I grew up eating Lebanon bologna in the Philadelphia area and I was pleasantly surprised when I lived in the Buffalo-Niagara region to find that it was readily available there. Both sweet and regular varieties to boot!

Count him along with Roger Corman as people I would have thought were already dead, although to my surprise last week, Corman is alive and well.

With the tight labor market right now, I doubt the fast food industry as we know it can survive...

Is there a specific lesson in business school that teaches people to speak in vacuous sentences that no human being would ever spontaneously utter? Did that Marvel Consumer Products guy need to take a long shower after uttering that nonsense?

“What is this being paid you speak of?”

I’m guessing “passed out cold for 30min from the scene” is either a misprint or an exaggeration.  30 seconds is reasonable for the scenario, 30 minutes, though?  If true, get that man some medical attention.

Conversely, the kids with ADHD may have been oddly well behaved.

I will put in the caveat that some people have chronic issues stemming from a resolved acute lyme infection, but that obviously is not what these quacks are telling their patients, many of whom probably never even had a true case of the disease to begin with.

Honestly, the trailer was kind of a let-down for me.  Mainly because it looked kind of cheap and generic.

Unfortunately, not only have they not seen these diseases, but the generations that did and remember, for example, kids they knew ending up in wheelchairs from poliomyelitis, are quickly dying out.  That folk memory is very valuable.  

Maybe not the same level of evil flim-flammery, because they’re not exploiting people who are actually dying, but here in New England, we have a lot of “lyme literate” practitioners. They validate patients’ unfounded claims that they have lyme disease, convince them that they possess some unique knowledge that the…

In my experience as a physician, these things know no economic boundaries. For every sham clinic that sells useless and expensive treatments (and ego boosts) to people with more money than scientific literacy, there’s a cheap, fly-by-night product that people can buy at the Dollar Store that makes the same claims.

The other reason I prefer the lack of continuity is what we’re seeing with Star Wars... by trying to maintain canonical consistency, they’re writing themselves into a corner... or multiple corners, as it is. The great thing about James Bond is that he usually has a fresh start in every movie, with only very minor…

Meh.  I prefer the lack of continuity.  Otherwise, world events and the march of technology could make parts of a unified narrative obsolete mid-series.

I’m going on the definition that British includes English, Scottish, and Welsh (and other minor groups, like Cornish, Manx and the Channel Islanders).

I would actually exclude Aldi and Lidl from my previous statement, since they’re sort of in their own bargain-basement category. I haven’t visited the US version of either store since I moved back to North America, but in Germany, you never knew day to day what they would have in stock. Some days, they may lack a…

And add to this... he’s not exactly a young man, and just by the look of him, he does not appear to be... um, an exactly spritely specimen. He doesn’t have an infinite amount of time to start both a cinematic universe and finish the books.

What gets me is that some of these fans act like Star Wars was some niche interest, obscure film series that survived only by because of their passionate devotion, so we should defer to them on all matters Star Warsian...

He should be British, so British can be any [ethnicity or race].”

Krakus ham isn’t the same thing as Krakauer, is it?  I’ve bought the latter, and it adds a little variety to the taste and texture of a standard sandwich, although I won’t claim it’s some kind of hidden deli gem.
