I’ve had and really enjoyed these in England, but I never knew they were a thing in the UP (not that I really know what is or is not a thing in the UP).  Any idea how the pasty became a regional food in the UP?

The armed forces use BMI as a screening tool, not the final determinate to see if the member meets the height and weight standards. Anyone who screens above the allotted BMI then has a body fat calculation, and this is what actually determines the pass/fail.

I always remember this one. Back in the days before every motel offered an included breakfast, breakfast on the road for us as a family meant those Kellog’s variety packages. My older brother and sister would always take the sweet cereals, like Corn Pops and Applejacks, leaving Product 19 and All Bran for me and my…

I can just imagine the flash-back episode.  A young(er) Jessica Fletcher, while researching the social life of the Hollywood jetset for her latest novel, stumbles upon a set of discarded, blood-stained knives along the roadside of Benedict Canyon...

I can’t think that any sane person would disagree.

Someone who is 600 lb can physically do very, very little. That kind of extra body mass makes doing the minimum basic activities of daily living extremely difficult, much less meeting the demanding schedule required of an actor.

That probably helped her maintain an extremely long career in show business.

Remember how this all started with an AVClub bait-and-switch headline that implied Aziz Ansari was the guilty party?

She was the only female I can think of who belongs to that exclusive club of actors, including Ed Asner, Wilford Brimley and Morgan Freeman, who could convincingly play much older characters than their actual age.

No offense to Dame Lansbury, but Danny Kaye absolutely owns that film.

For some reason, I want to say her rather angular chin made her look more mature at a relatively young age.

I can’t be the only one who gets the impression that Bennigan’s CEO (amazing that is even still an actual position) just sounds almost pathetically overly optimistic. But hey, in a world where Appleby’s remains a viable chain, perhaps there’s still hope for Bennigans.

I always sprinkle some Fiber One in top of another cereal. Not for the bland taste or pressed sawdust texture. Rather, for the effortless regularity it provides me the following morning.

Hasn’t Murray’s screen persona always been somewhat dickish, though? I can’t think of a single role he plays where the character gives off a warm, friendly glow. It works fine as a character in film, but not necessarily someone you’d want to hang around with.

More likely, he's a bad person with mental health problems.

I would go further to state that most bad people have mental health problems.

Does anyone own the rights to Thr Children of Hurin? 

I remember that Burger King had a Pokemon tie-in promtion in the early 2000s. Not being aware of this, I randomly stopped off there for lunch one day. Much longer line than usual, and there were a bunch of soccer moms yelling at the staff and manager in their Philly accents because apparently they were out of the…

You don't want to know what Bill the pony did before he joined the Fellowship? Just think of all the hay and oat-related adventures.

Who owns the First Age rights?
