving an armored car through the secondary.

Most of the time, it’s because the halfback doesn’t carry the metaphysical weight and block shedding ability of the entire 53-man roster combined. If you found me a back who put up 3400 reps and a 2.2 40 at the combine, I bet they would be happy to cut most of the OL talent to sign them. 

Right, they can (and probably did, I don’t remember) do those things! To a couple people each, maybe! The relative importance of that is undercut by the 20+ baddies that Marvel literally plowed through uninhibited while they were doing so.

Spoilers, not that you should be surprised given the article’s disclaimer:

I’m grilling tonight, so classic for me. I know I can only do one or two things right at any given time, so I don’t mess around with additions when I’m at home. It’s platonic ideal or nothing. 

Dear Salty, I’m afraid to have a conversation with my server. How can I make them solve my problems without telling them what my problems are?

Reading this thread made me realize I’m on board with pretty much EVERY chocolate covered fruit.

Disclaimer: not a spanish expert, but I imagine because it’s modifying the feminine noun “cerveza” (beer), the adjective becomes feminine as well.

I think I’m giving this one to Allison; if I saw a convenience store stocked with only the picks from each person this would be the shelf calling my name. Part of it is my utter indifference to mint in candy, part of it is my slavish devotion to caramel (I’m assuming the Cadbury Caramel variant would be available).

In highschool, a friend and I would bike 15 miles to a Taco Johns, get a 6 pack and a pound, then race each other back. It was basically the juvenile equivalent of a beer mile and it often resulted in one of us stopping at the top of a hill and lying prone on the ground for several minutes.

When I spent time in Copenhagen, my understanding was that Carlsberg’s slogan was “Probably the only beer in the world”; every bar had Carlsberg coasters, seat covers, and umbrellas. Their national art museum was basically entirely bankrolled by the Carlsberg founders. It was omnipresent in a way that I’ve never seen…

Here’s hoping that there are no staffing implications for the AVC writers, although I’m never convinced that this is possible in acquisitions. 

This one was close for me. Gwen and Kate had the best two stables of picks in my book, but I’ve never had bacon jam which really reduces the weight of Kate’s draft. Fortunately, lettuce is pretty much equally a nonfactor... I think the edge goes to Kate, but bacon almost stole it all away.

It’s brutal how much pizza overcentralizes the game, but I give it to Kevin. I think the beef shawarma bowl is a bit of a last-minute stumble, but the 5th round is for polarizing picks and you went to bat for your pick (personally, I’m only ever getting a gyro in that situation, but that’s because I love my gyro guy).
